Sometimes you look at a player’s stats and rush to see if he is still available in your league. Meet Kyle Manzardo.

Anthony Volpe, SS, NYY
The Yankees have refused to trade Anthony Volpe no matter the deal. Was that smart or dumb of them?
Evan Reifert, RHP, TAM
Let’s do something a bit different and examine a reliever instead of a starter. The scouts just checked out, but we are still looking at Evan Reifert.
Junior Caminero, 3B, TAM
How does a teenager become known as one of baseball’s top prospects? Meet Junior Caminero.
Cade Povich, LHP, BAL
This past week I posted a Twitter poll asking who my followers would prefer long term: Mason Black or Cade Povich. The results were clear: Let’s see why the results were so clear.
Addison Barger, SS/2B/3B, TOR
What do you do when a player described as a bench piece plays like anything but? Meet Addison Barger.
Nick Frasso, RHP, TOR
When are minor league numbers not to be fully relied upon? When the skills behind the numbers give scouts pause. Meet Nick Frasso.
Kyle Stowers *, OF, BAL
Welcome to the majors, Kyle Stowers. How’d you get here, and what do you bring to the table?
César Prieto, 2B, BAL
A young Cuban national player gets signed by the Baltimore Orioles. Was it a good investment?
Josh Winckowski *, RHP, BOS
Rumor has it that Josh Winckowski will make his major league debut on Sunday, May 29 for a Red Sox double header. Just who is he? Glad you asked…
Yosver Zulueta, RHP, TOR
Sometimes you just have to make a leap into a void of information. Meet Yosver Zulueta.
Cooper Bowman, 2B, NYY
When a player is asked to do something, and then he does that thing very, very well, what do you call him? Cooper Bowman.
Chris Murphy, LHP, BOS
Scouting reports change as results on the field change. Let’s let Chris Murphy illustrate the process before the scouts have updated.
Ceddanne Rafaela, OF/2B/SS/3B, BOS
Saw a bit of a flurry on Twitter about Ceddanne Rafaela yesterday, so let’s see if his hot start to 2022 is anything to draw our attention.
Jordan Groshans *, 3B/SS, TOR
A top prospect who is missing one thing in his skill set that would take him to the next level
JP Sears *, LHP, NYY
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Yankees have another arm…
Jonathan Aranda *, 2B, TAM
This past week saw the Rays make some deals to create more room on their 40-man roster, so they could, in part, add 23-year-old infielder Jonathan Aranda to that 40-man. When a team as loaded as the Rays tries to make room for you, you must be pretty good. Meet Mr. Aranda.
Drew Rom, LHP, BAL
The Orioles have some nice arms in their system. Where does Drew Rom fit in?
Nick Yorke, 2B, BOS
The Red Sox reached for Nick Yorke in the 1st round of the 2020 Draft. Or did they reach?…
Jacob Lopez, LHP, TAM
When prospect hounds look at new names, always in the back of our minds is the hope that we might find our Holy Grail. Let’s see how close Jacob Lopez comes to the mark.
Ian Seymour, LHP, TAM
Drafted in the lost year of 2020, the now 22-year-old Ian Seymour only has 2021 numbers for us to look at. How’s he doing? Hint: He’s a Rays prospect…
Jayden Murray, RHP, TAM
And just who is Jayden Murray? Glad you asked…
Bobby Dalbec *, 1B, BOS
As I write this, 26-year-old Bobby Dalbec is hitting .300/.382/.833 in 34 PA in spring training. He had 92 PA in 2020, and is about to lose prospect status. What do the Red Sox have in this first baseman who looks to open the season batting ninth?
Ryan Mountcastle *, 1B/OF, BAL
24-year-old Ryan Mountcastle had a nice first season in the majors in 2020, but juuust avoided losing rookie eligibility. He should be a regular in the outfield for the Orioles in 2021, and maybe play 1B a little as well. What does the team have in this young player?
Clarke Schmidt*, RHP, NYY
A Top-100 prospect has made it to majors in a strange 2020 season even though he has very little time at AA, but here is Clarke Schmidt. A top 100 guy for my 100th player profile!
