Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.In an ideal fantasy baseball world, all stolen bases come from everyday players who provide value across all five categories.

The Detroit Tigers, Texas Rangers, and Cleveland Guardians have allowed 9 stolen bases each with the Tigers yet to throw out a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With the slight delay to open the season, we are too far out from the beginning of the season to begin looking at Week 1 matchups so let’s take a look at some other steals-related topics. For the last few weeks we have been focusing on hitters but let’s instead take a look at stolen […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In last week’s SAGNOF article, I looked at the state of SBs around the league from a positional standpoint. This week I wanted to dive in more from a draft cost standpoint. In order to do this, I looked at NFBC ADP for the last 30 days and used Steamer projections to find all players who are projected to have 10+ SBs. The chart below shows the number of players by round (NFBC 15 team leagues):

Please, blog, may I have some more?For 2022, the weekly SAGNOF piece will be focusing mostly on the neverending search for stolen bases. Every week I will help you, the reader, to parse the waiver wire and track down the next player who will underwhelm in all categories except for speed. However, now we are in the magical fantasy land that is the offseason, where everyone is going to steal 20 bases and your latest build is destined to be one that leads the league in stolen bases.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my lyrical stylings of what I think goes through Jazz’s head on the basepaths. We need the people who can hit the right notes, so to speak.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week we dug into closers who came out of the break hot. Let’s give the hitters their turn. Who’s squeezing some some speed out on the bases since the All Star break?

The talent is there. Torres just hasn’t lived up to it. Maybe he can help those rostering him to dig out of the hole they likely find themselves in. Please, blog, may I have some more?
