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 […]

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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corners Report: NL Central Cornerstone Or Corner Pieces?
April 9, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 5 Commentsby: kelder
As many predicted, the corner infield landscape is a barren field littered with mines that might go off at any second. If your powers of prognostication were correct, your team is built with corners that are good, aka cornerstones. If not, well, you do have to fill in a 1B, 3B, and CI spot in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Torpedo bats are the talk of MLB as the year begins. Basically, they look like this: Back in my middle Iowa early 20s slow pitch softball heyday (I know, it’s an oddly specific heyday) these bats were used. I loved my team’s since it turned my routine fly outs into legitimate warning track power. The idea […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Back when I was in college in the cornfields of northwest Iowa, there was a prank called “snipe hunting.” Basically, you find a city slicker, tell him that you are going to a field to hunt snipes, give them a bag and send them out in the field, then the car you are in drives […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I participated in my home league draft recently. It’s not an expert league, or an industry league, or anything like that. It’s just a normal group of people, one of whom is my 71 year old dad who took pitchers with his first 8 picks. Random things happen, but here’s where the corners went by […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to this wonderful journey we call the Corners Report. It’s my third year on this prestigious website, and hopefully, you don’t remember two years ago when I pimped Andrew Vaughn and Anthony Rizzo. This year, it’s a challenge to rank and discuss the corners as they are, um, a bit shallow. This space, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m a shameless slacker, guys. So when Jeremy Brewer does a sleeper post, I’m gonna do a sleeper post as well. It’s just a good practice. Why work harder when you can work less hard? “These are players who have had partial seasons, late breakouts, or have shown notable skill improvements but haven’t yet made it […]
