Razzball Patreon members receive our weekly podcast where Grey cackles about the funniest news stories we’ve found over the past week, plus you get that warm fuzzy feeling of supporting your favorite fantasy sports site in all the land.
Grey Albright and Billy Hurley are back for another episode of the Patreon podcast. Whether you are signed up for Patreon for the podcast or the rankings, come listen in as guest host B_Don walks the guys through some of the best, "Not, Not News" out there. Starting with a story about an Oklahoma law maker that is trying to answer an important question, when is Bigfoot hunting season?
With all of his many ideas, we're all surprised Grey wasn't the person who invented airbag jeans. Continuing with original ideas, Panera has found the answer for all the winter iced coffee drinkers, bread bowl hand warmers! Why didn't we think of that? The next story, we all agree was not a good idea as a man has turned himself into a black alien through a series of physical modifications.
We could only look at the photo of that guy so long, so, we wrap up the podcast on a lighter note as Kraft as announced that they are making a special pink, candy flavored mac and cheese for Valentine's day. I'm sure your sweety wouldn't throw you out of the house for making pink Kraft mac and cheese (don't do it, it's a trap).

Marco Gonzales — Deal or No Deal?
February 1, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Baseball | 4 Commentsby: everywhereblair
There's a fair chance that a bunch of you readers out there are sitting upon a dragon's horde-sized pile of gold right now after the GameStop madness of the last week. So, in the spirit of taking something that people don't consider valuable and hyping it to the moon, I'm bringing you my latest Deal or No Deal article on yet ANOTHER Seattle Mariners pitcher. Wait! Don't unfollow us! Remember the good times when Randy Johnson and F-Her were your Mariners stars? Take that level of excitement and then tamp it down to "medium reggae" while you get ready to draft your star pitcher at pick 150: Marco Gonzales.

Not usually my style, but we're taking a break from the 2021 fantasy baseball rankings for a day because of the big trade between the Rockies and Cardinals (and a shizzton of other moves). All the 2021 fantasy baseball rankings, including pitchers, are already up on our Patreon.
So, the Rockies are trying to lose, and they’re a stupid franchise. That is a bad combination. Like burning down your house for insurance money after letting your insurance lapse. The Rockies gave away their marquee player and $50 million. If this is a rebuild, and Austin Gomber is the start of–I’m sorry. I can’t even say Austin Gomber with a straight face. The Cards got Arenado for a Gomber pile of garbage. Bud Black is actually the perfect imbecile to run that team. So, on Arenado’s fantasy value, well…*swallows*…okay, so…*collects thoughts* Yeah, I moved him down in my rankings.
Arenado was traded to the Cards, and I can’t possibly tell you he’s as safe to draft in St. Louis. I don’t think the park change is as dramatic as some are making it out to be. I don’t think he’s suddenly done. I know his road/away splits, but as said many times before, guys are better at home. Even guys who aren’t in Coors. You’re staying at home, you’re surrounded by family and friends, you’re seeing your wife–Wait, are these reasons to enjoy being at home? Right, yes, I kid! Home numbers are always better. Familiarity with the park, just being more comfortable. It’s always like this; there’s stats to back it up, don’t make me pull them out. So, Arenado might not have been great on the road when he played in Coors, but you can’t just say his new home numbers will be his old road numbers. Doesn’t work like that. Trying to see the difference between him and, say, Jose Abreu, though, has become nearly impossible and Abreu isn’t a top 20 overall pick, and neither is Arenado now. I moved Rafael Devers up to the top 20 for 2021 fantasy baseball; Arenado dropped about ten overall spots (but only one spot in the top 20 3rd basemen), and I lowered his projections a bit. His new projections: 88/32/106/.279/1 in 592 ABs.
For what it's Wuertz, here's out Steamer projections pre-trade: 103/35/103/.286, 4th best 3B, ~20th overall. Here's him post-trade: 86/29/85/.256; 8th-10th 3B, ~110TH overall. Um, that's kinda gross. And, to add fire to the inferno whooshing around the Torenado, look at projections of Austin Riley vs. Nolan Arenado:
Anyway, here's what else I saw this offseason for fantasy baseball:
