The only real poor man here is anyone who drafted Adley Rutschman these past two seasons (me). He is consistently a top-10o pick yet incapable of tapping into any upside or even replicating his career-high 2022 season. That year was great (for a catcher) with 20 home runs, 84 runs, 80 RBI, and a .277 batting average. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Happy Saturday, Razzball faithful!
It’s your old buddy MarmosDad back again to fill in for Dan Pants’ Daily News and Notes from the Friday night round-up. I hope you’re not getting too sick of me yet!
Speaking of getting sick of people (sick segue!), Please, blog, may I have some more?
With the All-Star break this week, I figured now was a good time to look back at the first half of the season and see what I got right and what I got wrong when it comes to who is and isn't an up-and-coming dynasty player.
To be honest, I still feel pretty good about the majority of the players I have talked about the last three and half months. But a few players have not lived up to the expectations I had for them entering the season or for what I expected out of them the rest of this year. Are these players going to rebound, or should I admit that I was just flat out wrong? Guess you will have to read and find out.
I will admit, this is a bit of a long read, but looking back on the good and the bad should be a slow journey. So go grab a cold beverage and hearty snack and then settle in.
In honor of the actual break in the middle of the Major League Baseball season, I thought I’d take my own little break from scouring the bottom of the free agent barrel for some deep league morsels, and take more of a general look towards the fantasy baseball future.

Welcome to the 2nd “Half” of the 2025 season. I put half in quotations because we are actually 59.5% through the season, MLB teams have played 1,446 games, and only have 984 games left on the schedule (assuming they all get played). Please, blog, may I have some more?
How’s everyone doing without baseball every day? I’m doing great! I walked into a Jersey Mike’s and told them a story about a Mike I knew from Jersey who owed me money, and told them I wouldn’t be paying for my sub. Please, blog, may I have some more?
By this point in the season, the waiver wire has been foraged repeatedly, so to find help, we’ll need to look deep. Below are three deeper league options that may be able to help, even where you have needs in shallower leagues.
In our 99th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer open by discussing the All-Star happenings along with the latest MLB injuries and transactions. Then we overview the upcoming release of 2025 Topps Chrome, hitting shelves everywhere on July 23.

Happy All-Star Break, Razzball faithful!
Well, we made it! The All-Star break is here, and it’s a good time to check in on our Top 100 Starting Pitchers to see which ones are performing well enough to be named to their respective All-Star teams. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Off the top, I feel compelled to say that, prospect-wise, I love SS Kayson Cunningham. It’s an unrequited, non-romantic love, just fyi, but he’s the guy I’m walking away with after draft night if I’m anywhere outside the top three or so.
Oh hey, during the brief but effective pre-game show, Carlos Collazo says Cunningham is his favorite hitter in the draft. Fast hands. Smooth swing. Great energy. Models himself after Lindor. Was Team USA’s shortstop. Let’s get it.
Happy All-Star break, everyone! Hope you’re enjoying the restful week, or at the very least are spending it staring at all your Razzball Commenter Leagues rosters and wondering what went wrong. Just me? Despite no baseball scores, we still have lots of stats to cover from the past week, and it’s a good time to check in on our season long leaders. Please, blog, may I have some more?
