Back into my ongoing series on sliders, we take a look at another adjustment that’s becoming a pattern around the league. Baseball is a game of adjustments. You’ve probably heard that said a thousand times. What does that mean? The cat-and-mouse game between batter and pitcher is constantly shifting as each seeks to find a […]

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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
