Tim Anderson got knocked the F OUT (warning: Grey may or may not curse in the intro)! Would you lay a heavy tag on Jose Ramirez after watching that? Is JRam about to lead the league in stolen bases the rest of the season? Anyway, we move on to talk about the trades that occurred […]

I’ll Have What He’s Gavin
August 8, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 194 Commentsby: Grey
This year is hilarious! This year is like Opposite World! George Constanza would’ve done so well with pitching this year! Gavin Williams, who sounds like the actor who played Potsie (I’m old!) and had a 7.8 K/9 and 4.4 BB/9, goes against the 5th best team for average, 22nd worst team for strikeouts, 2nd best team for hits, and throws an absolute gem — 7 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 1 walk, 12 Ks, ERA at 2.90. Of course, Potsie was supposed to be better than he had showed so far in the majors, but no one was expecting him to have an outing like that! G. Will-ikers! Gavin a (P)Jays Party! It’s square as eff Monday here at Razzball! I’m talking about Potsie and freakin’ pajamas! So, as I alluded to earlier, Gavin Williams was supposed to be good. This might’ve been a wink-wink, nudge-nudge for Gavin Williams 2024 fantasy. For this year? He’s still inducing weak contact, even if the Ks haven’t been there before last night, as his ERA attests. I had them Bibee, Allen then Gavin, but Potsie’s easily jumped Allen, if he’s throwing for strikeouts now. Anyway. here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Top 100 Starting Pitchers For 2023: Week 19
August 7, 2023 | Featured, Top 100 Starting Pitchers | 15 Commentsby: everywhereblair
That time of the year is here: You jumped into first place in your standings behind the prowess of Shane McClanahan, Joe Ryan, and Nathan Eovaldi. Now they’re all on the IL and you’ve got to figure out what to do. First step: don’t panic. Second step: start emptying your bank account and sending all that money to sketchy charities because you’re not going to recover from those losses. Wait, I said don’t panic, right? Um, well, I guess I’m not good at this. Let’s try again!

Welcome to the Razzball Commenter League week 18 recap! I’m on family vacation this week and will keep this short and sweet, but load it with all the usual numbers. VinWins ran the Emmanuel Clase report earlier this week and asked if it’s something I’d be interested in using and I jumped at the chance. […]

Trade Deadline Value Gainers: 2023 Middle Infielders
August 7, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball | 2 Commentsby: scar
The Trade Deadline has come and gone, and unless you’re a fan of one of the MLB teams from Texas, it was a relatively quiet deadline with no huge blockbusters like the Juan Soto trade we saw last year. However, there’s still some positive value to be derived through some under-the-radar moves made in the […]

DFS: The Rain And Dane Fall Mostly On My Brain
August 7, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, DFS, DraftKings, Fanduel | 1 Commentby: rosineater
Dane Dunning loves cream puffs. Dunning (P: $7,200) struggled in July against a run of tough offenses which included the Dodgers, Padres and Rays. His last start against the White Sox went well (39 DK points), and he has a 37-point outing against the Tigers. Dunning looks like a guy we can trust with the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Oh Baby! The Jays Have Something In Schneider
August 7, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 280 Commentsby: Grey
Hol’ hol’ hol’ up! Jays manager’s name is John Schneider, and they just happened to find a replacement for the three-hole in their lineup named, Davis Schneider? This seems suspect! What’s also got me sniffing the waiver wire saying, “That’s fishy,” what did they put in Schneider? He’s the first player in MLB history with two homers and nine hits in his first three games. Reranking in my head for 2024 fantasy, “Acuña, Davis Schneider, Ohtani.” Davis Schneider not number one overall? No, okay? Not yet! Maybe after this week! So, Davis Schneider did all that bombing out of Fenway, and, in Triple-A, he went 21/9/.275 with a 21.9% strikeout rate. I get it, he was a bit old for the level, but, at 24, it wasn’t like he was Joey Meneses. Not to mentionese, did we forget last year with Meneses? Sometimes guys come up, and hit for two months until pitchers figure them out next year. Schneider has no prospect pedigree, but I’d grab him in any league until he stopped hitting, or until we find out he’s John Schneider’s kid, and, as we learned in Little League, he’s only hitting third because of daddy. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

Two-Start Dive Bar: Aug 7-13

August is in full swing, kids are going back to school, and the MLB trade deadline has come and gone. If you’re a casual fantasy baseball player and not doing well this year, then you’ve by now moved on to football… but on the other hand, if not, then you should read on my friend. […]

Top 100 Hitters: Youth Movement
August 6, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 8 Commentsby: Jeremy Brewer
Every season, there are new faces that make a splash in the major leagues. These guys seemingly coming out of nowhere to lead fantasy teams to glory. We are not talking about guys like Corbin Carroll or Anthony Volpe that were expected to make a splash starting on opening day. Nor are we looking at players that have strong pedigrees but early struggles like Nolan Gorman or Josh Lowe. These are guys that are can be grabbed throughout the season without much FAAB fanfare. For this season, we are talking about Matt McLain, Josh Outman and Edouard Julien. These types of players can be one-hit BABIP wonders or might carve out successful careers but always have a place in our fantasy hearts. With that in mind, I saw a recent completely unofficial Twitter poll indicating fantasy owners would take Matt McLain over Trea Turner in drafts next year. That is a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see if our rankings are so bold and how the youth movement continues to change the landscape of fantasy leagues.

The trade deadline week is always one of the best times of the year! It means we’re coming down to the final months of the year, and it really separates the contenders from the sellers. We were happy that the deadline didn’t affect too much in last week’s article because we had another solid week! […]

I finally saw the Mario movie last night, which my family could do because I subscribed to Peacock to watch seven innings of the Futures Game, so . . . good work on that one, MLB.
In other good-move news: Rays 1B Curtis Mead is in the majors today. We’d be short-sighted to assume he’s going to play regularly going forward, but the team needs a spark, and Mead’s all-fields approach and excellent plate skills (12.8-to-14.7 percent walk-to-strikeout rate) give the club another tough out in a solid lineup.
Mead went for $6 in the CBS AL-Only Analysts League. I have zero dollars and could’ve really used him but feel pretty good about landing a $0 Davis Schneider. I’m in first place and trying to win a second-straight championship there but have been dealt a series of body blows these past few weeks. Josh Bell and Jake Burger got traded out from under me. I also have Tyler Wells and Taj Bradley on that team. Not a recipe for success in an Only: losing four key pieces in the same week. With the two free roster spots, I added Red Sox 3B Luis Urias and Royals LHP Cole Ragans for zero dollars. I was a bit surprised they were free, but it’s late, and there were a ton of guys to bid on in that run. I really like Ragans, though. Great get for the Royals in the Aroldis Chapman trade.
