Grey and Rudy are letting me run a team for Razzball, and I’m totally pumped about it. See, this is my first venture into the realm of expert leagues or writer’s leagues or whatever the hell you wanna call them and the pressure on a rookie like me is enormous. Grey told me I can […]

I’m not putting that title up there to brag. That’s really the name of the league. But within a few rounds of bidding I tittered like a little school girl when Troy Tulowitzki went for $42 and Miguel Cabrera went for only $40 as proof that even Gods don’t do everything right. I mean, have you […]

Razzball’s 2012 Yahoo! Friends & Family Draft
April 2, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Our Leagues | 94 Commentsby: Rudy Gamble
We participated for the 3rd year in a row in Yahoo’s Friends & Family draft – a melange of 6 Yahoos, 3 Rotowire peeps, 1 Baseball Prospectus writer (Baseball Prospector?), 1 HardballTimes.com guy, a WSJournalist and us. Count ’em up – it’s 13 people this year. Anyone can play 12 or 14 team leagues but […]

Deep League Thoughts: 1B
April 1, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 49 Commentsby: Oregon Nut Cups
As I alluded to in my 3rd baseman posting, first base scares me greatly this year in a deep league format. Outside the big six – Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, Adrian Gonzalez, Prince Fielder, & Mark Teixiera – I see very little reliability from a position that could leave you hurting if you […]

March 31, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 71 Commentsby: Oregon Nut Cups
Mike Stanton times 5. That’s really all I want in my outfield this year. Is that so wrong of me to ask for? Sadly I know this is not a reality, not even in a fantasy world so I’ll have to make due with 4 Non Stantons…somehow. I’m not going to lie and say OF […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Deep League Thoughts: SS
March 30, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 27 Commentsby: Oregon Nut Cups
Now this is a position I am bearish on to a point for 2012. On the one hand, there aren’t many SS I really want to draft. I like Troy Tulowitzki, Jose Reyes and Starlin Castro and that’s really it. The thing is, after those three, I don’t feel like I have a leg up on the competition […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As we mentioned earlier this month, we created an ‘expert’ league that follows the same rules as the Razzball Commenter League and will be included in the master standings. Will the Expert League reign supreme (Iron ChefTM) in competitive index or will several RCL leagues put the experts in their place? We shall see… Here […]

March 29, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 71 Commentsby: Oregon Nut Cups
This post is not going to get into drafting strategy because Grey has already got that lined up so well and in such alignment with what I’d do, it’s not worth repeating. Plus deep leagues usually don’t have a change to their pitching format so you don’t need pitcher pairings like you need SS pairings. Madison […]

B-Mac Shows The Special Sauce
March 29, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 152 Commentsby: Grey / Rudy
In the first real game of the season (it was real, right? I looked for highlights, but ESPN was showing a Red Sox split-squad game instead). From the box score, I heart Brandon McCarthy. His line was 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners and 3 Ks. Yeah, the Mariners aren’t very good at hitting, but […]

Opening Day Is Turning Japanese
March 28, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 232 Commentsby: Grey
Did you know that Vapors song, Turning Japanese, is about masturbation? Because when said act is done, a man squints, hence turning Japanese. Things that are offensive aren’t always racist, but, in this case, they are. Too bad The Vapors follow up single, “When I Really Have To Pee, I Dance Like A Cherokee” never […]

I have a secret to share with you (You: ‘Despite being the producer of Entourage, you still call Mark Wahlberg Marky Mark?’‘ Me: ‘Yes, but that wasn’t the secret I was referring to’). My secret is 2B is chalk full of value plays this year. There were so many overvalued players going into 2011 that […]

March 27, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Rookies | 120 Commentsby: Grey
Rookie pitchers give you a roofie. Rookie hitters give you agita. So why do we keep going back for more like a guest on Montel? It’s sorta like the old joke that Woody Allen quotes in Annie Hall. We need the eggs. Besides said eggs, if a rookie somehow/someway breaks out, he’ll help you win […]
