If the art of archery isn’t actually about the components of the task, then I’ll assume for the sake of argument that the “art” of fantasy baseball is also not about the components. That, of course, doesn’t mean that player analysis isn’t important, or draft strategy, or understanding underlying data, or trying to spot ADP values. All of those things are, at least in my eyes, essential for success in this game. But I also am aware that I overthink my analysis, strategy, the underlying data, and especially what I perceive as ADP values.

Regression is such an ugly word. Why can players not just be elite forever after a breakout? Thanks to innovations in math and physics, we have heaps of analytics at our fingertips to judge whether a player’s recent performance is sustainable or not. Expected Stats like xwOBA, xAVG, xSLG, and xwoBACON (mmmm, BACON) are readily […]

We’re already gearing up for another season of my $100 entry Laura Holt Challenge League, and it looks like we’ll have at least one opening.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and B_Don are back to discuss the back end of Grey’s outfield rankings for 2026. Starting at 40 and going through the 90s. There are players that we like at their draft cost, and others not so much. There’s still upside out there along with the consistent value guys that go underrated and unnoticed […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Four score and seventeen-hundred rankings posts ago, my Fordfathers said, “Stop calling us Fordfathers, you idiot, it’s forefathers.” In order to form a more perfect fantasy baseball ranking system, we stopped ranking for fantasy baseball and simply said, “Eff it, let’s just let Grey rank 500 or so Mr. So-and-So’s.” Or, more succinctly, the top […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Can you smell what’s floating in the air? That’s right, it is the smell of baseball.
We are only days aways from the official start of spring training, and with Opening Day getting closer and closer, so too is my countdown of the 2026 Dynasty Baseball Rankings toward the top player. After starting at No. 400, the countdown is finally turning inside the top 100 as I feature players ranked 100 to 76.
Here is a quick breakdown of the positions and ages of the players:
SP: 8
C: 3 | 1B: 3 | 2B: 2 | 3B: 2 | SS: 2 | IF: 1
CF: 1 | RF: 1 | OF: 2
IF/OF: 1
Ages 20-24: 2
Ages 25-29: 15
Ages 30-34: 8
Ages 35+: 0
The first thing you notice with the positional breakdown is the fact that there are a lot of positions represented in this group. The only position group not showing up is a left fielder and relief pitcher. And I can let you know now there will be no more relievers showing up in my rankings.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Prospect News: Notes From The Razz 30 First-Year-Player Draft
The Razz 30 off-season is a tradition like no other. Owners slowly trim their rosters from 50-something players (43 spots with unlimited IL) down to the required 25 total, bartering over mid-round draft picks and borderline droppable players. It’s quite the party, and after a couple hundred trades have been made, we begin the First-Year-Player Draft.
Click here to read how the first round went down.
Results From Round Two:
31. Diamondbacks SS Kayson Cunningham
32. Twins SS Marek Houston
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello, all you brave, courageous, adventure-seekers, you’ve found the wrong website. This is fantasy baseball, not fantasy role playing, unless it’s fantasy roll-playing and this is Stratomatic, but that’s still not right. Still, fantasy baseball.
