Congratulations readers, if you're still here and not thinking about football season starting up soon, I can only assume that means you're still in the running for a fantasy baseball championship. By this point in the season most of the hot waiver names have long since been scooped up so we have to dig a little deeper. Time to turn over a few rocks, shake a few trees, and see who we can find to help you for the season's home stretch.

They called up Stone Garrett (2-for-3). Mean's while, Corbin Carroll remains a stone's throw away. What's that all about? This guy may be Stone, but it's still Rock and Carroll to me! Garrett's numbers are goofy, and goofy is good. 28/15/.278 in 385 ABs should definitely get the berries tingling. Here's what Prospect Itch has said, "(Diamondbacks') AAA numbers are always inflated, but Garrett’s plus power and .375/.430/.764 slash line look good enough to mix in with that lineup, at least. Garrett’s a guy with big raw power, who gains a little value in an environment where it’s harder to clear the fence. He’s looking at near-term playing time and has enough speed to help us in roto leagues if he gets the time. If only I had time to beat up Grey." Dude, cmon! In an NL-Only league, I'm absolutely interested. In mixed leagues, I'm kinda wait-and-see for now, but that could change very quickly. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
If you came here looking for the next 25 players in the Top 100, I hope you won’t feel misled. I’m planning for that to be a monster Sunday post with all 100 write-ups in the same place. There’s so many balls in play right now around the game that taking two weeks to snapshot-rank the top 100 leaves some stones unturned in the interim.  Dodgers OF Josue De Paula (17, DSL) and Cubs SS Pedro Ramirez (18, CPX) might sneak into the next set, or maybe I’d build a just-missed article around them, but I’d rather name them here than feel pressure to squeeze them in because the pick-up clock ticks quickly on big-time talents. Same goes for Red Sox OF Miguel Bleis (18, CPX). Might be late already in some of your leagues. Can’t let it get any later. I have 37 names in my forever-growing, haven’t-featured-yet list, aka my writing/researching/following queue. It’s the place I store every player I come across that could or should be discussed here, so it’s always kinda crowded in there. That’s why the beat works, I think, when it’s really humming. I’m not just opening a blank screen when it’s Go time. I’m collecting and following and selecting pop-up names every waking hour of the day. (I hope that’s an exaggeration but can’t verify). How many men is too many to be thinking about on a daily basis? It’s not for me to say, but it is time to clear the top of the list.  

Hey There! Welcome back and hope everyone is having a great week. School is back in session for a lot of kids and football is starting up soon so the fall season will be upon us before we know it. This is a great time to make those under-the-radar pickups since half of the league is turning their attention to other things especially if they are buried in the standings. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Happy Wednesday, Razz-fam! I hope you all had a great start to the week and that your DFS lineups have been full of happiness (and Pasquantinos)! Today’s SPs are similar to the last few Wednesdays. A couple of chalk plays, some mid-level arms that could produce some good results, and a minefield of chaos with rookie starters and/or underperforming hurlers (that also might make you hurl if you play them today).  Please, blog, may I have some more?

[brid autoplay="true" video="1073252" player="13959" title="2022%20Razzball%20Fantasy%20Football%20Draft%20Kit%20WR's" duration="146" description="2022 Razzball Fantasy Football Draft Kit highlighting Wide ReceiversFave: Mike Williams (:23)Flier: Chase Claypool (1:03)Fade: Tyreek Hill (1:45)" uploaddate="2022-08-11" thumbnailurl="https://cdn.brid.tv/live/partners/9233/snapshot/1073252_th_1660177785.jpg" contentUrl="//cdn.brid.tv/live/partners/9233/sd/1073252.mp4" width="480" height="270"] It's actually as in Brett "Beatty" -- not "Batty," because I know in your head, you see Brett Baty and think Batty. Oh, yeah, I know what is going on in your head. You're thinking I also pronounced it Brett "Batty." Wrong, Slick Rick, the Ruler! I'm in your head, but you're not in my head! In my head, I like to pronounce Brett Baty's last name "Bat-Why," and with a flourish like it's Pad Thai. I'll tell you Bat-Why! Bat-Why because just last week he landed on Itch's top 25 prospects for dynasty leagues, where he said, "Brett Baty has no business in AA. He’s repeating the level after posting a 118 wRC+ in 40 games last year, and he’s slashing .355/.427/.655 with eight home runs in his last 26 games. Who’s in charge of this stuff? What’s happening here? This is dumb, so I think somehow Grey's behind it." Okay, not cool. Bat Why's numbers at Double-A ended up 19 HRs, .312/.406 in 89 games, as he was finally promoted to Triple-A after Itch's insistence, and he's continued to hit there too. The Mets need a third baseman with Eduardo Escobar IL'd and Baty is being called up. I Bat-Why'd on all my teams where I too need a third baseman. He could be the last big call-up. By the why, who doesn't need a 3rd baseman? The one team who drafted Jo-Jo-Ram in your league? Cool, not me, which is why I Bat-Why'd and that's Bat-Because. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

What’s poppin, Razzpimples? Bullpen update time!

Clap your hands? I'll accept it. (Was that ever in doubt?) The real question everyone should be asking is, if Ian Happ was reading this (lol) would he actually clap? I mean, I would hope so, since no one else can really clap. Well, except for someone else named Ian Happ, which I consider rare, much like me having a truncated meandering, but it is what it is. But at least this specific Ian Happ, the Happ we're focusing on, has had an interesting baseball season thus far. And by interesting I mean that Happ has seemingly both taken a step forward and a step back from last season, and we're here to find out if this is actually good or actually bad.
