The Educator has been focused more on third base than first. Good reasons for that. First base has struggled in recent years to produce young breakout hitters. Matt Mervis. Tristan Casas. Spencer Torkelson. Kyle Manzardo is even struggling a bit in the minors. Where have all the blue-chip first base hitters gone? Growing up it […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
Happy Mid-week, Razzball rapscallions! I trust that you all enjoyed a festive July 4th and are ready to cruise into the All Star break with a backyard full of empty beer cans and a belly full of hot dogs. Now is the time to sit back and reflect on what’s gone right…or wrong…since the beginning […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?How hot is Jarren Duran (OF, $2,800) right now? Two hits last night make seven in his last two games as he gets acclimated to the leadoff spot. You could even take breakout hitter Ezequiel Duran from the same game to get Duran/Duran! I’m only half-joking about the second part. Wild Boys! We have […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?“Four score and seven ‘And that’s me quoting me’s ago, my Fordfathers said, ‘Stop calling us Fordfathers, you idiot, it’s forefathers!” That was a quote from our most true patriot, Grey, the Fantasy Master Lothario, don’t abbreviate it. Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July, and you still have all ten fingers, and, if you don’t, I hope at least you had nearby an appropriately-sized, half-eaten hot dog to use as a tourniquet. Someone who doesn’t have a working ten fingers is Mike Trout. He looks like Captain America, so somehow it tracks that on the day with the most hand injuries in America, he gets his. Brutal news for sure, but every toilet flush fills up with a dog getting a clean glass of water, and that’s Jo Adell, as he was promoted. Since Trout is likely out six to eight weeks, this gives the Angels ample opportunity to find new ways to not play Adell. I kid. Kinda. I’d grab Adell in most leagues to see if he can finally click. Anyway. here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin, Razzpimples? Bullpen update time! Don’t forget, the Razzball Bullpen Chart is manned by yours truly and updated like every single second (not really, but I stay on top of thangs for the most part). And directly below, you’ll see a current look at the Top 15 RP (in both 5×5 standard leagues and 6×6 saves/holds […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Birthday, America, and happy week 13, RCLers. Hope all the Americans are having a wonderful holiday and can find some reason to celebrate despite the country seeming to run itself in reverse. To all non-Americans, I hope you’re having a wonderful week as well. America may be going backward, but we’re moving forward, onto […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Independence Day America! I always like to celebrate by watching this little production from Newcastle. It always bring a smile to my face. We’ve got a short slate of games tonight because most of them are going off during the day, my picks are also short because I’ve been enjoying America a little too much […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?After crowning Ohtani on the AL side, we’ve decided and the MVP races are both over. Ronald Acuna Jr. get the award on the NL side, done and done. He’s going to get 20/40 before the All-Star Break and he’s hitting over .330. What about the guy that’s third on the player rater? Well, we […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The singular of fireworks is firework, but sounds weird. A firework should be a professional wrestler who pretends to be a fireman for his character. That’s a firework. Speaking of firemen, Happy 4th of July or as firemen call it, “Why did you put a Roman Candle in your butt and aim it at your house? Dumb move, especially since you lived in a thatched hut.” You don’t need fireworks to light up the night sky when you have Michael Harris II (2-for-3, and his 8th and 9th homer). Megahertz is electricity. I’m glad I took the Big Dub on calling him overrated already so I can now go back to basking in his hawt-ness. Is that not how this works? Can I not call a guy overrated, then enjoy him a few months later? I absolutely can. No one says I need to watch him be a stinker the whole season. He was overrated coming into the year, and now he’s properly rated. When I rank him in the top 100 for the 2nd half next week, I think I’ve finally figured out where he should go. Sounds like Fiddy. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?You’re probably reading this article from a boat floating in the middle of a river or lake. There’s a sugary rum drink in your hand, or maybe a hard seltzer in a can coozy. Or maybe just a festive lemonade made from actual lemons. You’re probably munching on beef in some form — steak or ground, it doesn’t matter. You’re probably going to blow up a small section of land in the next 24 hours. Because ‘Mericuh. If you’re one of the lucky few that gets a holiday, enjoy it. Stare into the sky and count the clouds. Debate the nature of dark matter with your kids. You do you. Happy 4th of July. Just don’t get in trouble, or make trouble for somebody else.
That dramatic opening is also my way of saying: it’s a holiday. I’m not answering questions this week. [audible gasping]. I wrote articles and answered questions while I was in Japan, during Easter and Memorial Day, and while my family had Covid. I gave you Top SP Nathan Eovaldi and Top 10 SP Mitch Keller before anybody else. I told you to stop starting and rostering Alek Manoah a month before he was demoted. It’s time for a very slight break. Grey is here for questions everyday, and I love checking in with JKJ and Coolwhip. Let them know I said “Hi.”
Please, blog, may I have some more?Before I begin, I want to apologize to my throngs of fans and loyal readers for the tardiness of this article. I was on track for a Friday publication, but I’ll just say, sometimes life gets in the way and leave it at that. We’ve all been there so I know you understand. Anyway, everything […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 4th of July is upon us, and I hope you are all enjoying quality time with family and friends. As the calendar hits July, let’s take a look at some middle infielders whose fantasy value is exploding with value or fizzling out as we approach the All-Star break: Isaac Paredes – Rays: Overall has […]
