Welcome to the 3rd annual stab at highlighting the riskiest pitcher propositions in fantasy baseball. I say ‘stab’ because I can’t claim success just yet. It’s easier to do that when you don’t compare your results against any baseline (like Mr. Verducci at SI.com). The fact is that many pitchers will go on the DL […]

We at Razzball realize that exporting our views across the country has damaging consequences on the blogosphere. To help make amends, we are reaching out to leading team blogs and featuring their locally blogged answers to pressing 2011 fantasy baseball questions regarding their team. We feel this approach will be fresher, more sustainable, and require […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I suggest you grab a 3rd baseman before leaving the top 150. Shoot, I suggest you get one before leaving the 2nd round, but those scenarios aren’t always possible. So what what what what is the scenario if you miss out on one? This list of guys that can be had later in your drafts. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This post is not meant to scream fire in the theater of Razzball. I’m not saying don’t draft these guys. I’m not unfriending them. I would hide all of their stupid Mafia Wars updates. I’m just saying you need to be aware of certain concerns that I’ve kept to myself about these players. I’m unburdening […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s no Reyes, Rollins or Hanley on this list of shortstops. This list is guys that can be had later in your drafts if you’ve punted shortstop or are still looking for a middle infielder. Look at this as a supplement to the top 20 shortstops of 2011 fantasy baseball. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Neftali Feliz is now a starter. Or is he? Emphasis on the ‘or.’ Or is it on the ‘is?’ You’ll never know! Muahahahahaha… Yeah, I don’t think Feliz is going to be a starter. They got to the World Series the way things were, you change that? Ogando or O’Day or Oliver or… What’s with […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Chris Carpenter left yesterday’s spring training game with a strained hammy. That sounds delicious! Unless, of course, you’ve drafted him already. Then you’re like, “Jesus, Carpenter!” But you shouldn’t have drafted him already. You really shouldn’t draft until the last possible second in March. You don’t want to lose your league before the season even […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So we had our first draft. Rudy and I. We drafted a pretty badass team if this were 2004. Maybe they can show this draft on ESPN Classic. If I can somehow bait my leaguemates into my DeLorean, I could win this league. Rudy’s a bit of a fantasy baseball cougar, so let’s blame him. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Head-to-Head, or H2H if you’re into abbreviations that look like R&B groups, doesn’t change a lot from our 2011 fantasy baseball rankings. There are 300 billion suns in the Milky Way galaxy. There are 100s of billions of galaxies in the universe. There are at least 256,000 planets exactly like Earth. Yet, there’s one Albert […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Between the two middle infield positions, I tend to draft a 2nd baseman early and punt shortstop. This happens for a few reasons. 1) 2nd base has more talent. That’s right, I draft the deeper position earlier. Same reason I punt catchers and try to get a 1st baseman early. If a position is deep, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?An optimist once said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” It was so inspiring that no one followed up with the relevant question, “Did life also give me sugar because, otherwise, this lemonade is going to taste like crap?” There are plenty of lemons in baseball*. Fantasy Razzball is the sugar that helps make […]
