Intro As the weather warms, baseball’s top hitters are beginning to heat up. The sun’s rays may shine brightly but the Tampa Bay Rays are shining brighter. The Rays lead all teams in HR so far this summer with 101 through 2 months; that’s more than triple the last-place Guardians and nearly as much as […]

How does one illustrate a daily producer for 12-team fantasy leagues? Well, now that we are about 2 months into the season I’d say it looks a lot like Nolan in St. Louis. No, not that Nolan, though he’s pretty great too. I’m talking about Nolan Gorman and what we might officially be able to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro Hey Razzers, I’m back in the saddle this week after some time off. Life has a way of giving us a fresh perspective from time to time, no? This baseball season has been wild, to say the least. No more wild than many of your trusted pitching starters crashing and burning and a laundry […]

You know, there’s so much on my mind at any given point; especially during the baseball season. I keep a running record of interesting things I see players do with notes to circle back to them if they duplicate them. And here we are, the first in-season deep dive as I look at often underappreciated, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro Greetings Razzers, back at it for another season of Top 100 Outfielders. As I started last season, I have calculated the rest-of-season outfield ranks into TIERS. Everybody loves tiers. Tiers are like onions, and onions have layers. Tiers and layers, onions and parfaits. However, these aren’t just your everyday run-of-the-mill tiers, No sir (/ma’am). […]

Patrick Sandoval arrived back at camp this last week looking as confident as ever. Something was different. Returning from the WBC in which he made 2 strong starts for Team Mexico, he’s primed to take another step forward this season. He successfully held the 2 finalists teams, USA and Japan, to only 1 run collectively […]

Intro It’s time once again to take a break from deep diving and come up for air to share my draft thoughts. Why should you the reader care? Well, last season I gave you my RazzSlam draft recap, on my way to finishing third in total points (more on that later). Also, in 2021 I […]

I’m sure you’ve been in a few drafts this season and reached a conundrum. What to do with 3B? So you missed out on Ramirez/Machado, bummer. Then you missed out on Austin Riley, dagger. And then you were either out of position or didn’t like the draft price on the next 4-5 3B, you tell […]

Another year at the dawn of spring, I find myself daydreaming again as camp kicks off and the sound of baseball bathes the early weekend air like the morning dew. While sipping my coffee, the sounds of baseball from my TV set fade into the white noise of a busy street-side market; I’m again swept […]

International players like Kodai Senga are always a challenge to project. Aside from the subtle differences in the gameplay and the spirit of the league, the zeitgeist if you will, there’s also the potential language barrier and communication challenges. And then, there’s the equipment itself. So people do not realize that the ball in […]

I promise you that I tried very hard not to write this article. After all, who wants a sleeper on a slow-burn prospect on a gutted rebuilding team? That’s not exciting. But as I keep coming back to this player, I can’t deny that something remarkable happened. He finally found something that clicked and after […]
