Now that we have a full month of baseball action behind us, it’s time to start reviewing some of the broader trends affecting our little fantasy baseball game. We are quickly approaching the time when sample sizes start becoming “real,” but I like this first month delineation because on a larger, team-wide scale, there is […]

Hello everyone. Glad to see you back for another week of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. This week I want to focus on Brenton Doyle of the Colorado Rockies.
I just hope that talking about Doyle won’t put a jinx on him. The last weekend of March I talked about Chase Silseth and as soon as I did that, he pretty much landed on the 60-day IL. After talking about Garrett Crochet, he has had a rough two weeks, posting a 10.50 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over his last 12 innings of work.
However, players are going to have their ups and downs, especially younger players. If you are starting to waiver on players like Silseth and Crochet, or a Will Benson or Chas McCormick, don’t. I still see the value in these players and others I have talked about and maintain they will be good dynasty players.
In fact, now might be a good time to try to acquire a player like Crochet as the other owner may be willing to sell low.
Enough about that. Let’s get back to Doyle. He’s a player I’ve been holding back in featuring him in order to see how he would do over the first month of the season. I took a chance on him this offseason by adding him in several leagues and I am more than happy that I did.
Let’s see why I think Doyle is an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Luis batted .354 in 147 games in 2023 and .316 in 144 games in 2022. The .354 was the highest season average for a player since 2010 and my dude holds an […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Friends, welcome back to Razzball Ambulance Chasers, your weekly fantasy baseball injury report. Either this week’s batch of injuries were less devastating than usual or my new emotional baseline around baseball injuries is “terror”. I mean, sure, Mike Trout and Byron Buxton are injured again (expected). And I am wondering if Nolan Jones is Kris […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey, look at this! I got two tickets for the Astros’ Broadway remake of Weekend at Bernie’s! How cool is this? You know I’ll be seated! Later, the lights dim and the curtains go up. On stage, there’s a home plate with an impatient ump and catcher. The ump yells, “This is going to be […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s finally a new month! That shouldn’t really mean anything in terms of baseball statistics and how they impact my fantasy teams, but if any of the slow-starting hitters that I’m rostering think that changing the calendar page will help them get going, maybe it actually will help them get going, which would be fine […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now that it’s May, we can stop saying “It’s only April” when we look at our teams and get frustrated that our guys aren’t producing as expected. This is a great time to make some moves, however, as the stats are starting to get “sticky” in that there are enough accrued to make some judgments […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sometimes, less is more. My recent articles have been lengthy and if you can check out some of the teaching points in those, you will likely benefit and understand today’s thoughts a bit better. The Cardinals get to face B(r)ad Keller whose one positive data point is his high ground ball rate. San Diego and […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?One might believe that being privy to the secretive goings-on at Razzball gives one access to information quicker than your average Joe Q. Public, and one would be absolutely correct in making such a bold declaration. Upon hearing there was not one, but two features on Jo Adell coming down the old Razzball pipeline, my brain did the only thing that seemed logical. I decided to avoid mentioning Jo Adell in order to not clog the blog arteries with too much rich and redundant content.
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people? Elly De La Cruz is on one heck of a tear right now and I regret not getting more shares of him. I will be the first to admit that I thought his ADP was too rich for my blood going into the season mainly due to his strikeouts. I will also be the first to admit that despite a 36% strikeout rate, he has still been amazing. That is truly impressive. He’s got the power (8) and he’s got the speed (18) to be a star. Honestly, it’s surprising that he only has 5 doubles with those kind of wheels. I still have some concerns there will be some rough patches from the Ks but he’s good enough to be productive in spite of that. Consider this my apology to Elly for ever doubting him.
