Guardians 2B Juan Brito (24) got the call this week to replace the injured Gabriel Arias and picked up a couple hits in his debut. He walked twice as much as he struck out through nine Triple-A games (6:3) and was slashing .314/.405/.457 for Columbus. I’ve long been a believer in Brito’s bat and suspect he’ll carve out a long term role with this opportunity.

Back in 2024, our everything guru around Razzball, Vinwins, managed to nail the exact terminology I was looking for in regards to Stolen Base Streamers. Since then, anytime you grab a guy for your roster looking for a stolen base, it is referred to as a Speed Dial. Not sure it ever made the official […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I come to you this week with a heavy heart. Part of my childhood has died. For years, I would buy in March some sort of baseball preview. Five bucks, and it would fit ever so snugly in the bathroom drawer. This weekend, on a lark, I saw the previews pop up on the magazine […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Somewhere in India, a man builds a shrine the likes of which have never been seen before — 500 rooms, 1,000s of marble columns, 400 acres wide, 80 stories high. It’s tasteful while opulent. It’s to honor his one true love. When his wife comes home, he shows her his masterpiece that he’s built. “Honey, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s very much silly season for our leagues at this point, and will be for a few more weeks. This is when we can have huge swings in the standings based on 2-3 good (or bad) days of stats. So, fear not if you’re off to a slow start. If you have a lot of […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s 8-9 games into the season, that’s almost 6%! High time we rue all the disastrous picks we made and crow about all the winners we nailed. Or rue the ones we missed as those trains leave the station. Of course, I kid. Kind of. Hey, I’m human, and we spend draft season making calls […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The blockbuster call-up and long-term deal for Konnor Griffin is here, and earlier than expected. We are breaking down whether his elite power/speed combo is ready to translate immediately for fantasy managers or if there are still some growing pains ahead. From there, we dig into a handful of early-season pitching pains. Are these just […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Max Scherzer left after two innings with decreased velocity — damn, only 78 more wins to 300 — and then things got worse. This was a rematch of last year’s World Series, and the Dodgers sent Justin Wrobleski (5 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners (4 BBs), 2 Ks, ERA at 4.00) out there to try […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?\Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Well, it’s a good thing that last week’s Top 100 Starting Pitchers article was titled, “Tis The Season For Overreactions”, because I’ve got a DOOZY as the lede this week! But first, let’s set it up. When Cody Ponce signed with the Jays this offseason for 3 years and $30 million, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?But we are so desperate for baseball by the time opening day rolls around that we can convince ourselves that this minute sample is meaningful, so you’ll see plenty of fantasy managers overreacting to player starts. Sometimes, the best response we can have to a fellow manager’s meltdown over a player is, “Is that so?” If we can maintain equanimity in these first few weeks while others around us panic, maybe there is value to be had through trades or, in some situations where managers have really gone on tilt, through the waiver wire.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Draft season is full of hopes and dreams and imagining best-case scenarios. Then the games start, and reality smacks you in the face. Alas. It’s too early to have any drastic changes to the rankings, as the sample size is just way too small. It doesn’t mean that feelings about particular players doesn’t change at all, […]
