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 […]

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 […]

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.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Here we go again, folks, another week of the MLB season is in the books, and it’s time to move on to the next one. I will say, it suddenly doesn’t feel as early as I’d like it to in some of my leagues, as we’ve passed that point where a huge offensive day will […]

One belongs to perhaps the most hyped young player in baseball at the moment—known for his flamboyant hair, all-world CF defense, and now unstoppable bat.

Please, blog, may I have some more?11 of the top 25 starting pitchers (by SIERA) are starting today. Cole Ragans, Jack Flaherty, and Max Meyer are in this grouping, but due to some small sample issues, they still have an ERA over 4. This means that with 24 offenses to choose from, I am cancelling out 11 right away. Here is […]
