Hitter Profiles: To Buy Or Not to Buy…. It is time for one of our favorite traditions here with hitter profiles as we debate early season performance and identify some buy or sell candidates at current ownership rates. This week, we will dig through a few of the leaderboards trying to find players with hot starts and figure out if we have struck gold or are simply fools in waiting. With all of the injuries so far this season, owners are rushing to fill lineup holes and anybody that is off to a hot start may seem like a lineup mainstay when they should really be trade bait. Last season, we had a Matt Chapman return to glory only to scuttle for much of the year. On the flip side, James Outman was able to sustain the results all season providing a huge lift for fantasy owners that jumped on the train early. Let’s dive into three intriguing players as we close out the first month of the 2024 fantasy baseball season.

So here’s the issue off the top: Jackson Holliday is not on this list. I mean I haven’t written yet, in full, but he’s not gonna be on this list. One of the few rules I’ve created to help me create this document throughout the season is that once you’re a big leaguer in the current season, you’re off the list. Holliday cashed those major league game checks, so he won’t be represented here. I suppose he'd be first here, but I’m not even gonna think about it because one of the key points here is to highlight players who might not be rostered yet. I’m not even sure we’re late enough into the season to reach that objective in most leagues, but that’s irrelevant to the ultimate Ultimate goal of creating interesting, readable fantasy baseball content.

Musgrove (3-3) allowed a career-high four homers and didn’t get out of the fourth. Aaron Nola (4-1) was brilliant in pitching eight innings for the second straight start. He struck out 10 for the first time this season and 31st time in his career, while holding San Diego to three runs and seven hits, with one walk. His only big mistake was allowing rookie Graham Pauley’s two-run homer in the seventh, his second. Schwarber’s shot was his 100th in a Phillies uniform.

Cubs' Shota Imanaga just did something no pitcher has done since World War II. Ferriss, who made his big league debut with the Boston Red Sox in 1945, notched back-to-back All-Star appearances in his first two seasons in the league, amassing 46 wins and 538 2/3 innings - both staggering numbers by today's standards - in the process. The right-hander finished his rookie campaign with a 21-10 mark, 2.96 ERA and a fourth-place finish in MVP voting. Unfortunately, Ferriss' playing career lasted just six years - but it was an eventful run. In addition to his standout rookie performance and two All-Star selections, he also made a pair of starts in the 1946 World Series against the Cardinals, allowing just three runs over 13 1/3 innings of work.

4/27/24 11:01 AM -
Brice Turang: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Players. Welcome back, friends, to another week of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. Last week I talked about Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio. I'm liking Milwaukee so much that I have decided to stick with the Brewers and talk about second baseman Brice Turang.
Selected with the 21st overall pick in the 2018 draft out of high school, Turang was playing in Triple-A by 2021 at the age of 21 as the club aggressively pushed him through the system. A left-handed hitter, Turang spent all of the 2022 season at Triple-A Nashville, slashing .286/.360/.412 with 13 homers, 78 RBI and 34 steals while only being caught stealing twice. The homers and RBI were career highs.
Turang started the 2023 season back at Nashville but was there for only 15 games before the Brewers recalled him. He spent the rest of the season with Milwaukee, appearing in 137 games and slashing a not-so-thrilling .218/.285/.300. Those are not the numbers of a player who is an up-and-coming dynasty player.
But I think he is a player to target. Let's examine why.

Ranger Suarez (P - PHI)
4/27/24 6:16 AM -
Pitchers' duel expected when Padres host Phillies. Saturday night's matchup between the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres is likely to be a classic pitchers' duel, based on how the opposing pitchers have fared to start the 2024 season. Philadelphia left-hander Ranger Suarez and his 25 straight scoreless innings will take the mound against San Diego right-hander Dylan Cease, who's allowed just five hits in winning his past three starts. Suarez (4-0, 1.36 ERA) has been the best pitcher on arguably the best starting staff in the majors. Suarez's current scoreless streak is the longest for a Phillies pitchers since another lefty, Cliff Lee, authored one that lasted 30 2/3 innings from Aug. 17-Sept. 10, 2011.
