There are two midsummer traditions in my household: the MLB All-Star game and a beach trip with my in-laws. Seemingly every year, I stream the game from a two bedroom cabin with AC and outlets and nothing else. The beach is great. The time and expectations with the in-laws, well, you can probably guess right? […]

Kelder does have a first name but only his Mom uses it. He's been playing fantasy sports since before the internet had sites to do it. Not a member of any important organization but he thinks he's super funny! When not consuming baseball, he enjoys church coffee and food in larger quantities than his doctor would like.

This is certainly a transition year in the corner infield position. Stalwarts like Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman, and Paul Goldschmidt can’t be counted on for much longer. Christian Walker might be cooked. But from the ashes, new blood emerges. Well, it kinda has to, every team needs someone at the positions. It is after all […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Everyone loves a dynamic duo. Frodo and Sam. Iron Man and Spider-Man. Kelder and the toilet. Apologies if you waited with bated breath for my Corners Report last week. Sunday and Monday, I was waylaid by a nasty bug, and had a lot to catch up on, so I wasn’t able to do the research […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corners Report: Max Muncy. That Funky Muncy
June 11, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 5 Commentsby: kelder
If you are a glasses or contact lens wearer, and you ever accidentally wore your old prescription and tried to do something, you will understand what Max Muncy was going through. Reading street signs is a struggle. Ping pong is not an enjoyable activity. Reading can even stress the eyes. Max Muncy, you see, got […]

Back in my 20s, which is now 25 years ago, lifting weights was my exercise of choice. Bench press. Shoulder press. Tricep raises. Curls. Extensions. All of those things. I’ve recently tapped into my past, trying to get back into the weight game and recover those glorious large arms that have somehow lost their bulk […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Updating things is often a struggle in Kelder Land. For work, I have been wearing polos and khakis now for over 20 years. My phone, no reason to get a new one unless the battery has gone bad. My truck is a 2008 Silverado. My marriage is 20 years old, but that’s a good thing […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?At this point, we’re getting near re-rankings season. There’s enough data to make things not small sample sizes. Some Razzball representation was had last night in the Yahoo Friends and Family league, where they redraft around Mothers’ Day to reflect changes (and one is that I think I may have been invited next year!). And […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week is prom, my knees, and Craig Kimbrel reminded me—age doesn’t care. But in fantasy baseball? Sometimes, age wins. Saturday night, my son went to his first prom. I couldn’t care less about prom as an entity. But he has severe autism, and his class went, so we went along. None of this is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here we are, May, and hopefully your team isn’t dropping in the standings like Spencer Torkelson’s batting average! Not to brag, but also to brag, my TGFBI team is like good good. This morning, my team was second in the league and 6th place overall. What’s the point of doing well in this if you […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corners Report: AL West Not Much To Report
April 30, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 8 Commentsby: kelder
First base and third base are supposed to be the bedrock of your fantasy roster — a source of steady power, counting stats, and consistency. But in the AL West? It’s been a rotating cast of slumps, rookies, injuries, and desperate platoons. From Rowdy Tellez’s sinkhole slash line to a Luis Urías/Gio Urshela platoon that […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Remember that one Razzball writer, the guy who said that shallow positions aren’t shallow, they’re just waiting for guys to ascend to their new lofty heights? Genius, that guy is. Especially with Nick Kurtz receiving the call in Oakland. Kurtz is the rarest of modern breeds: a first base bat prospect taken in the first […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The intention was good. The rankings were being worked on. The notes were made. Then I realized all the interesting outliers were from the same team! Then we went over 500 words on them and just figured that would be enough. Jose Caballero is ranked eighth at the moment. He is ranked 36th for the […]
