How dumb is MLB? How about: You have a sport where teams play 162 games and you don’t have every team play on Memorial Day. MLB could own all holidays from April until October. It’s so easy. If you don’t want all day games, fine. Have them play night games. Have them mid-day. Just have […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Each week I sit down and run through the notes I made over the last seven days. Which guys should add to the ‘jumper’ list? Which guys should be added to the ‘dumper’ list? Who should be dropped off the list? Is there anyone who should be added to the list? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We made it to Memorial Day! You know what that means — it’s the time where I finally start preparing my 2022 taxes. You pay these things on a once a decade basis, right? I kid, I kid. I’m just feeling a bit jealous that all the super yachts I see out this weekend are a business tax write-off while I’m deep in my basement lair breathing radon and wondering where my next squishmallow will come from.
Holiday weeks are always rough for fantasy: schedules are weird, players sometimes get a rest, and we’re also in the middle of call-up season. Don’t fret anything too much if you’re off your game this week — just stay the course and remember that you could have drafted a Strider / Cole start to your $1800 league.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ronald Acuña Jr. went down in a heap, seemed almost clearly because of his knee, and, at that point, one person in each fantasy baseball league, who was lucky to have the number one pick in their league spoke to the clouds, asking the Fantasy Baseball Overlord, “Why do you smite me? Am I smite-able? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The last couple weeks provided an abundance of guys you wanted to get into your lineup. This week offers a much less rich selection. It has more question marks, for sure. I’m interested to see what happens with the home run rate across the league as we get into June. To this point, it has […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In the world of fantasy baseball, one of the most exciting and challenging aspects is managing young players. There is incredible opportunity as players are discounted due to the potential variability they bring to our game. Whether it is a lack of track record at the major league level or the uncertainty of playing time, the market is simply not efficient with these youngsters. For many managers, the potential to find an upstart rookie is just too much to pass up. These up-and-coming players can make or break a fantasy season. Let’s delve into a few young players that are trying to establish themselves as mainstays in our fantasy lineup in this week’s version of Hitter Profiles.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We knew it would be a rough week when two of our streamers got injured on Monday. The good news is that we didn’t have anyone get blown up, but having two of our recommendations get injured really hurt. In any case, we were rolling before that article and feel confident about the streamers for […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. Pirates RHP Paul Skenes | 21 | MLB | 2024
2. Nationals OF James Wood | 21 | AAA | 2024
3. Orioles SS Jackson Holliday | 20 | MLB | 2024
4. Rangers OF Wyatt Langford | 22 | MLB | 2024
5. Rays 3B Junior Caminero | 20 | MLB | 2023
These guys are untouchable like Sean Connery swearing at Kevin Costner. Despite rocky starts for Holliday and Langford, few questions remain about their long-term viability as core dynasty assets.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Baseball and our realm, fantasy baseball, is a game of constant adjustments. If you aren’t re-evaluating your approach and the environments around you, it’s easy to fall behind. Hell, just ask John Mozeliak. Well, we aren’t planning to stagnate into a certain way of being here around Razzball (unless that involves hammering you to death […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back, everyone. I hope you are enjoying your start to (hopefully) your three-day weekend.
As we make our tour around the majors and talk about up-and-coming dynasty players, we land in the Pacific Northwest this weekend and feature a pitcher for the Seattle Mariners.
Bryce Miller is now in his second season with the Mariners. Originally drafted in the 38th round by Miami in the 2018 draft. Miller decided to instead transfer from Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, and head to College Station to pitch for Texas A&M. The move worked out for Miller.
Three years later he was drafted in the fourth round by Seattle in 2021 and by 2023 he was pitching in the majors.
So let’s talk about Bryce Miller, an up-and-coming dynasty player.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to another rousing edition of Razzball Ambulance Chasers. The bodies are still warm. The hamstrings are served strained. Speaking of rousing, warm, and strained, I took a note from MarmosDad’s playbook and injured my leg in a sports incident (or rather a series of sports incidents). Now, I get to attend weekly physical […]
