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 […]

Last week we chatted a bit about the current state of the shortstop position, and now it’s time to pop over and see what’s happening at second base. Overall I’ve found second base to be shallower than I’d expected (this is becoming a common theme, I realize) and definitely a position where I’d like to […]

Happy February, Razzball friends, as we are now happily just eight weeks away from Opening Day. We’ve covered catchers and third basemen over the last couple of weeks, so today we continue our clockwise tour around the diamond and take a look at the current state of the shortstop position. As I will continue to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week we talked about catchers; let’s go clockwise around the diamond and move to third base. If you’ve done any drafting yet, or if you’ve just been checking in here at Razzball regularly, you already know that the position involves a comically steep cliff after the top guys are off the board. Since Grey’s […]

Happy New Year, Razzball, hope all is well in your world, whether you’re just starting to tune in to offseason happenings, or have been drafting up a storm since the beginning of October (raises hand). Here in the deep end of the pool, we’ll try to warm up one position at a time, with some quick […]

This is it, friends! We’re almost at the end of the line for regular season baseball in 2022, and I hope the season has treated you well. If it hasn’t, well, at least we had a season… remember back in March when it actually looked like it might not happen at all? Anyhow, I want […]

Greetings, and I hope the “less than two weeks left” point of the baseball season finds you well. For me, the last few weeks have been a bumpy ride in more than one of my leagues due in large part to a few very ill-timed pitching blowups. It can be beyond maddening at this time […]

It’s crunch time, my friends, and whether you can’t wait for season’s end, or are dreading it with every fiber of your being regardless of how your fantasy teams are doing (raises hand while tear rolls down cheek), it’ll be here in a couple of weeks. There may not be much waiver wire shopping going […]
