Prospect News: 2023 Dynasty Crush Team or Grab An Ale, Man

September 17, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 12 Comments

by: The Itch

Baseball TwitterX was peppered with Prospect Crush lineups last week, and while I’m not sure I could articulate the definition of “crush” in this context, I thought the idea was interesting enough to build an article around as we near the tail end of the minor league season. I mean I almost dropped my own squad into Elon Musk’s private hype site before I realized I was pouring a lot of time into generating content for everyone’s favorite space invader.

Let's get down to business and check in on the pitcher projections for the rest of the season in points leagues. Points were calculated based on the criteria below and taken from the Steamer/Razzball Rest of season projections, same as in previous versions of this list.

FanDuel: Gallens Of Fun

May 1, 2021 | DFS, Fanduel |

by: MattTruss

I think I’ve lost count of the number of times I have advocated for streaming starters against the Rockies on the road for DFS and season long purposes.  It’s always nice when the bots confirm this bias.  As Rudy astutely pointed out the other day, the Stream-O-Nator gets a little excited when the Rox are on the road.  The SON has Zac Gallen ($9,000) as the top pitching option on the main slate, not Blake Snell, not Brandon Woodruff and not Dustin May.  Do I think it’s safe to start Gallen over May in your cash games, no, but I will be loading my GPP lineups with Gallen and praying it hits.  Gallens of galleons!

Top 100 Starting Pitchers: Week 3

April 19, 2021 | Top 100 Starting Pitchers | 41 Comments

by: everywhereblair

I was gonna write a big intro with fanfare and fireworks and 19 different synonyms for "Rocktoberfest" but I'm staring at a 3,000-word article and I know y'all have spring fever. I really hope it's not Covid. ENYWHEY. Let's forgo the comedic intro and get deep into the pitcher landscape, which is rocky and tumultuous as if a meteor landed and blew everything up. Also, I talk about Robbie Ray's tight pants. Come, meet me after the jump!

Top 10 Atlanta Braves Prospects for 2021 Fantasy Baseball

October 4, 2020 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects | 5 Comments

by: The Itch

Atlanta flew right over Milwaukee like a cross-continental flight, and their number one prospect played a huge role in the two-game sweep. Ian Anderson is just the latest in a long line of rookies who’ve lifted the team to three straight postseasons. Among the handful of teams who can claim Best Build in baseball, Atlanta’s can be matched by only the Dodgers and Rays.

Top 100 Starting Pitchers: Week 8

September 14, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Starting Pitchers | 20 Comments

by: everywhereblair

Hard to believe, but my first season as a baseball analyst here at Razzball is almost at an end! For athletes, that means they're leaving the bubble soon. Us fantasy writers? We're all bubbled-up to protect from the dreaded Piranhavirus. Oh, you don't know what that is? See, we're so forward thinking here at Razzball, we're already sequestered away for the next pandemic. You may be asking, "How does the Razzbubble work?" Well, future victims of piranhas, let me show you my notes from earlier this summer when I bubbled up.

Two Bombs Projected From Up In Jeimer

September 11, 2020 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 117 Comments

by: Grey

"Jeimer real boy," says Jeimer Candelario, as his nose, labeled with Louisville Slugger's insignia, grows. Gepetto clears his throat and sits Jeimer down for a heart-to-heart. "Jeimer, I saw you went 5-for-6, 2 RBIs with your 6th and 7th homer in yesterday's doubleheader." Jeimer tells him again, "Jeimer a real boy." Jeimer's nose-bat grows a little bit more. Gepetto looks at Jeimer's stats from the last week, "Wow, three homers in four games, and hitting near-.400 in the last seven." Jeimer, losing his temper, restates, "Jeimer real boy!" Gepetto shrugs, "Works for me," and Gepetto whittles Jeimer's nose into a club, and applies pine tar to its tip. So, Jeimer Candelario has been one of the hottest nose-bats in the leagues, recently. Wasn't entirely by design when I benched Nelson Cruz in one league for Jeimer Candelario, but it actually has worked out better than planned. Jeimer will also be in the Buy column later today. To read it right now, join our Patreon. It's $5, the cost of 15 minutes on a NYC parking meter. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Brewers And Burnes Give Tigers The Third Degree

September 10, 2020 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 199 Comments

by: Grey

Matthew Boyd (3 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 7.63) is the ultimate poison pill. If I could, I'd hack into my opponent's team and put Boyd on their team, and the crazy thing is they'd prolly thank me because there are a lot of FanBoydz out there who think he's somehow worth owning. Sorry, not just worth owning, but people actively want him. It's a sickness, FanBoydosis. People affected with FanBoydosis, aka FanBoydz, want you to believe there is so much more here. Oh, there could be, but he needs to stop allowing home runs. He goes from an ace to an Ace of Clubbed from start to start with no consistency, but that K/BB is so tantalizing--Hold up! I've been afflicted by FanBoydosis. I'm 250 words into a post about the Brewers and Corbin Burnes (7 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, zero walks, 11 Ks, ERA at 1.99), talking about Boyd. Not sure what they feed the Brewers' pitchers -- hops? -- but Burnes is now throwing his fastball 96 MPH, up from 95, and has completely changed his pitch mix (slider and fastball way less with a cutter and change added). He was essentially a two-pitch pitcher, and now throws four. His 12.7 K/9, 3.8 BB/9 is giving me the feels that I thought I'd get from Woodruff. Is Burnes a number one? Time will tell, but he has the makings. Also, in this game, Jedd Gyorko (2-for-5, and his 6th and 7th homer) went double dong like Jennifer Connelly, and I don't even want to look at the Player Rater to see how much higher Gyorko is than a bunch of guys who I own. My mental health isn't worth it. I get it, it's not Jedd; I'm the Gyorko. Next up, Jacob Nottingham (1-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBIs) hit his 2nd homer. Fun fact! Nottingham was the not very successful spin-off to Mountcastle. Now Orlando Arcia (4-for-6, 3 runs) didn't homer, but four-hit games from Orlando gives Florida Man a good name. Over to Ryan Braun (3-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs) who hit his 3rd homer. Have I mentioned the Brewers scored 19 runs? Flavor Flav through sobs, "Yeah, Boyd." Finally, Tyrone Taylor (4-for-5, 3 runs, 3 RBIs) hit his 1st major league homer. He looks like a Quad-A prospect and sounds like a silent film star. Tyrone Taylor Chaplin-steps into frame, motions that his pockets and skills are empty, then a silent film title card reads, "What about Matthew Boyd?" Not you too, Tyrone! Well, with 19 runs scored, at least I have Keston Hiura. He went 0-for-2 without a run scored?Holy ticker tease! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Heads Up! H2H Categories Strategy Week 7 – Let’s Get Rowdy

September 8, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Head-to-Head Leagues |

by: Richardo

We've reached the home stretch. If your lineup needs a short shot in the arm heading down the stretch, look no further than Samwell Tarly lookalike, Rowdy Tellez (23.9% ESPN, 20% CBS). The Blue Jays' power lefty has been on a tear of late and has made some really impressive gains in the plate discipline department. Tellez has cut his strikeout rate nearly in half thanks to a lowered O-Swing rate and an increased Z-Contact rate. For the year, he sports a .383 wOBA and has managed to hit lefties pretty hard. That's kept his bat in the lineup full time. Just take a look at his Baseball Savant page, it's full of "Red". Tellez currently sits as the 14th ranked first-baseman on the ESPN Player Rater and has provided positive contributions in every category except stolen bases. I was very surprised to see Rowdy as low owned as he was, so scoop him up now and ride the hot hand! Let's take a look at some other pickups to help you down the stretch.

Top 100 Starting Pitchers: Week 7

September 7, 2020 | 2020 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Starting Pitchers | 4 Comments

by: everywhereblair

In the highly lucrative industry that is imaginary sports team management, we here at Razzball are always looking to give you readers the sharpest edge of advantage. I mean, how do we keep up with a provider like Pitching Ninja, whose name literally invokes the finely-honed edges of a ninja star slicing through bats before landing softly in the supple leather of a catchers mitt? Fear not, fearful reader! I have been to cram school, and I have been to Austria, and I have been in dungeons, and I combined all of my knowledge of those places and completely threw it out the window. See, to be sharper than sharp, you gotta think outside the box. When the competition goes sharp, you go -- that's right! -- blocky. I present to you, followers of the Top 100 Starting Pitcher series, the latest in pitching analysis: 8-bit graphics. [caption id="attachment_1937209" align="aligncenter" width="520"] Robbie Ray Demonstrates his elite level of unpredictability[/caption] Let's apply this newfangled technology to our top starting pitchers and see what we can do to help you to fantasy glory!

Stash List Volume 6: Baltimore on the Bubble

September 6, 2020 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects | 15 Comments

by: The Itch

We skipped the list last week and saw some names clear out from Stash List Volume 5. Gavin Lux, Randy Arozarena, Jose Urquidy, Clarke Schmidt, Miguel Yajure, Ian Anderson and Mitch White have all gotten some big league reps and left the cupboard a bit bare.  To further complicate this week’s edition, we have to wonder about the self-image of Baltimore’s Orioles. They’re four games out of a playoff spot with 22 games remaining on the schedule. Our #2 prospect on this week’s list in an Oriole, and I might put more on here next week if they win a little. It’s just Baltimore and Detroit on the AL bubble, and neither seems likely to make the cut. The NL remains a royal rumble.
