Fire - Jose Peraza There was recently a changing of the guard in Cincinnati. Manager Bryan Price was let go in late April after a disastrous 3-15 start to the season, replaced on an interim basis by bench coach Jim Riggleman. It turns out, this may have been good news for Jose Peraza. Peraza had been struggling while typically floating down around the bottom of the order when Price was around, but Riggleman seems convinced that #2 slot is where Peraza deserves to be. Since taking over, Riggleman has batted Peraza either…

As the calendar flips over into May, Major League Baseball is getting infested with high-upside rookies, especially on the mound. But don't worry, this is a good infestation. A good infestation? Does such a thing exist? Not when it's insect-related, but when the infestation consists of top prospects like Walker Buehler, Gleyber Torres, and Ronald Acuna, I'd consider that a very good infestation. Buehler and Mike Soroka are the first big name pitching prospects to lock up long-term rotation spots, and they lead the way in…

Wait, we already had one Dynasty Dugout article this week. Well, guess what? It's the good ol' two-for-one special this week, folks. That's right, two Dynasty Dugout articles for the price of one.

Don't go getting all excited. I'm not updating my rankings quite yet. That will come around the All-Star break. What I am doing is taking a look at the top minor league pitching prospects to see how they're performing in the minor leagues so far this season. Think of this as one of the appetizers to my mid-season rankings update. The side salad with ranch dressing on the side, if you will. Around this time next month, you'll get your second appetizer, likely some soup, before getting the prime rib of prospect updates in…

The Royals have played 14 games at home so far this season. Do you know how many they've won? Just three.Saturday's 5-2 win over the White Sox reminded me just how great Kelvin Herrera can and could be. Kansas City's closer holds the lowest ERA among all relievers in baseball right now, but since the Royals have scored the fewest runs in the Majors, it's a shame most of it's going to waste in the saves column. Herrera tallied just his fifth save over the weekend, and if you weren't paying attention, I'd forgive you for…
