December 29, 2008 | Hall of Fame Nominations | 4 Comments

In this series of Hall of Fame nomination-based posts, we’re going to focus on specific roles/positions. We’ll be reviewing both players on the HOF ballot as well as non-HOFers who we feel deserve re-consideration. This first post will focus on leadoff hitters – in honor of two standouts: Rickey Henderson and Tim Raines. We’re also […]

Josh Hamilton, 2009 Fantasy Schmohawk

by: Grey

I know; I’m a bad person for putting Josh Hamilton in the 2009 fantasy baseball overrated category. Sorry. I also don’t like soda. It is what it is. Don’t hate the player, hate the cola. Last year, Josh Hamilton entered a 12 step program for fantasy relevance. Step 1. Stay healthy. Step 2. Go into […]

Rickey Henderson – Razzball Interview

December 26, 2008 | Razzball Interview | 5 Comments

by: Rudy Gamble

While we at Razzball are content toiling within the modest confines of fantasy baseball blogdom, we occasionally like to flex our journalistic muscles and take on a challenging interview. Our interview subject is the one and only Rickey Henderson. Rudy: The Hall of Fame nominations are coming up and it’s predicted you’ll be a near […]

2009 Fantasy Baseball Projections, FTBOTR

December 23, 2008 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 14 Comments

by: Grey

FTBOTR is For The Back Of The Room, that’s who this post is for. Our 2009 fantasy baseball projections have been posted. These 2009 fantasy baseball projections are not quite like every other site’s fantasy projections. Ours come in the form of Point Shares. This is a very basic system to understand, this is our […]

Yanks Finalize Their Latino Blanco Corner Infield

December 23, 2008 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Hot Stove Rumors | 10 Comments

by: Grey

Maybe Arod and Mark Teixeira can double date with Madonna and Sheryl Crow. Latino Blanco Twin powers activate — form of a mild salsa! Form of a Tequiza tequila-flavored beer! Form of a Chardonnay Sangria! The Yanks sign Teixeira, figuring it would be easier than letting him sign with the Nationals and then buying the […]

Alex Gordon, 2009 Fantasy Sleeper

December 23, 2008 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 8 Comments

by: Grey

In our series of 2009 fantasy sleepers, I take a detour down my own personal Heartbreak Hill. Anyone who has read this site for a few knows I had a huge crush on Alex Gordon going into the 2008 season, so it’s with great regret I must confess, “Gordon, I can’t quit you.” That’s right, […]

Razzball Historical Spotlight: Brad Ausmus (2001-2008)

December 21, 2008 | Historical Spotlight | 15 Comments

by: Rudy Gamble

Note: Besides providing advice and news on fantasy baseball, we at Razzball created and now sponsor a game where the goal is to manage a team and compile the worst stats. These Historical Spotlights honor those players who would’ve excelled in such a format. See here for more info. See here for the summary […]

Chris Davis, 2009 Fantasy Sleeper

December 18, 2008 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 38 Comments

by: Grey

Okay, the Final Jeopardy answer is 107/40/118/.302/8. Do do do do do do do do… doot do do do do do do… What is Bill James predicting Chris Davis will do in 2009? That’s correct! “What is Bill James smoking?” would have also been accepted. Those numbers look a lot like MVP numbers. I’ll shave […]

Colby Rasmus, 2009 Fantasy Outlook

December 17, 2008 | Keeper Leagues | 11 Comments

by: Grey

Colby Rasmus goes by the nickname Razz or Razzle-Dazzle, which should make him a favorite here at Razzball, but there’s something pricky about him that I don’t like. Might be the name, Colby. It sounds like a total douche name, like a character’s name in a Bret Easton Ellis novel. (Speaking of douche, I have […]

Jason Heyward, 2009 Fantasy Outlook

December 17, 2008 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Keeper Leagues | 15 Comments

by: Grey

Jason Heyward, besides having the surname of a 1930s matinee idol, has the mitts of a Yeti and the sturdies (<– that’s legs) of Frank Thomas. His man gams are 117% oak. You thought Jay Bruce could fight crime? Heyward just saved your life and you didn’t even know you were in danger. Look over […]

A Razzball Reader’s Keeper Mock Draft

December 16, 2008 | Mailbag | 27 Comments

by: Grey

The other day a Razzball reader, Tim L., contacted me about mocking his fantasy baseball keeper league. Hi, I just wanted to say I’m a huge fan of your site. I think you do a fantastic job and have great analysis (as well as it being very funny). The reason I’m writing you is that […]

Furcal Redeems ATL-LA Round Trip Ticket

December 16, 2008 | 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Hot Stove Rumors | 20 Comments

by: Grey

Rafael Furcal returns to the Braves, which can’t be a good thing for 2009 fantasy baseball owners. I mean, it can, but it probably won’t be. This move will have people slightly too excited about Furcal. Then you throw in his great April in 2008 — hitting .357 with 5 home runs and 8 steals […]
