Last week we covered why you should join an RCL, so this week let’s start covering what to do once you’re in there. To be honest, this has all been covered somewhere on the site over the years, most often by Rudy. Please, blog, may I have some more?
On this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, B_Don asks last year’s LABR winner, Grey Albright, about his top 40 outfield rankings. Outfield is full of great players so how do we balance wanting every outfielder with filling out a lineup. We talk about the players that we like above ADP that we’ll reach for to make sure they end up on our rosters. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Luis Gil won’t throw for six weeks with a lat strain, so went into the not-too-distant-past in my Wayback Machine to see who else had lat strains and how long those pitchers were out. Found one pitcher with Alfred E. Neuman on it that had a caption, “What, me thirsty?” Please, blog, may I have some more?
Happy Monday, Razzball faithful!
Welcome to MARCH! The calendar flipping over means it’s excitement time for us fantasy baseball enthusiasts!
Spring Training games have begun to give us the smallest sample sizes to analyze or, at the very least, to acknowledge. Please, blog, may I have some more?
When I first came to Truss with the idea for an all-in-one, lightning round between myself and my ego and my id and my super-intelligent idea-go (I think that's what it's called), he was super-psyched. At least, that's what I assume the [thumbs up] emoji means. Then he asked if I knew enough to make it longer than one paragraph. Very funny, Mr. Truss. Say that three times fast now and then tell me who has the better user name. ENYWHEY.
It's fantasy baseball draft season. My home dynasty auction league with Jakkers finished on Saturday morning (I got Roki Sasaki for $40), a bunch of LABR and Tout Drafts finished last week (you should see Truss' team, it's delightful), and TGFBI and RazzSlam start this next week. A bunch of y'all are probably in the midst of drafting or about to do some crazy March Madness pick 'em to determine draft order (like Coolwhip's home league, "SuperNuts", which I just joined). In the moment of the draft, it can be hard to Google the hell out something real quick in 90 seconds before your draft timer is up. "Oh shizz, I forgot about Dre" you say as you write a joke millenials will maybe understand, only to realize via Razzball player universe search that there are no MLB players named Dre this year. Good one, EWB. ENYWHEY part deux.
If you need to bookmark a page for advice during draft season, consider this one.
In Luis Robert Jr.‘s favor, when I was typing the title up, I wrote Luis Robert Hr. It must be a good sign that I slipped up and changed Jr. to Hr. That’s where the positives are gonna have to end. Please, blog, may I have some more?
RazzSlam 6 drafts kick off in a few short days. Are you ready to dominate this Points-based, best ball league? Did you even know this was a Points league? Well, it is. Lucky for you, I’m here to help.
Before we get to the data, how about that logo? Please, blog, may I have some more?
Welcome back to another foray into the Top 100 hitters for the 2025 fantasy baseball season. Last week, we covered the first few rounds and the top 20 hitters in our draft rankings. This week, we dive into the players with slightly wider variations in their potential outcomes to close out the top 40 hitters. Digging into this part of the draft is like ordering your favorite coffee: you know you’re getting good value with your medium latte, but every once in a while, the barista goes rogue with an extra shot of espresso, giving you more than you bargained for. Terrible analogies aside, this part of the draft should still provide reliable value. However, if you’re not careful, you might be reaching beyond a player’s true ability. Buckle up, grab that medium latte, and let’s break down the top 40 hitters for the 2025 fantasy baseball season.
Welcome back everyone! After weeks of counting down the top dynasty players starting at No. 400, this is the week when the final 25 players are revealed.
It's been a long journey, but a fun one. But the end is here so let's look at the breakdown and then get to the rankings.
Not surprising, the largest group of players fall in the Age 20-24 range with 12 this week. On the other end, the 30-year-old and up group, I still have four players making my top 24. But when you see who those four players are, you shouldn't be surprised to see them here.
And if you have been wondering where all the top outfielders have been, well, you found them. Twelve outfielders make my final top 25 players, followed by four shortstops. This shouldn't be too surprising as the top athletes are playing at short or in the outfield.
Age of Players
Age 20-24 – 12
Age 25-29 – 9
Age 30+ – 4
Position Breakdown
SP – 3
1B – 1
2B – 1
SS – 4
3B – 3
OF –12
IF/OF – 1
Anyway, enough small talk. Let's get to the rankings.
March just began and I am already sick of the injury train that is rolling. Luckily, we have avoided significant issues but those are inevitable. Sports are not kind to players’ bodies. We in the fantasy community should be ever grateful for the talents we witness daily. Please, blog, may I have some more?
