The Mariners gave Colt Emerson $95 million. Now the first thing you might think is, how long can he stay in the minors if they’re paying him that much? That was the 2nd thing I thought. The first thing I thought was, what is his life like in the minors with that much money? Is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I don’t have enough spam, give me the Razzball email newsletter!
Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
What’s up, friends? We’re more than halfway through April, and hopefully your teams are humming along like a well-oiled machine. Unfortunately, “well-oiled machine” does not describe most of my teams, but thankfully, there’s still plenty of time to tinker. (Do remind me in the future to cut back on the draft and holds, though. Looking […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you read my posts regularly, you know by now that I have an aversion to young pitchers. Some of them are outstanding from the start, but the majority need time to learn their craft.
Well, it looks like Jack Leiter has finally learned his craft, turning himself into a pitcher and not just a thrower off the mound. His first taste of the majors in 2024 did not go well. Last season he had his ups and downs, especially during the first half of the season.
But the Rangers stuck with him and the more experience he got, the better he became. The success he had in the second half of the 2025 season has carried over into 2026, making Leiter an up-and-coming dynasty player.
Please, blog, may I have some more?You know the GIF of Antonio Banderas from Assassins where he’s leaning back, exhaling and loving life? If you don’t know, don’t google it, because it’ll live in your head like mine and pop up every time you have a pleasurable moment. I now live in GIFs. Something good? Antonio nodding in joyous rapture. Something […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Respect has always been an interesting concept for me. As a Korean American, I was brought up to always respect my elders and people in positions of authority. In high school, though, I would see older kids punking the younger ones under the guise of the “system.” That’s when it all broke down for me, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Middle Infield tends to produce the most exciting rookies. When you think about it all the way back to Little League, the most athletic players play up the middle. When they can hit as well, that produces an exciting prospect, which leads to an exciting rookie. Now is as good a time as any to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In our 135th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer cover the plethora of new MLB injuries along with a few promotions before analyzing players off to hot starts to determine if the production is sustainable.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Sal Stewart (2-for-4, 6 RBIs and his 6th and 7th homer, hitting .323) is the first time in the history of the Reds that I’ve liked a hitter coming into the year and he’s actually performed well. Matt McLain? More like Matt McLame (wiped out his whole family with that one). TJ Friedl? More like […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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.
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]
