JD on Joe Ryan (Aug 5, 2026): Something looks off with Joe Ryan, and I know he goes through ups and downs with his stuff and his results but it seems like this time might be different. It's easier to overlook when you're on the right side of 20 but now that he's over 30 he feels more like a ticking time bomb than most guys in the top 20 starting pitchers. This is coming off of a trade that I made in my home league where I'm absolutely going for it - Will Smith, Jordan Lawlar, Bryce Rainer, and Geraldo Perdomo - that already looks really bad with how Joe Ryan struggles in the second half. I still think he'll be relatively fine for the rest of the year and probably will bounce back around fantasy playoff time but I'm not 100% confident that he will be an upper-echelon starter after 2027.
JD on Kade Anderson (Aug 20, 2026): Kade Anderson gets the call! He is universally considered a top 10 prospect and he is number 1 in a couple of different places. He has absolutely dominated AA this year with a 1.06 ERA over 93 innings and a 40% K rate. What should we expect from him for the rest of the year? I don't think he has any innings concerns so I would expect him to be able to make 6-8 starts through the end of the season and be a big contributor in the fantasy playoffs. One of those starts might come at Coors so we may want to bench him there but everywhere else he should be a bona fide, no question, plug-and-play SP. It's pretty incredible that he is able to do this without really premium velocity. It's a fast ball that really only touches 97 on the highest end but has incredible shape due to the carry he is able to generate. It's very similar to how Bryan Woo was able to succeed with an elite fastball due to his elite shape but Kade Anderson is doing it from the left side with just as good (if not better) command. I'm typically conservative when it comes to minor league pitching so I'm probably lower on him than most but a couple of really solid starts will catapult him higher in my rankings. He could easily be a top 50 dynasty asset heading into 2026 if he excels in his first taste of big league action. Saturday's start will be must watch TV!
