Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! We’re a week away from Memorial Day ( I looked it up) but around here, the kids are off school for Victoria Day. Or as my youngest so eloquently summed it up: “Wait, so an old English lady who was a queen or something died and we get a day off […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
Razzinators! We’re heading into the pre-Memorial Day, post-Cinco de Mayo zone of fun avoidance. Unless you have PTO and a Senior corporate position, in which case you just took the whole month of May off and called it “focus time.” Much like I spend my “focus time” watching The Pitt and trying to imagine being as calm as Noah Wylie on literally any minute of any day. What if The Pitt made each episode a “Oner,” like maybe you’ve seen on The Studio? I’m sure by now I’ve lost most the readers to their TVs. Let’s give you a Oner and then call it a Doner. No, not a kebab. Like, Done. On with the text!
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’ve approached the 50-game threshold and we’re starting to see movement in players. No, I’m not talking about trades. I’m referring to the phenomena each season where slow-starters begin to heat up and fast-starters remind us they are not superstars (yet). So, for this week’s Points-league analysis, we’ll identify those players on the rise and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jose Alvarado was suspended 80 games for PEDs. Phils said in a statement, “We haven’t had a good bullpen in fifteen or so years so when we had a good reliever, we were like, ‘Who’s testing the urine?’ And this weird-looking guy misheard and said, ‘I’ll taste it.’ And we were like, ‘What? No! Gross, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you have Tarik Skubal, this looks it should be a really good week for you. Though it almost always is. He’s really good! But you get a double serving this week! As for everyone else…it could be worse. It’s not that it’s a bad week for two start options; it’s just that it isn’t […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The fantasy seas are rough right now. Injuries have hit like a storm, leaving rosters battered and managers scrambling for anything that floats. With stars sidelined and stat lines springing leaks, it feels like everyone is just trying to stay above water. But there are lifeboats. Players floating on the waiver wire who might be able to keep your season from sinking. It seems like every team is dealing with injuries. The injured list is overflowing. Time to look for reinforcements who can fill the gaps or even offer more. A few names are stepping into bigger roles, flashing potential, or riding hot streaks. These are the kinds of pickups that can help stabilize your roster and maybe give you an edge moving forward. This week’s hitter profiles dig into the gambles work taking off the wire and even a few guys that may be helpful the rest of the season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?After a disappointing article two weeks ago, we bounced back big time last week. We had Nick Martinez and AJ Smith-Shawver pitch some gems as two of our streamers, and two-start guys like Merrill Kelly and Colin Rea didn’t let us down either. The hitting streamers weren’t quite as successful, but the hit rate will […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. Red Sox OF Roman Anthony (21, AAA)
Turned 21 on May 13th, so Happy Belated Birthday, Roman! I wonder how he celebrated. The city of Boston would’ve been happy to throw him a big party, but that can wait, apparently. Tough to argue with their outcomes across the outfield this season. Cedanne Rafaela (87) has a higher wRC+ than Jarren Duran (84) this season, in case anyone cares. Gonna hit this drum just one more time and then let it rest: Rafaela has provided 1.1 Wins Above Replacement according to Fangraphs, while Duran has posted a 0.3 WAR. What is good for? Absolutely nothing. Just sayin. Does anyone remember Jack Cust? How did Grey used to spell Cust kayin’? Just like that, I guess, as confirmed by a quick giggle search.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Howdy out there, Razzballers! It’s been a surprisingly tumultuous week after we had settled in a few ruts around here. It makes sense as injuries mount again, minor leaguers also force the hands of their big-league clubs for a callup, and closers melt down. Outside of the last place clubs in MLB (it’s odd how […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s a miracle! We have a palatable week of injuries, yet there are injuries nonetheless. We also have plenty of players on the mend, including Teoscar Hernandez, Tommy Edman, Spencer Strider, and Ronald Acuna Jr, but there are no major notes. Edman and Strider are expected back early next week, while Acuna Jr.’s rehab stint […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The A’s pitching staff got Wilmer than they bargained for on Friday night as San Francisco Giants first baseman slash heartthrob Wilmer Flores had a career night with his first ever home run hat trick, three home runs along with a career high eight runs batted in! Flores was so locked he got Fred Flintstone […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back, friends.
This week I am going to dazzle you with why you should consider Kyle Stowers as an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.
The Marlins outfielder is off to a great start this season as he has 10 homers and 29 RBI entering Friday’s games. The start of his MLB career started slowly with the Baltimore Orioles. But since joining the Marlins at the trade deadline last season, he has been a steady performer, hitting 12 homers with 44 RBI in 90 games.
Let’s dive in and take a look at Kyle Stowers.
