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 […]

Reid Detmers was the first-round pick 10th overall by the Angels in 2020. While that is important in itself for establishing pedigree, it’s slightly more important because the COVID-shortened season of 2020 also had a COVID-shortened draft of only 5 rounds (2021 was also shortened but went to 20 rounds); a proverbial “get your guy” […]

If you watched the playoffs like me, you know that Oscar Gonzalez was making a name for himself. Not nearly in the dramatic fashion that Arozarena did in 2020, but never-the-less still eye-catching. What I didn’t realize before was just how big he is… he’s 6’4″ 240 lbs, almost as big as Franmil. Oscar is […]

Full disclosure, if you didn’t know already, I am in fact an Angels fan. There I said it. I might have a bit of bias in this by way of hope. To that, I posit you this question: what more is a post on a baseball sleeper (fantasy or otherwise) than a prognostication of hope? […]

Happy preseason Razz-faithful! This will be my 3rd preseason (and full-season for that matter) writing player breakdowns for you here at Razzball. And let’s just say I’m starting to feel the pressure of success. In 2021, my first sleeper highlight was Joe Musgrove who went on to have an ace-level season. Last year for 2022, […]

With the season finished, we can finally look back at the big picture. I sit here watching Shohei Ohtani pitch for the final start of the season and think back on the journey. We witnessed amazing things. Ohtani has done something no one has ever done, again. Is it any less amazing when someone maintains […]

Hey gamers glad you could join us! It’s been a fun season everyone. Glad you could join us here at Razzball. I’m stepping in for Mr Pants one last time for the final Friday of the season. We all added a few more gray hairs and Grey lost a few hairs, but hey! Baseball is […]

What’s up fam, I’m filling in for Mr. Pants this week, and what a weekend to do it… Albert Pujols became just the fourth person ever to hit 700 HR at the big league level. Truly a remarkable feat. What’s even more remarkable is that he nearly died on the vine outside of the walls […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I sat here and debated what to do this week. Leagues are drawing to a close with some in their playoff matchups and others fighting for those last couple weeks of roto points. Do I pull out another suggestion for streaming from my bag (thanks Kremer) or like I alluded to last week, do I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Today is a big milestone for me, this is my 100th article written at Razzball. Mindblown emoji. Have I really been here that long? Where has the time gone? It wasn’t so long ago I was just a humble reader with an eye for analysis and now look at me. I’ve gotten to know so […]

We’ve now reached September, welcome. You made it. All the roster rules are out the window now (not really) and many teams are calling the youth forward to get a taste. This is the home stretch for all who are in the hunt and officially crossed over to the “What have you done for me […]
