Happy Monday, Razzball faithful!
Is there any better feeling in the fantasy baseball realm than picking up a Starting Pitcher on draft day that you just know is going to outperform his cost?
That $1 pick at the end of the auction draft to round out your rotation. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Happy post-Mother's Day, folx! That's like the 25% mark of the MLB season, if you're keeping track. Myself, I'm not really keeping track because I'd rather be playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Did you know that JKJ doesn't like that game? Can you believe his lack of culture? When you become a writer of imaginary baseball content in the future, you too can take knocks at your internet besties to start your articles. Just don't knock Truss, or he'll insert pictures of Bartolo Colon into your byline. Which, to be fair, would be very Razzball. Happy Mother's Day from your pal, Bartolo.
Let's get you some new players!
Last week, I dropped my top 150 hitters for the rest of the season. By all accounts, it went over pretty well. Together, we saw a number of players come in ranked higher than our preferences, and some were ranked lower than our eyeballs tell us. Please, blog, may I have some more?
My prospect writer and your prospect writer, sittin’ by the fire, your prospect writer say Elko gonna set my fantasy roster on fire. Talkin’ hey now (hey now), hey now (hey now), Elko, Elko, Elko ahem, he’s a jock-but-how-mo FAAB would ya spend on him? Please, blog, may I have some more?
I don’t have a whole lot to say in the way of introduction this week. But, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. If there are four female readers…maybe ONE mom? Also, Happy Mother’s Day to YOUR mom, for letting you eat Cheetos and live in the basement, give her a special treat today. Please, blog, may I have some more?
It’s Mother’s Day which is a time to honor the women who raised us, fed us, and maybe even reminded us to set our fantasy lineups before Sunday brunch. As we near the summer heat, it’s the perfect time to reassess your roster and see which players are ready to blossom, which are wilting, and who might need a little tough love (just like momma gave us). Whether you are surging up the standings or clinging to hope like a spaghetti-stained Little League jersey, this week’s Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the 2025 fantasy baseball season are just the present you need. Because nothing says “I appreciate you, Mom” like benching that slumping outfielder she’s never heard of. Let’s dig in and see what the rest of the season holds.
Last week’s article had some mixed results, but we went with a risky bunch of streamers. That’s more likely to happen at this point of the season because the waiver wires have been picked bone dry. There always tend to be three major spots to thrive on the waiver wire. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Graduated from Stash List #2: Horton, Can You Hear Me?: Cade Horton, Coby Mayo
1. Diamondbacks SS Jordan Lawlar (22, AAA)
In addition to slashing .340/.417/.597 with six home runs and 13 stolen bases, Lawlar is further refining his plate skills, striking out at a 17.4 percent and drawing a 9.3 percent walk rate over his last month. Please, blog, may I have some more?
All of the buzz in the baseball blogosphere this week has been over the strike zone adjustments that were revealed in this report from The Athletic in which the league is dealing with the fallout of how umpires are being graded on zone calls. Please, blog, may I have some more?
We are roughly one-quarter of the way through this baseball season and a week does not pass without a frustrating amount of IL stints. I have teams on the NFBC with entire benches littered with red IL stints. There is nothing more painful than not having a fantasy IL for the real-life IL but it does make setting my lineups a whole lot easier. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yankees outfielder slash phenom slash heartthrob slash extraterrestrial Jasson Dominguez had himself a career night Friday with a three home runs and seven runs batted in including a grand slam in the eighth inning that put the Yankees up ten runs. Please, blog, may I have some more?
