What is up party people? We still have a couple weeks left of fantasy action before the post season kicks real baseball into high gear. If you are still in the hunt for a championship, I salute you and hope you can bring it home. At this point in the season, you have a pretty good handle on your team. Jarren Duran has to be on the short list of 2024 breakout stars. He has delivered power and speed, tied for the league lead in doubles while batting almost .290. I can’t say for certain where he will go in drafts next season but I can guarantee you it will be quite a bit higher than he went this season (ADP varies by source but it’s safe to say he was drafted well outside the top 100). I’m also not sure where I will have him ranked next season but top 20 doesn’t feel out of the question.

This week I want to cover a few tips, tricks, and just general things to […]

What is up party people? Every year a guy looks like the next big thing. Unfortunately sometimes, it takes a little time. Wyatt Langford is that guy this year. Finally the talent has won out. He can hit for the cycle and that means he can do everything else. We expected (or at least I wanted) him to be the next big thing. Looks like I was a year too early for his big breakout. I’m not sure where I’ll have him in my rankings but I think I will be way too into him. Rookie of the year is out, but it seems like he’s adjusted to major league pitching. And that’s a beautiful sight.

Hi all, and welcome to the new weekly baseball points league article that will be published every Monday here on Razzball. I’ll try to cover a variety of topics to help you win your fantasy points championship not only this year but in future seasons as well. I’ll try to make it a good mix […]

What is up party people? September baseball is right around the corner which is make or break time for teams, both real and fantasy. Matt Wallner can help give you that final boost. His last month has been pretty dang good with 7 home runs while batting over .300. Those are pretty solid numbers, especially for a guy who is more than likely on your wire right now. The only real knocks on him so far are his strikeout rate (37%) and that he takes a seat against lefties. That obviously limits his ceiling but with so little time left in the season you really can’t complain too much. Best of luck to all on your championship push.

What is up party people? Catcher is not a position that is known for offensive prowess unless you hav the great Buster Posey in mind.  Joey Bart  was supposed to be that replacement. Just a short time ago he was looked at as the heir to Buster in the Bay. Following a legend is tough because everyone compares you to him but whatever the reason, Bart struggled to find his footing in SF. Changing venues from Oracle to PNC seems to have revitalized him and he’s shown power and average that never quite materialized with the Giants. I’m happy to see him get things together and you’ll be happy to see him on your team if catcher has been causing you some headache.

What is up party people? Teams hungry for points have to be pleased with the recent performance of Jake Burger. He’s flashed some upside before, especially in the power department. After all, he did smack 34 bombs last season. Batting average won’t ever be pretty, but hovering in the .250 range is perfectly acceptable if he’s hitting dingers like he has the past two seasons. With 22 so far, he should come real close to his 2023 total and if he gets hot he could super size that number.

What is up party people? Few things are worse than seeing a guy in the midst of a breakout season go down with injury. Jordan Westburg was that guy and it sucks that he may miss the rest of the season. Naturally you will need a replacement. He may not be available in your league but if he is he should be your top add. Luis Garcia has come out of the break on a mission, just to be clear, I mean the Luis Garcia who plays second base for the Nationals and breakout season he is having. He’s about to pass last year’s point totals and we still have two more months. And over the past month he has really turned it on, batting over .350 with 6 home runs. That’s a very nice month but he’s actually been pretty good all year long. How has he accomplished this you might ask. Well he’s making better contact and hitting the ball harder more often so his batting average is about 20 points higher than last season. He has also unlocked his speed and the 18 bags he’s swiped have more than doubled his career total. And while his 19 doubles don’t put him anywhere near the top of the leader board he is very close to surpassing his previous career high. Power is a similar story, although he has already set a career high in that department. Roll all that together and you end up with a pretty solid player. If he’s still available, you might want to change that, he can help your ream down the stretch.

What is up party people? That was a fun trade deadline. Some big names moved some stayed put and once again I’m not really sure what the Giants plan was. Colton Cowser was one of the winners after he decided to start hitting again. Between his hot bat and Austin Hays getting traded playing time shouldn’t be a concern. And I think we all remember how hot he was earlier. Now is the perfect time to pick him back up. As for Hays, if he plays everyday he’s much more interesting and it looks like the Phillies will give him a shot in left field rather than just a platoon role. He’s been a solid points guy in the past and could be again if the trade wakes up his bat.

What is up party people? Who is the hottest bat in the majors right now and why is it Tyler Fitzgerald? Fitz may be the only guy hotter than Lawrence Butler (more on him later)  right now with his home run binge. If he gets the chance to play everyday, and let’s be honest the Giants should run him out there to see what he can do, there might be more than just a hot streak here. Both power and speed were on display in the minors along with a fairly solid average with more strikeouts than you would like. He has defensive versatility and has seen time all over the field. He’s even taken the mound in three games but with no strikeouts and a 9.00 ERA you wouldn’t want to put him in your lineup there. The ability to play all over the diamond should help him get in the lineup and at least opens up the possibility that he could add to his shortstop and outfield eligibility at some point. Eligibility isn’t everything but it would add to his value, particularly in leagues with short benches.
