I say something on this week's podcast like, "
Tanner Bibee is coming up any day now," it's quotes like that why the Pulitzer for Podcasts said, "Can we make a special award just for you?" Sure, their special award was called, "The Pulitzer for Saying Something While Saying Nothing." So, the Guards are supposedly calling up Tanner Bibee to start today, and they don't play around with their pitchers, which is something I should remember for next year when I'm between drafting a guy like Gavin Stone and a Guardians' pitching prospect. So, Bibee has a 95 MPH fastball with four pitches. The fastball and 84 MPH slider are the swing-and-miss'ers. His slider was 56% swing-and-miss, which is nuts. His change is kinda bleh and the curve doesn't do much, but setup. He has excellent command, and could be the rookie pitcher prospect call-up of the year. Another Pulitzer award, presumably. Here's what Itch's said, "Bibee’s currently my favorite of Cleveland’s pitching prospects for dynasty purposes in terms of cost vs. value. He’s coming off 73.2 innings in Double-A with a 0.88 WHIP. He allowed just four home runs there and wound up with a 1.83 ERA. He’s good enough to the naked eye that I think he’ll make waves this spring. His 122.2 innings pitched last year sets him up perfectly to step in whenever the
Guardians need help. People still seem to be underrating his physical gifts. At 6’2” 205 lb, Bibee can sit comfortably in the mid-90’s deep into games and has that Cleveland specialty skill of commanding his off-speed pitches. In case you can’t tell from the blurb, I want him everywhere I can get him. And I want to punch Grey everywhere I can." That's not cool! Bibee is worth grabbing in every league. Yes, even in your league. Will he stay up? Hard to say, but worth the flyer. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
