It is a tale as old as time. Larva is discovered and shunned because, well, it’s a larva. But some larva are caterpillars that eventually morph into a beautiful butterfly, when it is exalted for all its beauty. Some begin to shun it, though, when they realize it is still an insect. The human version […]

And we are back for another heat check. No matter how totally awesome your team is it can always be better. So let’s dive right in to who’s hot and see if they can help you out. One of the past week’s hottest hitters has been Santiago Espinal. He really shouldn’t be this widely available given that he’s eligible at second and third base and is hovering around the top 12 at both positions. Did I mention that he’s in the middle of a monster stretch at the plate? His power is on the rise and he batted .310 last season so we know he can hit. He’s already been a guy who should at least be on your bench and he could be even better. Advanced stats say that he’s actually been getting a little bit unlucky with his batting average and it should be a few ticks north of .300. I like that he doesn’t strike out a ton and that the Jays lineup is strong surrounding him which should boost his production. I would be shocked if his roster percentage doesn’t spike after the week he just had so you’ll likely have to act fast if you want what he brings to the plate.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Thursdays in Major League Baseball are always interesting. How many games will there be? For today, this article is going to focus on the six-game 6:40 pm Eastern Main Slate on FanDuel. There is the return of Steven Strasburg! There are good and bad pitchers playing (if you can believe that). Who should we play? […]

Joe Girardi lost his job because he lost too many games. Joe Girardi, a victim of cancel culture. Little did we know Joe Girardi was the butterfly to start Hurricane Stott. Yesterday, Bryson Stott went 4-for-4, 3 runs, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer, and all three have come in the last week. Could it be connected? Last week, Stott said, “I need some super easy listening music to bust this slump. Maybe some adult contemporary. Something by Rob Thomas.” But what he didn’t realize was, while he was dreamcasting his thoughts, he just accidentally brushed against a genie lamp. Shame that right after, he added, “I wish they put more cheese on my Taco Bowl, and I wish it’s all cheddar and not a mix.” Pleasantly surprised by his lunch, but not the best use of wishes. There was a reason why he was one of the hottest pickups the first week of the season. Hitting 9th stinks, but if he can keep hitting, he makes the most sense at leadoff, and he has power and speed. Hopefully, he can continue it, even out of wishes. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?List season continues this week here at Razzball. It’s a stressful time for yours truly, if I’m honest with myself, as I don’t have time to write about everything I’m noticing just under the surface of prospect world. Stress isn’t negative all the time. It’s also exciting in this case. Tickles the geek inside my haunted carnival of a baseball mind to check in with each and every prospect and rearrange them rung by rung, tier by tier.
I’ll try to stay concise in between the tiers here, but you can access a more in-depth consideration of each individual player by clicking on their names or skimming around in the 2022 Minor League Preview Index.
Here’s a link to the top 25, Prospect Rankings Update: Corbin Carroll Headlines Top 25 for June 22.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey reader. Yeah, you. Yes, I am actually talking directly to you. Quick question. When you were a kid, did you ever blow Bubbles? I know you did. I just thought I’d let you know that he was asking about you. Giovanny Gallegos blows saves. He gets right down on his knees and gets to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well if your first name was Joe and you are an MLB manager it was not a good week for ya unfortunately as you now have time to take all those lovely summer vacations to exotic islands the wife has always wanted to go to. The vibe from the teams looks like they both needed […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?One trend that occurs as the season progresses is that the Waiver Wire stolen base options begin to dry up. Many of the top options are quickly scooped up by owners in need and anyone who may be left is either a part-time or a complete drag elsewhere. So savvy owners in deeper leagues can […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey, Razzball nation! It’s another Wednesday and another MarmosDad DFS writeup to help you build your mid-week DFS lineups! We’ve officially made it to June (well, I guess not all of us – thanks a lot, Adalberto and Franmil). Things are starting to shape up in MLB and those hot and cold starts by both […]

To try to appeal more to teenage boys, the Rangers should install a giant lotion bottle in center field, and each time Marcus Semien homers, it explodes with lotion onto the fans in the bleachers. Yesterday, there would be a lot of facials from Semien, as he went 7-for-8, 4 runs, 3 RBIs and a triple slam (4, 5, 6) and double legs (9, 10). Halleberrylujah. That might actually be the single greatest day ever. Could Semien be coming out of his early-season funk like Jason Biggs once came out of a tube sock? Okay, those other words were likely avoidable. Is Semien about to explode? Again, avoidable! Is Semien about to explode in a good way in all his glory, whole and pulsating. Okay, more very avoidable words! Here’s what I thought on our Youtube channel. Click that and click subscribe so I can feed my children (Ted, a dog).
Before you say, this rooster, Grey, is caca-cuckoo crazy. Entering yesterday’s games, he had an expected batting average of .201, and one of the worst exit velocities in the major. Everything across the board on his page is saying he really was this bad. Not unlucky. Could he turn it all around? Does Marcus Semien sound like a bath towel that you tell your mom you got paste on? Yes and yes! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin, Razzpimples? Took last week off, as I was in Gulf Shores absolutely throwing down Yuenglings left and right. If you follow me on Twitter, you know all about it. If you don’t, make a burner or something just to follow me and beef my count up. Shameless self-promotion is why fantasy writers do […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Looks like we are back to the good baseballs as the offenses finally woke up again this last week. Couple things I noted over the weekend. Keep an eye on Kevin Gausman’s next start as it looked like he was tipping his pitches against the Twins. They were sitting dead red and not chasing the […]
