Shortstops To Target, 2012 Fantasy Baseball

by: Grey

There’s no Reyes, Tulo or Hanley on this list of shortstops. This list is guys that can be had later in your drafts if you’ve punted shortstop or are still looking for a middle infielder. Look at this as a supplement to the top 20 shortstops of 2012 fantasy baseball. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Shuffling Values: The Shifting Landscapes in OPS Leagues

March 6, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 30 Comments

by: Albert Lang

Traditional, smarishional, am I right?

I mean, long gone are the days when your soon-to-be father-in-law would actually pay you (in sheep, no less) to take his wretched daughter off his hands.

Similarly, Razzballers are becoming masters of their own domains and kicking the traditional 5×5 fantasy baseball game to the curb. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Estimated Dollar Value For Draft Picks/Rounds

March 6, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy | 23 Comments

by: Rudy Gamble

In the NFL, every GM has a cheat sheet to help determine the value of a draft pick. It was started by Jimmy Johnson during his Cowboy heyday and I imagine that every NFL GM has some egghead on staff who has a slightly different value for each draft pick. Please, blog, may I have some more?

1st Basemen To Target, 2012 Fantasy Baseball

March 6, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 154 Comments

by: Grey

I almost didn’t write this post because I don’t think you should be looking for sleeper 1st basemen. It’s a no-no that makes my no-no area shrink. Then I got to thinking and then I started watching Chopped, then I took a nap, then I had a snack, then I remembered I was writing a post about sleeper 1st basemen, but forgot why I didn’t want to write the post in the first place so I wrote it. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Bryan LaHair, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper

March 5, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 75 Comments

by: Grey

Yeah, I like Anthony Rizzo too. I like him better than Bryan LaHair even if LaHair was moussing pitchers all last year. In the PCL, which doesn’t stand for Plutonium Chloride, he hit 38 homers with a .331 average, mashing like his name was Dee Dee Sharp. Please, blog, may I have some more?

OBP, Yeah Razzballers Know Me

March 5, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 62 Comments

by: Albert Lang

On Base Percentage (OBP) is what Skynet created for the Oakland A’s so they could win the World Series and ruin baseball.

Actually, that doesn’t sound quite right. I think OBP is the brew baseball writers’ fermented in a basement to scare Andre Dawson, or it was the reason pitchers feared Jim Rice, thereby making him a Hall of Famer. Please, blog, may I have some more?

It’s Ike, You Know, Valley Fever

March 5, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 126 Comments

by: Grey

When Ike Davis told reporters,”Gag me with a spoon,” red flags were raised. Why was he talking like he grew up in Reseda? It wasn’t the dreaded Valley Fever, was it? Like, oh my god, it might be. Valley Fever, from what I gathered from Google, WebMD and other non-reliable sources, could knock Davis out a week, two weeks, a month, a year or for his career. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Under the Greydar: Wilson Betemit

‘How could anything get past Grey Albright!’ you say in an incredulous tone. It’s true, it is very hard to sneak out from under Grey’s all-seeing ways. He is the fantasy baseball equivalent of the Eye of Sauron, though slightly less malicious. Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Run Down

A lot has been made out of how horrendous the White Sox farm system is, how there’s a sizable gap between them at #30 and the systems ranked ahead of them. Please, blog, may I have some more?

First off, thanks Grey for this opportunity. Second, please be gentle, Razzballers…this is my first time.

I’ve now played in a 12 team yahoo mixed league where we start two at each infield position and five in the OF (LF,CF,RF,OF,OF) for over five years. Please, blog, may I have some more?
