In reality, it’s probably a little too early to start looking seriously toward next season, but that’s what fantasy degenerates do. On the serious side, thinking through where players are likely to be picked this coming year compared with where they were picked this last year is an extremely valuable exercise in terms of finding potential value to profit from next year. If we can predict an approximate ADP for certain players, we can already determine if those players are going to be interesting to us based on cost. Fantasy leagues are won through the simple act of getting more value for a pick than the ADP would suggest.

In our 104th episode, Mike Couillard is joined by Brent Hershey (@brenthershey.bsky.social?) of BaseballHQ (@baseballhq.com) to talk about First Pitch Arizona, an annual fantasy baseball conference that happens each year at the Arizona Fall League.

Bubba….just killed a man (with his fastball)
Put a fastball against his head, pulled the trigger, now he’s dead!
Bubba….ooh weeee oooh, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away (passed ball, passed ball)
Bubba!!! OOH…didn’t mean to make you cry (by dropping you for Charlie Morton because I needed a streamer)
If I’m not back again on waivers to pick you up by your call-up date tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters (for 50% of my teams are dead in the water as we head into the last month)

BUBBA BIA BUBBA BIA! Please, blog, may I have some more?

These days are reserved for the true cheapskates. If a minor leaguer is good enough to stress the pricing mechanisms in place to suppress his salary, the cheapskate team is obligated to keep him on a minor league contract as long as embarrassingly possible. How can you not be romantic about Baltimore promoting Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo on back-to-back days just after crossing the invisible barrier between trying to win games and trying to spend as little as possible for as long as possible. Or perhaps it was pure coincidence that they were both ready for the next challenge on the same weekend just in time to preserve their rookie status for 2026. It could happen. 

We’re going to be short and sweet this week since your Razzball Commenter Leagues host is currently on vacation with the fam.  I’m bumping around Grey’s old stomping ground, taking in all the Jersey shore has to offer.  I have just returned from enjoying some frozen custard from Kohr’s and managed to fit in a pork roll breakfast sandwich this morning.  Please, blog, may I have some more?

Oh look, the service time deadline mysteriously passed… and suddenly, every top prospect is ready for the bigs! What a coincidence!

In this episode, we dive into the post-deadline flood of promotions across the league. Baltimore calls up top prospect Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers, who’s been cruising in Triple-A. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful!

It was a busy few days for your favorite Roto-Writing Dad, so I contemplated taking the week off.

Instead, I switched up this week’s format so we could still get some information out and (hopefully) give you fantastic fantasy followers a smidge of entertainment in the process. Please, blog, may I have some more?
