by: Baron Von Vulturewins

Today we are going to examine the most important fantasy baseball-related decision you will make all year: Choosing a team name. Now, some of you will read this and say, “Dude, I’ve been calling my team the Jim Rice-A-Ronis since ’82 and I ain’t gonna change that now.” To which I say, “Godspeed, sir! You […]

Manny Parra, 2009 Fantasy Sleeper

February 18, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 25 Comments

by: Grey

My 2008 preseason pick to win the NL Rookie of the Year award was Manny Parra.  Aren’t you glad you’re listening to me for fantasy baseball advice?  In Rudy’s top 20 risky pitchers post, he didn’t label Manny Parra an injury risk for 2009.  He said, “Throws five pitches (Fastball, Curveball, Changeup, Split-Finger, and Slider) […]

Top 80 Starters for 2009 Fantasy Baseball

February 17, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 20 Comments

by: Grey

In our 2009 fantasy baseball rankings, we’ve gone to the top 60 starters and top 60 outfielders thus far.  But since it’s advisable by me and everyone else that has every wielded a fantasy baseball quill to draft pitching late, I figured I needed to give you twenty or so more to bring the tally […]

by: Rudy Gamble

We love fantasy baseball here at Razzball. We’re also sick bastards. Coincidence? Not sure. What I do know is that we’re going to be running our second annual Fantasy Razzball league in 2009.  What is Fantasy Razzball you ask?  Fantasy Razzball is a fantasy baseball variation where you aim to manage the worst team possible.

Top 60 Outfielders for 2009 Fantasy Baseball

February 15, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 27 Comments

by: Grey

In the 2009 fantasy baseball rankings, we already went over 2009’s top 40 outfielders.  But like Jacques Cousteau once may have said to his underachieving son, “That’s not deep enough.”  There’s more outfielders to draft than there’s members of the Wu-Tang Clan, so we take it to the top 60 outfielders for 2009 fantasy baseball.  […]

Nelson Cruz, 2009 Fantasy Sleeper

February 13, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 57 Comments

by: Grey

In 2009, penciled in behind Josh Hamilton in the cleanup spot for the Rangers is Nelson Cruz.  He has 30 homer pop and could steal ten bases with Ron Kovic pinch running.  Where’s the lose?  Why is he a fantasy sleeper and not simply being drafted like the Minotaur he is?  Wait a second, Grey, […]

by: Rudy Gamble

Razzball is hosting the Roundtable this week.  I figured that we’re known as the class clowns so I’d surprise them all with a statty question.  Here it goes… What sabermetric or alternative statistic (e.g., Ground Ball ratio, Contact Rate, etc.) do you find to be highly over or undervalued for fantasy baseball player valuation purposes? […]

Travis Hafner, 2009 Fantasy Schmohawk

February 12, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Overrated | 35 Comments

by: Grey

At the age of 29 in the year two-zero-zero-six, Travis Hafner went 100/42/117/.308.  MVP numbers, for sure.  If you were sitting behind Hafner at a movie, you didn’t even mind that his head was blocking half the screen because the numbers were that good.  You briefly considered amending the North Dakota Wikipedia page to add […]

Nats Finally Sign a One-Tool Outfielder

February 11, 2009 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Hot Stove Rumors | 16 Comments

by: Grey

The Nats hope that Adam Dunn can teach youngsters like Elijah Dukes and Lastings Milledge the patience not to swing at every pitch or innocent bystander.  Dunn will pick his teeth with the Washington Monument and quench his thirst with its reflecting pool.  Adam Dunn is not going to lose any fantasy value in Washington […]
