I thought we’d do something a little different this week… instead of highlighting a handful of potential deep-league pickups, let’s take a slightly more global view of the current state of fantasy baseball. There have already been more injuries, gut-punch demotions, and surprise breakouts than I can count, and sometimes we need to just take […]

Rolling In The Deep: You’re Only (De)Jong Once

Wow, how did it get to be the end of April? It seems like yesterday that we were counting the weeks until opening day, but here we are with almost a full month of baseball under our collective belt. In some of my leagues, it feels like just as I’m getting my rosters settled for […]

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been finding it more difficult than ever this year to analyze both disappointing starts and players who’ve had a surprisingly good first few weeks. Perhaps it’s the new rules and pitch clock, with players like Manny Machado and Juan Soto freely admitting that they’ve had some trouble adjusting. […]

Happy Friday, Razzball friends and acquaintances, and welcome once again to the deep league corner of this fine website. It’s been another week of crushing injuries, a smattering of thoroughly disappointing pitching mixed with a handful of pleasantly surprising performances, and I hope you and your teams are staying afloat as we navigate the always […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s happening, Razzball nation?! It’s been a predictably wacky first week of baseball, and I for one already feel like I could use a vacation. We’ve had a tough start for some heavily drafted pitchers, but I’m trying to keep the faith that things will even out eventually. In a few leagues where I had […]

Happy Baseball Season! I’m not sure why this offseason felt like the longest one ever to me, especially since it was actually shorter than last year’s, and WAY shorter than 2020’s, but it’s all moot now. We finally have actual box scores that count in fantasy standings and — who knew this was such a […]

I was thinking this morning about how putting the finishing touches on a deep-league fantasy roster is kind of like packing for a trip. You know you need your essentials, like your basic wardrobe and shoes (or a few solid starters and a stud third baseman), and a whole slew of extra trip-specific items (or […]

As I mentioned last week, I did my first draft (a 15-team NFBC Draft & Hold league) way back in early October. It’s always a mixed bag drafting that early, but you know what you sign up for, and I won’t go into the sad details of my teams that will head into the season […]

We’ve spent the last several weeks going from position to position and discussing specific players, but after five months of drafting for me (!), and with draft season finally in full swing for the rest of the world, I’m feeling like it’s time to take a break and reflect on a few general trends. Back […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy March, friends! Spring training is finally in full swing, which is glorious, but with it comes the usual flurry of fantasy team-altering injuries, which are not so glorious. Hope you are enjoying the preseason and dodging the injury bullets as we all put our pretend teams together for 2023. Last week we chatted about […]

I don’t always go for a pun in my ledes, but if today’s headline invokes some of the uncomfortable, surreal, and ultimately terrifying vibes of Jordan Peele’s film (which coincidentally was released six years ago today, my how time flies!) it wasn’t an accident. I’ve found while drafting over the last few months that for […]

Greetings, friends! Football season is officially over, pitchers and catchers are reporting, and draft season is in full swing. Speaking of drafting, I hope you’ve signed up for an RCL or three… tons of free leagues, cheap leagues, try-to-beat-the-writer leagues, and then there’s my $100 league which still has a few openings left as I […]
