Fantasy Razzball Update: June 30

Fantasy Razzball is the game where the goal is to manage the worst fantasy baseball team possible. You hope to find terrible players who don’t get sent to the minors. As in the RCL, a team’s points are multiplied by the League Competitive Index. The LCI is based on the total points of the top 8 teams per league. The overall standings can be found below. Points are credited as follows:

Hitters (AB = +2, H = -3, R = -4, HR = -6, RBI = -4, K = +2)

Pitchers (IP = -1, HR = +4, L = +8, K = -1, ER = +1.5, H+BB = +1).

You can find links to the six Fantasy Razzball leagues (along with the 64 RCLs) here.

The readers of Hire Jim Essian formed a Fantasy Razzball League this year, and midway through the season they continue to have the overall leader. Facepalm United leads with 3345 points, nearly 300 ahead of last year’s champions, Anthapologists (Razz On). FU has hit just .229 with 57 home runs, while their pitchers have recorded 57 losses and allowed 111 home runs with an ERA of 4.78. Adeiny Hechavarria (218) and Rickie Weeks (207) have been their top hitters, while Wily Peralta (202.5) and Dan Haren (201) have led the pitching staff.

It should be noted that the Anthapologists have 543 innings left for their pitchers, while Faceplant United has 440 remaining, so the opportunity to cut into the lead exists.
