Hey Razzfaithful, back in the saddle after returning from a family vacation. With renewed clarity and a sunburn, I’m ready to take on a midseason review of my sleepers and deep dives from the early going. Call it a furthering need for authenticity. I do my best to practice this with my work and family, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sometimes when a player is called up they find instant success like Jared Jones. And others, despite a great track record, experience a few growing pains as they adjust to the MLB level. Gavin Stone was shelled early and often during 2023 in his first taste of the majors despite finishing 2022 as the Dodgers’ […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro Forgive this tired and abused Angels fan, but I didn’t believe this day would ever come. After seeing the team change managers and the same old tired routine of paying for replacement outfielders while Jo Adell would rot in Salt Lake hitting bomb after bomb, I didn’t think he’d ever get this chance. They […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro If only Joe Ryan had waited one more week to showcase a big “breakout” game. I have been holding him close to the vest waiting for a few more data points before planting my flag on a post-breakout re-breakout. I was watching him covertly take the next big step before making a big statement. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro I could have written a sleeper post about Shane Bieber, and almost did, but ultimately chose not to. However, if you all paid attention during the offseason and drafting season you likely noticed a trend with my work. Shane Bieber kept showing up here, there, and everywhere. He’s my bold prediction, my AL CY […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro Free agency has become quite the topic this year with Scott Boras’ leading his clients to wait out the clock to sign big contracts only to end up with decent Average Annual Value (AAV) short-term contracts with player-friendly opt-outs after the first year. Which, is really wild when you think about it, and feels […]

Everyone has got “their guys.” You see this all the time these days: Here’s a list of “my guys.” Tristan Casas‘ has been appearing on several, and guess what, here he is on mine as well. I wanted to pass on him due to the coverage… but I just couldn’t! Let’s see what someone recently […]

For the record, I debated on who I wanted to cover this week; but, let’s be honest, this is my cop-out to say I’m going to talk about both of them. Sorry, not sorry. I wanted to highlight both Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga and Jays pitcher Yusei Kikuchi. It’s also not an accident. Both are […]

Intro This offseason the Tigers signed Japanese veteran pitcher Kenta Maeda to a 2-year contract worth $24 million. The Tigers see him as a stable presence in their rotation who can mentor the younger pitchers like Skubal and Manning still developing their craft. The backdrop to this is that Maeda missed the entirety of the […]

It certainly feels like the Rays make every pitcher they touch better. Just a few in the past few years have been Drew Rasmussen, Jeffery Springs, and last season pointed out by yours truly, Zach Eflin. In said article, I predicted the coronation of a king. I did something I hadn’t done to that point, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?A little peek behind the curtain, I see my job here (for 4 years now) as highlighting inconsistencies in pre-season draft value for you, our faithful readers. I try my best to use my baseball knowledge to point this out. And in my experience, it’s always interesting how certain players garner a lot of helium […]
