White Sox LHP Noah Schultz (22) made his major league debut on Tuesday night, allowing three earned runs in 4.1 innings with four strikeouts and four walks at home against the first-place Rays. He’ll head to Sacramento for his next start before facing the Nationals at home in his third major league outing. That’s the place to start him for the first time, I suspect, if you’ve got him on your fantasy teams.

When I think of boring players in fantasy baseball, I think of guys who are AL or NL-only roster fillers. Guys who get at-bats, but very little in the counting stats department. Guys with much more value in real baseball than in the fantasy realm. For me, when it comes to guys like that, in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week, we talked about some hotter starts. Well, guys, not all starts are created equal. All of these guys were expected to do well and drafted in the top 100 in most leagues. Guess what? They’re not doing well. Who should we worry about? Read this prospects piece first. There is hope! Also, go ahead […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Reid Detmers (7 IP, 0 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 3.18) pitched a gem vs. the Yanks. One small aside. One tiny note on that. One teensy, weensy assist that he received from Aaron Boone betting against the Yankees on Polymarket. I mean, I can only guess, since he benched […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We are into week four, and before things get too out of hand, I wanted to have a little chat about pacing ourselves through this grueling baseball season. No, this is not a PSA reminding you to mix a glass of water into your whiskey drinking (but do that too). This is about pacing your […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?OK, we now have about 40% more data than we did last week when I looked at early-season OF booms and busts. There were some player requests in the comments and some (100% justified) mockery about one of my busts as he went off. Reverse Jinxes really work! It’s high time we revisit this and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?April baseball is already delivering chaos, breakouts, and plenty of head-scratching performances, and this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast dives into it all. We kick things off with a wave of call-ups and injuries shaking up rosters across the league, from intriguing debuts like Noah Schultz and Sam Antonacci to the latest IL […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?You ever not roster a guy who gets hit super hard and go on a schadenfreude journey around all your fantasy leagues searching for who rosters a certain guy or are you normal? Yesterday, I saw Garrett Crochet went 1 2/3 IP, 10 ER, ERA at 7.58, and I went league hopping. “Ooh, he has […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! I’ll admit that I am fully in on the traditional ‘nerd/geek’ stereotype activities that define said labels. Oh, really, MarmosDad? You mean the guy who writes Fantasy Baseball articles self-identifies as a nerd? Ok. Touché. Did I play a musical instrument in high school? Perhaps. Have I been guilty of playing […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In the world of fantasy baseball, we are inundated with data. Those of us who enjoy the data have a much better chance of becoming consistently competitive in this game. Eventually, we have to learn how to predict player breakouts or collapses so that we can take advantage of them. Perhaps instinct will allow us to make those predictions to some extent, but probably not to compete with other really good fantasy players. To do that, we likely have to get comfortable with the parsing of the data.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week, we took a look at how infield rankings had shuffled around since the start of the season. This week, we turn our attention toward how things are currently looking in the outfield. While we do have more data to work with than we did a week ago, we’re still talking very small sample […]
