Daily Top-500 Update:

Moving players around in real-time as news/spring training develops

Using a 🚑 emoji to denote current injuries/injury concerns

Recent Drops Down Ranks & Subsequent Risers

  • Adolis Garcia, TEX — Oblique injuries suck and I wouldn’t touch Garcia until we know the severity… it doesn’t sound good. Added Leody Tavares to the backend of the player pool.

  • Jordan Walker, STL — Walker got pulled yesterday with a knee injury of unknown severity. Added speedster Michael Siani to the Top-500.

Added To Ranks

  • Spencer Jones, NYY — Injuries are piling up for the Bombers, and Jones is mashing the crap out of the ball. I’m not sold it happens, but he could break camp.


Player Write-ups Updated Today:

  • James Wood, OF, WAS

  • Spencer Schwellenbach, SP, ATL

You can find the entire set of Top-50 ADP write-ups here, and moved on to subscriber requests from there

Knocked out Vinny Pasquantino, Evan Carter, and Jordan Westburg the other day for subs.

Best place to ask is via Twitter DM @JohnLaghezza, or my email Laghezza12@gmail.com. Hit me up anytime don’t be shy.


How To Wield The Full Power Of The Top-500

Image below, left: Click green “Filter” symbol that looks like a wi-fi icon.

Image below, right: First press “clear”. Then press “(Blanks)” - a checkmark will appear

Image below, left: Then type the position you want to isolate.
Notice when I started typing “OF”, the “Select All…” changed from 21 to 6.
Press “OK”. You can click any combination you’d like

Image below, right: Only the position you asked for will be shown, but because you pressed (Blanks), the other tiers pop up for a much better macro perspective.

Reset back to normal by clicking the green “Filter” symbol again, and “Select All 21”


Underdog Update:

  1. Ran a full Underdog update with all the new on-site ADPs, ready for upload. Available with data sheets.

  2. Moved Manaea, Stanton all injured guys way down — didn’t really punish W.Langford or H.Ramos for obliques …yet.

Instructions to upload my Underdog Ranks:

--Open “Underdog” tab on the datasheet
--Go to FILE -> DOWNLOAD -> DOWNLOAD AS .CSV
--Open underdog dot com and log in
--Go to RANKINGS -> MLB -> MLB 2025 SEASON (we do not want “MLB way too early 2025 season”)
--First go to LIMITS (top right, next to rankings tab) and set all three to 7 (this will keep you from over-drafting any position if you get auto'd)
--Click RANKINGS -> CSV UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD -> CSV UPLOAD
--Choose the file of mine you saved to begin with and click SAVE

That’s it -- as new versions pop up, just repeat the process (or you can shift on your own, then SAVE). Let me know if you have any issues…
