One Man’s Trash: Is Willi Wonka Or Milli Vanilli?

July 27, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Featured |

by:

We all know and love Willy Wonka, the fictional owner of a candy factory who provided the world with delectable sweets and gave five children the opportunity of a lifetime. I’m not sure everyone knows Milli Vanilli, though, but they should, as the group has become synonymous with one-hit wonders. Which brings me to Willi Castro of the Minnesota Twins. He has provided plenty of sweets for fantasy managers this season (5 home runs and 25 stolen bases) but had never eclipsed the double-digit steal barrier in any prior MLB season. Let’s dig in.

Avoiding The Blurbstomp – The Shifting Sands Of Time

July 27, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Avoiding the Blurbstomp | 2 Comments

by:

Some time in the last two weeks, a great schism occurred. It was silent, sweeping in with nary an announcement or erstwhile PR proclamation. The tapestry of our lives, the utter sauce to our specific pasta, altered with the stroke of fingers tapping on the loneliest keyboard: Rotoworld player notes were removed from the Yahoo fantasy baseball website.

What’s The Point: Rumor City

July 27, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Points Leagues | 2 Comments

What is up party people? The trade deadline is almost upon us and that means rumors are flying. Obviously the biggest name in the mix is the man, the myth, the legend Shohei Ohtani. No matter where he ends up he will be great unless that team for some reason decides to make him a one player. Stranger things have happened but that would make absolutely no sense to limit his talents given what it would require to pry him away.

Lucas Angiolito

Nothing would make me happier than seeing the Angels be competitive. Wasting Ohtani and Trout is not fun. No one deserves anything. No one but Ohtani and Trout. Give them a chance! Give Ohtani a chance! Let Ohtani get in a World Series, toe the rubber, not like Quentin Tarantino thinks about that phrase, and pitch a shutout while hitting a blast or two. Give us that shizz in our eyeballs! If helping that is Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez being traded to the Angels, then we welcome it with open arms, which sounds like lyrics from Calling All Angels, so it makes sense. Reynaldo Lopez and Giolito were previously traded from the Nats to the White Sox, and, appizzarently, they share a travel agent. Lopez will work the 8th, and Giolito will fix that rotation. He’s going to a relatively similar ballpark, and he allows too many homers and walks, but he should be able to maintain a 3.60-3.80 ERA and his 9.5+ K/9. It’s coming at a good time for him too, I hear. “Let’s go!” That’s Giolito throwing his wedding ring into Lake Michigan. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

SAGNOF: How Many Frelicks Does It Take To Get To The Center Of The Brewers Lineup?

Howdy, Razzball enthusiasts! Welcome back for another quick hit from the office of MarmosDad. For this week’s SAGNOF profile, I figured it would be prudent to include a bit of reference for you younger Razzballers that are puzzled by the title here… Now putting all candy and Tootsie pop references aside, one thing is for […]

Better Dansby Late Than Never

Buying low is harder than buying high. Yeah, I said it. Buying low means the other person has to cut bait after being so pot-committed. Then, the person buying low has to put aside the player they are getting has been garbage, and they might be better off with getting a guy off waivers. Dansby Swanson (3-for-3, 4 RBIs and his 11th and 12th homer, hitting .271) yesterday made buying low harder or easier? In theory, it should make it easier, because those signs of life should allow the person who has him an easy way to unload, but signs of life usually works the opposite way. The person with Swanson has been pounding their team’s chest, hoping to revive it, and now: The EKG line shoots up and you want them to sell him? One thing is for certain, Dansby Swanson is going to be so forgotten for 2024 fantasy baseball, he’s gonna be basically free, unless he turns his whole season around. Can he? Absolutely. His 1st half last year was one of the best. He’s capable of continuing to shoot up that EKG meaning I’d buy low, if that were possible, which it’s not. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
