The trade deadline has come and gone. Here’s the trades that affected the corners, and some quick hitters after. The deal: Cubs acquire Isaac Paredes, Rays acquire Christopher Morel Morel shouldn’t lose any of his power value in Florida but the counting numbers might dip. They clearly liked his XStats, and if you have been […]

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.

Corners Report: Wake Up Ye Laggards
July 24, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 1 Commentby: The Educator
Recently my family took me to Colorado. That’s a high elevation, especially when my home in Eastern NC is at 4 feet above sea level. It’s also a high elevation when you factor that they love to hike and I, well, tend to take after Gimli in Lord of the Rings while they are built […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So here I am, sitting at 6:29 AM and it’s already 83 degrees with humidity, well on the way to another day of heat advisories. Chicago did its part to promote Twisters by having at least ten tornadoes on the ground last night. There has already been a Cat 5 Hurricane. Does this feel like […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?My online buddy Bunt Singles had to deal with “real life” and “important things” which hopefully are just due to his moving, not a unanasthesized vasectomy or accidental amputation, so Kelder gets to fill in. It’s also the All Star break, time to assess where you are and what ground you can make up, and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well hello everyone, back after a two week hiatus. No, I wasn’t holding out for a higher salary. Nope, didn’t visit my Sherpa to tell me what to do for my struggling TGFBI squad (he would have said, remember you have it and make moves). I was in Colorado with the family and told them […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corners Report: Drinking Soder-strom A Can
June 19, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 1 Commentby: The Educator
Oooookay, Tyler Soderstrom. You’re the first A I’m writing up this year. .370 and 4 HR in 7 days is quite the hot streak. This could be something and I’d go get him now. Tyler, yes first name basis, came up as a catcher and was the number one prospect for the Oakland system, which […]

Did you know they still play baseball on bad teams, and their stats count just as much? Didn’t think so. I wouldn’t blame you for avoiding all things White Sox for this season, or Marlins, or any of the 6 or so teams that have already tanked. That’s why you come here! Here are some […]

The Razzball tools are real, and spectacular. I was poking around and there’s this neat little BABIP vs. Avg. calculator. If you pay, you can play with the tools just like I did. What we’re gonna do, is focus on this tool and talk about some guys to buy, and some guys to get rid […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corners Report: Memorial Day Awards And Ranks
May 29, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 7 Commentsby: The Educator
Nothing like a good Memorial Day week check in. Thanks to all who served, and let’s just get to the content. MVP: Alec Bohm. Based on where he was drafted and his top 5 player status, this guy has been a fantasy owner’s dream. I’m sure you all who have drafted him have regaled your […]

May 22, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 5 Commentsby: The Educator
I didn’t know there was a save button. To backtrack, I’m on too many platforms. I joined the TGFBI on the NFBC site, my home leagues are on Yahoo, my dynasty is on Fantrax, and I joined a random one on ESPN. I’m not here to critique any site; the trouble is having too many […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you watched any baseball, read any Tweeters, or Fan and Graphs, you probably heard about the new Baseball Savant stat they are tracking. Bat Speed. Gotta confess my initial apathy for the metric. How many different stats do we need? We have xOBA, WRC+, WOBA, and all sorts of other things to not understand, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I tried and tried and tried to come up with a theme this week, and just couldn’t. I feel like George RR Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, and Scott Lynch all wrapped up in one fantasy article. So, instead, I just posted a bunch of guys and then stole an idea from a colleague. Alec Bohm: I’m […]
