While Donkey Teeth is away, B_Don makes a call to the ‘pen and @TheProspectItch gets the bullpen cart to give him a ride to the mound. We start by talking about how The Itch has approached prospect rankings and evaluations with no active minor league system.

We discuss the start to the season using some of our leagues to talk about the difference in approaches and waiver wire strategies. AL/NL only leagues are a whole different world from the RCLs.

The Itch discusses how his approach has changed in the last couple years due to differences in the minor league system and how teams are using service time with prospects these days. We continue the prospect discussion by talking about some of the rookie pitchers and hitters that have started the season with their respective teams.

B_Don asks The Itch about the prospects that he expects to see called up next. The Itch drops a couple of bombs on B_Don as they close the show out about some of the game’s top prospects.

The fantasy master lothario himself, Grey Albright, stops by that other Razzball podcast to talk with Donkey Teeth and me. BTW, if you don’t care about the non-sense, you can jump to about the 9 minute mark.

After the opening, we discuss the Nicholas Castellanos suspension for having fun. Grey brings the clouds over Ohtani and rains on everyone’s parade, but DT and B_Don aren’t so easily swayed. Grey mocks B_Don as we talk about the first FAAB run and some very early HR numbers.

We wrap up the show with some roster, ignore, or somewhere in the Grey about Akil Baddoo, Jared Walsh, Donovan Solano, Jonathan India, Yermin Meredes, and we have to get in a mention for one of the podcast OGs, Chris Owings.

B_Don and Donkey Teeth welcome back the Projection Master, Rudy Gamble, to the podcast. The War Room is one of Rudy’s babies (included as part of the Razzball tools subscription), so we ask Rudy about this phenomenal draft companion tool.

We move on talk about some of Rudy’s drafts and how he’s approaching the different events this year. We talk about Rudy’s main event draft, the RazzSlam, and Tout Wars. Why wouldn’t you listen to Rudy talk about his drafting strategy? I learn something every time I talk to Rudy. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a special announcement early on in the show as well.

B_Don and Donkey Teeth are back at the start of the RazzSlam to kick off the contest. We give you a rundown of the league format and the points scoring. Then, we talk about our draft strategy and who we might be targeting in the first few rounds. Hopefully our league mates don’t listen to this, but such is the risk one takes in the world of fantasy baseball drafting.

Donkey Teeth and B_Don are joined by a perennial podcast guest favorite, Tim McLeod of Prospect 365. Every pre-season Tim is kind enough to jump on the podcast to discuss the newest crop of Japanese and Korean league signings across the majors. We ask him to give us the down low on Ha-Seong Kim, Kohei Arihara, Chris Flexen, and Matt Moore. We also ask Tim what he expects from some of the other Asian league signings from recent years like Yusei Kikuchi and Yoshi Tsutsugo.

We then turn our attention to a couple of Tim’s leagues as he recently drafted in the mixed LABR league with our own Rudy Gamble. Plus, Tim has agreed to join the RazzSlam for the first time this season. We start by asking him what he thinks of the RazzSlam and give him the 4-1-1 on the league setup before asking him what his strategy might be. Finally, we wrap up with Tim’s LABR team from his first 4 picks to some of the prospect picks we’ve come to expect from the great Tim McLeod.

B_Don and Donkey Teeth are back after an extended break and we’re ready to talk about some baseball. The biggest Razzball event of the year, the RazzSlam is just around the corner and we’ve brought in Darik Buchar, special guest from Sports Hub Technologies (parent company of the NFBC). We start by asking Darik to give us the rundown on the NFBC offerings for this season, and there’s a game for every price point and game style. We wrap up our NFBC discussion by asking Darik about some of his strategies for the cutline format and the RazzSlam specifically.

After we look at the RazzSlam, we move on to some of the MLB offseason moves. We recap and cover the fantasy impact of the Andrew Benintendi, Franchy Cordero, and Khalil Lee trade. We also discuss a couple of studs moving in Francisco Lindor and Nolan Arenado. Trevor Bauer finally decided on a team and it was the Dodgers. Darik discusses his feelings toward Eddie Rosario and he’s happy to see him moving on from his Twins. The Yankees are loading up on high risk arms with Jameson Taillon and Corey Kluber as the guys discuss which one they prefer to draft. We cover a few more of the lesser moves of the offseason before we let Darik go.

Grey Albright and Billy Hurley are back for another episode of the Patreon podcast. Whether you are signed up for Patreon for the podcast or the rankings, come listen in as guest host B_Don walks the guys through some of the best, “Not, Not News” out there. Starting with a story about an Oklahoma law maker that is trying to answer an important question, when is Bigfoot hunting season?

With all of his many ideas, we’re all surprised Grey wasn’t the person who invented airbag jeans. Continuing with original ideas, Panera has found the answer for all the winter iced coffee drinkers, bread bowl hand warmers! Why didn’t we think of that? The next story, we all agree was not a good idea as a man has turned himself into a black alien through a series of physical modifications.

We could only look at the photo of that guy so long, so, we wrap up the podcast on a lighter note as Kraft as announced that they are making a special pink, candy flavored mac and cheese for Valentine’s day. I’m sure your sweety wouldn’t throw you out of the house for making pink Kraft mac and cheese (don’t do it, it’s a trap).

Grey Albright and Billy Hurley are back for another podcast episode! B_Don is still filling in for Donkey Teeth as the guys go through the best of the not, not news. The trio could have spent the whole hour on the first story about a dinosaur’s butthole that was found and opens up new insights into dinosaur anatomy. Next up, a British couple recently had one of Gweneth Paltrow’s vagina candles erupt in their house. On to the next story, a British man was found 100 miles from his home while violating COVID quarantine rules and his excuse was that he was trying to get to a McDonald’s, but there was no McDonald’s in that town. While that story was about violating COVID, Tom Cruise has paid for 2 COVID patrolling robots to monitor the social distancing and mask wearing on set of the 69th Mission Impossible movie. Robot voice Grey and Billy do not disappoint. I wonder if Tom Cruise is a smooshy face cat? His lack of range would make sense given the next story about how these ‘smooshy’ faced cats are having trouble showing their emotions. We wrap up with a story about Ben & Jerry’s branching off to make ice cream treats for the doggos out there.

While Donkey Teeth is away at his retreat, B_Don fills in as the podcast host for another hour of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Not News with Billy Hurley and Grey Albright. We start with a conversation about just what exactly DT is doing while he’s away and how flexible he may be when he returns. Then, the guys move on to the story that DT teased before he left where a man has been charged with operating an international table tennis crime syndicate. While fixing ping pong matches is pretty ballsy, it’s got nothing on our next story about John Dillermand who is the lead character in a children’s show from Denmark where a man uses his penis to perform all sorts of tasks. Next up, James Blunt gets scurvy? No, that can’t be right, did he right a song about being curvy? No, James Blunt did get scurvy. The last story comes from Australia where a naked fugitive was found by 2 fisherman

Scott White, Sr. Writer for CBS Sports, talks with B_Don and Donkey Teeth about the shortened 2020 season. The guys ask Scott about his expectations for his Braves for both hitting and pitching. We ask Scott about his thoughts on Mike Trout as he comes in at 5 among his rankings.

The guys then move on to discuss the recent CBS roto auction. Scott criticizes DT and B_Don’s approach in the auction grabbing 3 top hitters in Ronald Acuña Jr. ($49), Cody Bellinger ($44), and Chrsitian Yelich ($56). The podcast hosts then explain their thinking toward the full stars and scrubs approach.

We move on to Scott’s team and how he planned his team prior to the auction. We get his take on Francisco Lindor and his possibilities of being traded, and his expectations for Mike Soroka.

B_Don and Donkey Teeth are back to talk some college prospects leading up to the MLB Draft with 2 resident Razzball prospectors, Hobbs and The Itch. We start by discussing the newest proposal from the MLBPA and how a shortened season might affect our willingness to play in high stakes leagues.

Then, we move on to discuss Hobbs’s top 10 college prospects. We start with at the top with Spencer Torkelson, the projected #1 pick. Hobbs and The Itch talk us through what kind of profile we can expect from Torkelson and whether they’d have a comparable asset from last year’s draft, Andrew Vaughn. We then ask our prospect gurus to give us some information on the top college pitchers including: Reid Detmers, Emerson Hancock, Max Meyer, and Asa Lacy.

Our analysts then move on to discuss how this different season could affect this, and future, drafts along with how a minor league system may look down the line. Finally, we wrap up with some Jasson Dominguez talk to find out if he’s worth all of the hype.
