For the record, I debated on who I wanted to cover this week; but, let’s be honest, this is my cop-out to say I’m going to talk about both of them. Sorry, not sorry. I wanted to highlight both Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga and Jays pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. It’s also not an accident. Both are […]

Intro This offseason the Tigers signed Japanese veteran pitcher Kenta Maeda to a 2-year contract worth $24 million. The Tigers see him as a stable presence in their rotation who can mentor the younger pitchers like Skubal and Manning still developing their craft. The backdrop to this is that Maeda missed the entirety of the […]

It certainly feels like the Rays make every pitcher they touch better. Just a few in the past few years have been Drew Rasmussen, Jeffery Springs, and last season pointed out by yours truly, Zach Eflin. In said article, I predicted the coronation of a king. I did something I hadn’t done to that point, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?A little peek behind the curtain, I see my job here (for 4 years now) as highlighting inconsistencies in pre-season draft value for you, our faithful readers.

Introduction I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I just want to say; that last year was last year. It’s not your fault, this is a safe space, and it was probably Oli Marmol’s fault. There… doesn’t that feel better now? I feel like any Tyler O’Neill post this season needs to start […]

Introduction Welcome back, Razzfaithful. Another year, another fresh January deep dive for you. This first post of the season is usually when I lay out my big locked-in pitcher pick of the year. The last few have featured breakouts from 2021 Joe Musgrove, 2022 Nestor Cortes, and 2023 Zach Eflin. This year though, a little […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?How’s it going Razzfaithful? The outfield board is updated again and here’s a rundown of current trades and expected trades in the coming days: Randal Grichuk – Traded to Angels. Essentially replaces Taylor Ward who is now out for the season after getting Manoah’d. And he was just getting hot again too, ugh. Grichuk, fortunately, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In the world of baseball, there are times when you see something just click with players—a proverbial switch flipping—and Triston Casas seems to be in one of those moments. And as usual, my mind randomly equates flipping with flipping bats and with flipping houses. Triston could totally pass as one of the Property Brothers, right? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Another day, another outfield update… This time, fate has thrown us a curveball. Cody Bellinger has been on fire lately, hitting an impressive .400 with a 1.000 SLG and three homers in the past week. Has he recaptured his form from years past? Maybe he’s been honing his swing or practicing some secret belly rub […]

Hey Razzfaithful, back in the saddle after returning from a family vacation. With renewed clarity and a sunburn, I’m ready to take on a midseason review of my sleepers and deep dives from the early going. Call it a furthering need for authenticity. I do my best to practice this with my work and family, […]
