Rob Neyer put Torre’s potential lineup as this: (S) Rafael Furcal, SS (R) Russell Martin, C (L) Andre Ethier, RF (R) Manny Ramirez, LF (L) James Loney, 1B (R) Matt Kemp, CF (S) Orlando Hudson, 2B (R) Casey Blake, 3B That, folks, is not a long shot.

Shortstops To Target, 2009 Fantasy Baseball
March 5, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 28 Commentsby: Grey
There’s no Reyes, Rollins or Hanley on this list of shortstops. This list is guys that can be had later in your drafts if you’ve punted shortstop or still are looking for a middle infielder. Look at this as a supplement to the top 20 shortstops of 2009 fantasy baseball list. If you’re feeling especially […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? A-Rod & Hip Used in Sentences For First Time
March 5, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 67 Commentsby: Grey
Hey, I’m drafting my fantasy baseball team on March 4th and I got the first pick! Woo-Hoo! I got A-Rod! Sorry, random italicized voice, you’re going to need to rethink some things. There’s some injury news. The 2009 fantasy baseball rankings have been updated. A-Rod is no longer your number one fantasy baseball pick for […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?While we at Razzball are content toiling within the modest confines of fantasy baseball blogdom, we occasionally like to flex our journalistic muscles and take on a challenging interview. Our interview subject is Matthew Berry – the Director of Fantasy Sports at ESPN. His career has taken him from stand-up comedy to Hollywood where he […]

March 3, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 28 Commentsby: Grey
The guys on this list are going after the 1st ten rounds in your 2009 fantasy drafts. But, for the LP, I would absolutely draft Utley, Phillips, etc. if they fell to me at the right spot. This is a supplement to the top 20 2nd basemen of 2009 fantasy baseball. These are 2nd basemen […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Evan Longoria, 2009 Fantasy Breakdown
March 3, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 45 Commentsby: Grey
Is Evan Longoria a 2nd round pick? Grey, me, I seemed to think so when I wrote up my 2009 fantasy baseball, top 20. Or did Grey, me, I get swept away with Evan Longoria like Guy Ritchie in the arms of Madonna circa 1999? Did I lose the ability to rank Evan Longoria like […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Catchers To Target, 2009 Fantasy Baseball
March 2, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 47 Commentsby: Grey
I’m not going to point out Brian McCann or Mauer or any other catchers you or your leaguemates will be looking at in the first 10 rounds. Here are some catchers that I will be targeting at my 2009 fantasy drafts after the top options are gone. I’m also not going to get into the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Josh Hamilton, Overrated
March 2, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Overrated | 42 Commentsby: Grey
I already went over a Josh Hamilton overrated post, but I guess people were off reading his inspirational autobiography, “Baseball Between the Lines.” So I brought out the pirated Photoshop for a quick, “Don’t make me come back there!” Okay, this wonky .jpg is a bastardized Hype Cycle. If you don’t know what a Hype […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s time to take our beginning of the month look at all the major league closers. Some closer battles have not been squared away yet. The Cubs are still holding Gregg over Marmol’s head, the Cards are still reluctant to say Perez, the A’s might split duties between Devine and Ziegler and the Mariners are […]

Please, blog, may I have some more? Rookies for 2009 Fantasy Baseball
February 27, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 33 Commentsby: Grey
All of these rookies are worth grabbing at the right spot, but I wouldn’t reach for any of them. Sorry if that sounds boring, but sometimes Grey needs to instill some right-wing fantasy baseball conservatism into the equation. Longoria, Soto, Tulowitzki, Braun, Michael J. Fox in the first year of Family Ties, etc. panned out. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Fred Lewis, 2009 Fantasy Sleeper
February 26, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 39 Commentsby: Grey
Back in September, I said, “There’s so much to love about Fred Lewis. Let’s see… Power — check! Speed — check! A name that sounds like an 80’s sitcom character — check! I’ll take Fred Lewis in the center square for the win. Alas, Fred Lewis is about to undergo season-ending surgery on a foot […]
