| 3/20/24 | Chicago Cubs shouldn't be nearly as worried about hyped rival players as experts say. The Chicago Cubs are now the favorites to win the NL Central but according to a lot of baseball writers who are optimistic about breakouts and busts in the 2024 season, the rest of the teams in the division have players with a significantly higher ceiling than the Cubs could possibly contend with. Davy Andrews of Fangraphs recently posted an article saying that it's time to get excited about Oneil Cruz and Elly De La Cruz, which is an extremely un-exciting thing to hear as a fan of the Chicago Cubs, but it's worth looking at why they're expected to improve.

| 3/20/24 | Forget about Jordan Montgomery. Phillies can't afford to ignore the long term in a stacked NL.. There was an afternoon earlier this week when the talk of the Phillies clubhouse was a 25-year-old shortstop with a 6-foot-7 inch frame and a penchant for triple-digit exit velocities. For the second time this spring, they'd tried and failed to slow down Oneil Cruz, allowing two more tape-measure home runs to the third-year Pirates sensation. A couple of Phillies pitchers marveled at his fifth-inning at-bat against Spencer Turnbull, from the 1-2 curveball he golfed over the right-center fence to the preceding pitch, an inside, offspeed pitch that he'd ripped foul with a ferocious crack. Rob Thomson, a man not usually known for his hot takes, got into the spirit of the season and offered his own bold prediction for the upcoming campaign.

Do you have non-sexy Cruzes ready to go? Demand answers from me! Wait, I am me. AHHHHH!!! When did that happen? So, yes -- or YAAAAAAS if George Santos is reading -- Riley Greene is likely a sexy sleeper, but so what? We'll get you some boring eh-eff sleepers soon, don't worry! They can't all be platoon outfielders for the Pirates! Instead, they're corner outfielders for the Tigers. Not since Ron LeFlore has my excitement level been this high for a Tigers' outfielder.
