For four hours twice a year, I clear the calendar and settle in at the computer screen to click along with fantasy baseball luminaries like Scott White, Mike Gianella, and a handful of Razzball’s finest, including the master lothario himself. I love it. The niche math in motion appeals directly to some lizard-brain survivalist inside me. Here’s how the night played out for me:

Spring training is in full gear and fantasy drafts are rolling out. So that means it is time for the final installment of the 2024 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings. This week we feature the top 25 players.
Here is a look at the breakdown of this week’s grouping:
6 players between the ages of 30-34
14 players between the ages of 25-29
5 players between the ages of 20-24
12 infielders
10 outfielders
1 starting pitchers
1 starting pitcher/designated hitter
1 infielder/outfielder
There are, once again, 25 players who I broke down into my three age categories. Leading the way by a large margin is the group of players between the ages of 25 and 29. These are the players you expect to build your team around. There are still some great players who are in their 30’s, but do you want a player with maybe a three-year window of excellence or a player who a seven-year window, or greater? I don’t. I want the player who is approaching or at the start of their prime years to maximize their production I expect from them.
And as you will see, there is a reason why so many people consider the Atlanta Braves to be a dominant team for years to come. Of the 25 players listed in this group, six play for the Braves. The next closest team is the Dodgers with three players, with the Astros, Blue Jays, Phillies and Yankees coming in with two players apiece.
Anyway, for the final time this year, let’s get to the 2024 Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings: Players 25-1…
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m back to host the second meeting of Analytics Anonymous, 2024 edition. Today is all about pitching. Specifically, we’re going to look at Starting Pitching (SP) value. For those who’ve read my work over the past year may remember a few analyses on this topic. The major piece was published on February 6, 2023 under […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hap-hap-happy Saturday (or whatever day it is, wherever you are) Razzballers! I’ve got a little extra pep in my step because it is the most wonderful time of the year: RazzSlam. I will see a few of you during the draft! If you don’t have enough fantasy baseball in your life, there is still time […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin’, Razzpimples? So here we are. My Top 30 closers for 2024 fantasy baseball. Last year I split up #1-20 and #21-40, but this year I figured what the hell, meet in the middle by putting them into one article and shaving the list down to 30. Cuz I thought about it, and after […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?By the time you read this, we’ll have officially turned the calendar page to March, and I for one couldn’t be happier that we’re down to mere weeks before opening day. We’ve spent the last month or so looking at each infield position and now it’s time to head to the outfield. Since there are […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This Monday the RazzSlam starts; this Sunday I take part in LABR in Florida, which is where I am when you read this (if you read this on Saturday or Sunday).
Please, blog, may I have some more?Life is filled with so many certainties: death, taxes, and Grey dreaming about Adalberto Mondesi. Life is also so unpredictable. We like to box it in like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but we are neither a phone booth nor Moses Malone, so life finds a way to keep us on our toes. While […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In our 33rd episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer perform a two-person mock draft of the top ten closers. We open with discussion on the latest roster moves and Spring Training camp news along with some updates regarding 2024 Topps Series 1 before diving deep into the upper tier of fantasy bullpen arms. You can find us […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So, bunch of Razzballers got together for an auction draft at NFBC and I drafted a team I would never draft in any league. If you showed me this team, I’d say, “Looks like crap, get it out of my face!” Actually, I’d prolly say, “Cool, nice team,” but then I’d snicker! I’d snicker something awful! Real passive aggressive shizz from me! Just a snickering fool! So many snickers until I’m self-satisfied. Then I’d shove your team out of my face and say, “Begone!” I would hate this team if it’s yours, and at least I practice what I preach because I hate this team as mine too! Alas, we must muster on. For those not in the know, it’s a 15-team auction with two catchers that is a weekly league. Unlike a lot of NFBC leagues we play in, it is not draft and hold. There’s a $1000 FAAB budget with weekly pickups. Anyway, here’s my 15-team NFBC auction draft:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I know auctions (I guess we’re calling ’em salary cap drafts, now?) take too long, but so do most movies these days. The culture serves us escapism in heaping gobs of minutes and hours, and for four hours twice a year, I clear the calendar and settle in at the computer screen to click along with fantasy baseball luminaries like Scott White, Mike Gianella, and a handful of Razzball’s finest. I love it. The niche math in motion appeals directly to some lizard-brain survivalist inside me. Thanks as always to Scott for running these leagues and for inviting Razz-folks like Laura, B_Don, Grey and me to the party. Here’s how the night played out for me:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here we go now! It it officially the start of my big time drafting season as I am sure many of you readers are also about ready to get down and dirty in the draft room. Monday we kicked off an industry wide league on NFBC called TGFBI or The Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational. Tuesday […]
