According to Dave Roberts, the plan is for Mookie Betts to play about 40 games at 2B this season. Why am I mentioning this? Well firstly because commenters oldman and Ben pointed out to me that my first cut spreadsheet had no indication of Betts’ impending 2B eligibility. I spent […]

Points Leagues, Next Stop Guesstimation Station

Well, it’s that time of year again. What time is that you ask? I’ll tell you. It’s the approximately ten days or so that most of you have interest in me. I had someone at my front door this afternoon that I absolutely did not recognize. I was certain it was another solar panel douche. […]

Just like the last few years, you will find the typical names near the top of the points league starting pitcher lists. My early estimations have Gerrit Cole and Corbin Burnes as the front runners to lead the league in fantasy points. If they have injury-free seasons, I feel confident in saying that they will […]

I’m going to repeat something that I have repeated many times and will continue to repeat until I am no longer attempting to give advice to others on points leagues. For the most part, in order to be able to compare players in a points league, one needs to know the scoring system for the […]

Well alright, alright, alright. That’s what I love about these Razzball readers, man. I get older and they stay the same age. Wait, that can’t be true. Either way, you are still here and I appreciate it. Without your support, my pants would fall down. I pretty much just turned you into suspenders. The part […]

September 13, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Points Leagues |by: malamoney
For everyone saying that Shohei Ohtani is doing something we’ve never seen before, I’m calling bullshit. We saw it last year by a player named Shohei Ohtani. Is it impressive? Absolutely. Are we witnessing history? I dunno. He can hit and he can pitch, and that’s awesome. But he’s a two-trick pony that’s performed the […]

August 30, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Points Leagues |by: malamoney
Here’s what I wrote last Tuesday. Andrew Heaney has to be the most frustrating points league starting pitcher. On the surface, his numbers are fantastic. He has 52 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings pitched across 8 starts. He has a 1.77 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. Not too shabby. Here’s the thing, he’s pitched at […]

Ever wonder what goes on inside malamoney’s head when he’s contemplating a trade? Well if you’re anything like me, you’re at least a bit curious. What is the method to his madness? Well lucky for me I had to opportunity to sit down with the mathematical genius and get a glimpse inside his web of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In his final season in 1966, Sandy Koufax averaged a whopping 24.2 points per start over, wait for it, 41 starts. The season before he averaged 25.9 points per start. To put it simply, those numbers are incredible. However, before his season was cut short last year, Jacob deGrom was averaging 26.2 points. By the […]

I don’t give a rat’s rear end where people speculate Juan Soto is going to end up. Seriously though, I’m tired of reading all of these posts about hypothetical packages that would be needed to land Soto. It’s not fun, or funny. I don’t find it informative either. To speculate is to assume, and you […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hunter Renfroe has 13 home runs, but his 118 points and 0.527 points per plate appearance is not roster material. He did have 31 homers last year and 33 in 2019, so the power is real. Hopefully, it returns soon. Unrelated but now related because I’m writing it, Wade Boggs surprisingly had only a 0.677 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you have Yordan Alvarez on your team then you know that he’s made it his business to do everything he can to help you win. In fact, no hitter has scored more fantasy points than Alvarez over the last 28 days. During that span, he has scored 120 points, with a 1.25 points per […]
