So, a bunch of Razzballers got together for an auction draft at NFBC and I drafted a team that includes Corey Seager, and that’s where the weird begins. “Where the weird begins” also sounds like the title for every subreddit. If you showed me this team prior to me drafting it, I’d say, “Looks like crap, get it out of my face!” Please, blog, may I have some more?

Hello, dear Razzball readers! Although it has been many moons since we last checked in on the college game, my crack staff has been busy analyzing and organizing reports on countless prospects across the sport's lanscape. My crack staff consists of two dogs with ADHD, an eight-month-old infant, my retired neighbor named Bill, and a cardinal that has been endlessly pecking on my window. His name is Jean Claude.  Suffice to say, I have had my work cut out for me. Bill has spent significantly more time woodworking and making homemade canes in his garage than scouting this offseason. Not to mention, he sometimes takes the "crack" in crack staff a bit too literally. As for Jean Claude, well, he still thinks the love of his life is on the other side of the glass windows. He has been relegated to a new social role, Tweeting. The change has been quite unproductive. As for myself, the top-10 prospects for the beginning of the 2025 college baseball season have been completed. It is not a dazzling class, but it isn't shallow, either. Still, as I wrote these breakdowns, I couldn't help but feel that it was one of the weaker top-10s since I started covering college prospects at Razzball in 2020. Sure, Jace LaViolette, Jamie Arnold and Cam Cannarella are awesome, but none of them scream slam-dunk, 1-1 overall to me. And the 8-10 spots could be beefier. Like a Runza. As always, this list is a lot different than the industry consensus and what you'll see elsewhere. These rankings take future fantasy contributions into account, especially a player's ability to assist across multiple statistical categories. So, who is at No. 1 this year, and are there any major surprises? Here's the list:

In our 80th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer are joined by Erik Halterman of Rotowire, to discuss the start(?) of spring training and the latest MLB moves, then preview the NL Central teams. For each team in the division, we each pick a player that for fantasy purposes we would buy, sell, and pick to click. Please, blog, may I have some more?

The best 2025 fantasy baseball team is the friends we made along the way. Also, the title is hyperbole. What was I gonna say, “The Mostly Kinda Good Fantasy Baseball Team?” You’ll get over your scoffing, you freakin’ scoffer! This is the best 2025 fantasy baseball team that I can put together when drafting from my top 100 for 2025 fantasy baseball and top 500 for 2025 fantasy baseball. Please, blog, may I have some more?

With three first-year-player drafts behind me and one underway as I type, fantasy baseball is officially back in the Itch household. I covered my Razz 30 draft in Volume one and will share the results of two 15-team league drafts in this article.  I’ll start with the Ditka Sausage Razznasty League, a daily lineups league that’s been going for about seven years. I’ve made some good moves in this league and just as many bad ones because I feel the race against time most acutely here, meaning the crunch to maximize my daily lineup drives a lot of my decision making. I say all this to explain in part why I didn’t pick until the fourth round in this draft. I did still have my third round pick (3.43), but I moved back a few spots to add a fourth-rounder in 2026 and slide up from 5.67 to 5.61 in the fifth round this year. 

What’s poppin, Razzpimples?

New season, but same ol’ JKJ, with my vivid-image-evoking greeting to all you Razzballers. I thank you kindly for choosing to spend time with my stream-of-consciousness ramblings on all things bullpens in the world of fantasy baseball.

Like clockwork, we enter a new year of baseball where the bullpen world hath been shooketh. Please, blog, may I have some more?
