In our 74th episode, Mike Couillard is joined by special guest, Derek VanRiper of The Athletic and host of the Rates & Barrels podcast, to discuss the nuances of draft-and-hold leagues like NFBC’s 50-round Draft Champions and Gladiator formats. What strategies and players archetypes get a boost in these non-traditional formats that don’t have in-season […]

Start the drum roll!  Twenty-seven weeks down and now we have twenty-five more until the start of next year’s fantasy baseball season.  It’s (almost) perfect symmetry because fantasy baseball is the perfect fantasy sport.  But, before we turn our eyes to next season we first have to recap this past season, and with that, our […]

Welcome back to the final 2024 edition of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players series.

With the regular season winding down, most fantasy leagues seasons are done outside of the few still determining their champion this weekend. While fantasy seasons are basically done, that does not mean you are finished with your dynasty league. In fact, now is the start of the 2025 season!

Just like real MLB teams, the offseason doesn’t mean you get to put your feet on the table and not think about your team until February or March. The offseason is the time for you to make your plans for next season.

Who should you target in free agency or draft. What prospects should you go after? Which players should I target in a trade?

And if you really want to be prepared, now is the time to start putting together your rankings. (NOTE: If that is a daunting task for you, don’t fret! After a few weeks off, I will be back with the position-by-position dynasty rankings throughout the offseason. That will then lead into my overall player rankings ahead of spring training.)

Let’s circle back to a player you should target this offseason. My final player to highlight this year is Rhett Lowder of the Cincinatti Reds. This is a player who was pitching at Wake Forest just last year. Now, after only 22 games of minor league experience, he is pitching for the Reds.

So let’s take a look at Lowder

It’s hard to believe there’s only one week to go in the Razzball Commenter Leagues.  This marathon of a season has seen us torture ourselves for 26 long weeks, agonizing over batty calls, dipping into the streamers with mixed results, cursing players, and praising others.  We’ve ignored our families, our jobs, and our hygiene and […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Welcome to the final week of games for the regular season. It’s wild that we’re already here. I’ll save the cheesy, “It feels like just yesterday we were anxiously awaiting that 30/30 season from Wyatt Langford” series of foot-in-the-stomach reflections, and focus on the real reason you’re here. Who the heck […]

Brent Rooker has absolutely broken out in 2024, delivering an incredible season, hitting .304 with 38 homers and 11 steals. Coming into the season, the Oakland Athletic was seen as a power-only bat that would drain your batting average. However, throughout this season, he has proven his value to be much more by improving his plate approach and adding some speed to boot. This performance has Rooker ranked as the 10th most valuable hitter on the Razzball Player Rater in 2024. Heading into next season, we have to view him as a top-three-round player, especially considering the move to Sacramento, where he’ll benefit from short porches down both lines. This week, in our final Hitter Profile for 2024, we look ahead to next season and hunt for the next Brent Rooker-type breakout.
