Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back for another installment of Up-and-Coming Dynasty players. Last week I talked about Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto and this week I’m sticking to the Angels organization as the spotlight falls on starting pitcher Chase Silseth.
Right now, Silseth is rostered in 7% of Yahoo leagues and 4.5% of ESPN leagues while he’s rostered in 65% of Fantrax leagues.
When it comes to evaluating Silseth, looking at his past is not a good indicator of why I think he is an up-and-coming dynasty player. That is because if you look at his body of work in college and first season in the minors, there would be no reason to think he would have any success in the majors.
In this case, it is looking at what he did last year with the Angels and a gut hunch. My gut is telling me that Silseth is a very under-the-radar player, one who I think will be a solid member of your pitching staff, especially in deep leagues.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Aaaaand we’re back! And just in case you were concerned the Dodgers weren’t loaded with enough weapons to make Jack Reacher blush, an Ace break out could be upon us as second year starting pitcher Bobby Miller put on an absolutely filthy display Friday night, dominating the St. Louis Cardinals to the tune of six […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Do you ever feel really good about your roster after a draft? You look in the mirror and think “This is it. This is the one.” Then, you watch the game in disbelief as Royce Lewis starts limping to third base. And then Justin Steele isn’t able to stand up after an awkward tumble? Hopefully, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Okay…Imagine this! I come out on stage in a sequins head-to-toe jumpsuit, clapping hands above my head! The audience is like, “Is that 70’s Elvis?” No! It’s Grey and The Hittin’ Jacks! On guitar we have Jackson Merrill, on drums Jackson Holliday and on bass, it’s the one and only, Jackson Chourio!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Day After The Best Day Of The Year! As I write this, my house is literally shaking a little bit because of the opening day flyover that is zooming right over it, headed a few miles away to Dodger Stadium, and it’s hard not to get emotional as I settle in to see what […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you’ve been around the block as long as I have, you remember Dick Clark hosting this show when you were a kid. If you’re a bit younger, Michael Strahan is the host associated with the show. Somewhere in between? Well, there have been a number of hosts, including Bill Cullen (the original Price Is […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As I peer out over the green grass fields, I’m reminded of my youth. A wee boy with eyes watering, scratching because I wanted the baseball to be played so badly. I was fiending and overheated! I was The Rock but obsessed with baseball, “Can you smell what the verdant is cooking!?” I yelled at […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sequels often suck and end up disappointing. But why? Maybe all the creative energy used to create the OG left nothing for future endeavors. Many could just be money grabs to mine the popularity of the first. Heightened expectations may not satisfy no matter how good it is. Whatever the reason, we have become cynical […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Intro Happy Opening Day to everyone except Ippei! This is my favorite time of the year. Spring is sprung, everyone is huffing hopium (EWB’s word), and we all get to talk about the excitement of baseball. It’s a magical time. And this, my final draft of each season with my fellow writers/analysts here at Razzball, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people and welcome to Opening Day 2024. Drafts are done and the real action is about to start. So what am I watching now that Spring Training is over? Like many of you, I want to which hot spring performances carry over into the regular season. I know, I know, you should always take spring numbers with a big ole grain of salt but it’s still fun to dream. I don’t want o overreact to a family small sample size but I do take notice of guys who have had some hype behind their name when they show out. If you want to stay on top of the next hot prospect to make their debut, and you should, there is no one better than Razzball’s own Itch. The analysis is top notch, I just adapt it to a points leagues format. Let’s all kick back, and take in some baseball.
