The theme today is Rapid Fire. Now, I love a good action movie but I’m not talking about the 1992 film, Rapid Fire, where Brandon Lee uses all his skills to slice and dice the aggressors to win in the end. Well, come to think of it, I think that’s EXACTLY what we’re going […]

With all this talk about torpedo bats and barrels, I thought we should take the opportunity to look at the early data to see if we can find something useful for our Points league teams. Now, I hear what you’re saying. “We’re only crossing into double-digit games, how can any of that data be meaningful […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?There is a lot of news out there these days regarding tariffs. I mean, it’s mid-March and we should be saturating ourselves with Spring Training news, right?

Please, blog, may I have some more?Baseball is full of rules. For example, the mound is exactly 60 feet, 6 inches away from the back point of home plate. Home plate is 17-inches wide. The bases are 90 feet apart. Hit the foul poles in the air, it’s a home run. Your team is leading after 9 innings, you win. We […]

Points Leagues: Oh, Say, Can You SEA
March 6, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Points Leagues | 4 Commentsby: malamoney
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 […]

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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’re a couple weeks into the season and you’re either loving your players’ hot start or wondering why you ever drafted them. Take a deep breath. There’s always room to improve your team, but you have to stick it out with your studs. You drafted them for a reason and they didn’t suddenly forget how to play baseball. Remember why you liked the top guys and trust that their talent will win out in the end. So don’t panic, just keep an eye on who’s rolling around on your waiver wire. Not every hot start is the real deal but some guys are worth taking a shot on over the last player on your bench to see if there’s a breakout on the horizon. There could be some gems like this just out there for the taking…

Points Leagues: Pitcher Projections for the Final Push
August 21, 2021 | Points Leagues | 4 Commentsby: Butters
We’re in the endgame of the fantasy season at this point so it’s time to get your roster dialed and ready. Let’s get down to business and check in on the pitcher projections for the rest of the season in points leagues. Points were calculated based on the criteria below and taken from the Steamer/Razzball Rest of season projections, same as in previous versions of this list.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Deadline day is upon us and the baseball world could look very different this time tomorrow. However, that hasn’t stopped the games from being played. Joey Votto (60) is on some kind of tear right now. He’s here to chew bubble gum and hit dingers and apparently he’s all out of bubble gum. That’s a bomb in six straight games and thanks to a couple of multi homer efforts he has 8 over that span. Votto has long been the type of guy who gets a boost to his value in points leagues. It’s likely that he’s already on a roster in your league, but he’s not universally rostered so I would take a peek at the wire.

It’s July and with the MLB All-Star Break almost upon us, it seems fitting to take a look at the points league all-stars. This is for season performance to date so they will be among the top points scorers but I am giving a little more weight to guys that are outperforming their draft position. The fantasy MVP has to be Shohei Ohtani (406) He has more points than anyone else and yet his ADP was in the 40s. As a two-way player, he’s basically a cheat code in daily leagues, giving you an extra roster spot. Start him at pitcher when he’s on the mound and at DH when he’s not. Obviously, for weekly lineups, his value isn’t quite as sky-high because you miss out on more of his points but he’s still been amazing. He’s been impressive no matter what position he’s at with a power/speed combo at the plate and massive K upside on the mound. At only 26 years old the sky is the limit and he should easily be the number one overall pick next season in leagues where he’s a two-way player.
Other than the Sho, here are my other Fantasy All-Star picks.
