Hey Razzfolx! Hoping y’all have a stellar fourth of July week if you’re stateside. If you’re not stateside, give us grace and forgiveness while we explode fireworks into the sky like it’s 1999. I was actually there in 1999. Nothing like Prince promised us. Mostly it was filled with boy bands and tamagotchis. But hey, maybe you too can chill the heck out for a bit and get ready for the second half of the calendar year. I’ll have a barrel-aged stout for you this week (and there sure are a lot of you!).

We made it through another week, and now the All Star weekend is right around the corner. Last week, I gave you the top 200 hitters across the major scoring formats for the first half of the season. Those were appropriately called our “First-Half All Star Hitters”. At the time, I promised I’d do the […]

Once a generation a pitcher comes along that is extraordinary. Extra plus ordinary. It’s not often we get to witness it with our own eyes. Previous generations, some of those pitchers were Max Scherzer, Pedro Martinez, Roger Clemens, Nolan Ryan, then before I was born, so I don’t know. Too old for me! I’m a […]

We are at the halfway point of the season. To celebrate, have an actually pretty good group of two start pitchers! What follows are our projections at time of writing as to who will be making two-starts this week, but weather, injuries, and secretive team management mean they are just that: projections. To stay as […]

Ambulance Chasers: Hunter You Good, Man?
June 29, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | Leave a commentby: RotoSurgeon
We are officially at the halfway point of the 2025 MLB season, and just like every year, I learned a lot. Never fade Cal Raleigh. No matter how minor it seems, fade pitchers with preseason upper-body injuries. Elbow, shoulder, lat…doesn’t matter. Pulled-air percentage matters. Wyatt Langford’s breakout is a figment of our collective imagination (jk, […]

Top 100 Hitters: Heat Of Summer
June 29, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 15 Commentsby: Jeremy Brewer
As the season heats up, so does the pressure on fantasy managers trying to stay in contention. In the real world, the summer weather feels a lot like playing on the blistering artificial turf of Veterans Stadium back in the ’70s and ’80s, where on-field temperatures could top 150 degrees. Players once described the rubberized turf as “walking on a griddle,” with the stench of melting shoe soles filling the dugouts. You almost have to wonder if that’s what it smells like for the bat boy picking up Cal Raleigh’s bat after yet another towering home run. With that in mind, it’s time to refresh our Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the fantasy season where injuries, hot streaks, and surprises continue to shake up the rankings. Let’s dive in.

We had another solid showing last week, but Hayden Birdsong crapped on our car once again. That’s the second time he’s burned me this month, and we just have to let those guys go sometimes. I’m still happy with the results, but this will be a tough week. There weren’t many streamers who stood out […]

Graduated from Stash List #6: Chase’s Fire or Colby Jacks Cheese: Chase Burns, Brady House, Harry Ford.
Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Guardians OF Chase DeLauter (23, AAA)
Slashing .314/.434/.500 with three home runs and more walks (17.9%) than strikeouts (12.3%). If I have to pick just one of these guys to swing some standings the rest of the way, it’s DeLauter by a mile. Cleveland might drag their feet a bit, but they’ve struggled like crazy to keep this guy on the field, and it makes sense to get him on a big league travel and rest schedule as soon as possible now that he’s locked in. Plus, it takes a while these days for young guys to adjust. Best to get him going now so he can help in August and beyond.

FAAB Week 14: Between The Rockies And A Hard Place
June 28, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 23 Commentsby: Mike Couillard
A little insight into me and my analysis – I keep a Colorado Rockies schedule saved to my desktop. And not because I’m some Rockies superfan. It’s exclusively to find the best pockets to either roster Colorado bats or stream their opponents throughout the season because a few years ago, MLB started scheduling home games […]

Nick Kurtz: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player
June 27, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Keepers, Keeper Leagues | 2 Commentsby: Jakkers
The 2024 MLB draft may go down as one of the most productive drafts in recent memory.
Why? Well, five players drafted in the first round – Chase Burns, Jac Caglianone, Christian Moore, Cam Smith, and Nick Kurtz – have already made their way to the majors.
Burns, the only pitcher in that group, made his debut earlier this week for the Reds, allowing three runs in five innings while striking out eight against the Yankees. Caglianone has struggled with the Royals, slashing .186/.240/.314 with two homers and four RBI in his 19 games.
Moore has only been in the big leagues for two weeks and is slashing .175/.227/.450 but has three homers and six RBI. Smith broke camp with the Astros and has been a mainstay in right field all season and is slashing .271/.343/.402 with five homers and 28 RBI this season.
Then there is Kurt. He entered the season as the 34th ranked prospect by Baseball America, 38th by MLB and 33rd by Baseball Prospectus. Maybe those rankings were too low, because all he has done since joining the A’s in April is mash the ball and prove why he is an up-and-coming dynasty player.
