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 […]

Corners Report: Memorial Day Awards And Ranks
May 29, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 7 Commentsby: kelder
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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corner Report: Quit Whining We All Have Injuries
May 1, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 7 Commentsby: kelder
I too have been frustrated with the injury bug, semi faithful reader. Everyone has it. I’m currently injured, probably somewhere. I’m sure you have something nagging too. In my high powered position as fantasy expert, I’m writing this from my eye doctor. My eye doctor office is named My Eye Doctor. That seems less than […]

I have been humbled this weekend by the injury genie. Of course, a genie is supposed to grant wishes, right? Well, then, mean fantasy genie, why have you taken my two breakout picks, Triston Casas and Josh Jung? If you missed it, Casas went down with a weird rib thing and had quotes like “I’m […]

April 16, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 2 Commentsby: kelder
The first few weeks of a season are fraught with peril. It’s not like other sports in baseball. For football, you have a 100 yard week with 2 TD, yeah, he’s a pickup. In hoops, a guy spikes to 28 minutes and double doubles, get that guy on your team. Baseball, you get 3 HR […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?My current situation is in a doctor’s office, needle in my arm, drawing my precious droplets of blood for a physical to check something. That something, dear readers and trolls, is triglycerides. I’m fairly active, get 5 days of exercise a week, do pushups almost daily, and only eat one serving for meals. The trouble […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m not gonna lie, I was gonna mail this one in. It’s only been five days of games at this writing, and of course, you can’t make decisions on a small sample size. What in the name of Bill James are you trying to do there? Of course, baseball being baseball, we needed here in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Attack is a strong word, but hey, it’s a snazzy title and someone on the internet said one time that the headline is like really really important so I am darn proud of it. Speaking of attack, or not actually, I’m sure you all have a home league, one that will forever and furthermore live […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I talked about this last week, if you want a last minute ranks page with all the names Gray has one right here. Quite helpful. My method here is basically to just pick 20 guys, and rank them according to how I think they’ll perform. This can be narrative based, statistically based, or sometimes just […]
