Happy May, my friends, and I hope that the first month-plus of the baseball season has treated you well. If you had Eugenio Suarez and Brandon Nimmo in your active lineup this past week, you’re probably sitting pretty near the top of your hitting standings. If you were counting on the Jake Burgers, Matt Shaws, […]

Weekly Razzball news delivered straight to your inbox.
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and fantasy baseball managers panicking when their best players slump to start the season. Fortunately for some, and not so fortunately for others, all early-season slumps are not created equally. A hitter going 0-4 one game barely registers for most people. He does it three or four […]

Start by going through the list of pitchers, and if your bias works anything like mine, you will start identifying pitchers who you want to play tonight. Up at the top, Tarik […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rarely am I surprised by a demotion. Jake Burger being demoted shocked me. We should have a contest next preseason to guess the guy who will be demoted that will floor people. Has to be a guy in the top 125 or so in drafts, and I have to pin down what “floored” means. So, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Emerging from the shadows, the sunlight burned my retinas, forcing my Asian eyes to squint even smaller. After the discombobulation ended, my head was hurled back suddenly as if God moved the swing arm of a protractor. As I now gazed deep into the light blue California sky, I expected to see puffs of smoke […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?A close look at the depth charts for each middle infield in the AL East. There is plenty of star power, but not as much quality as you might expect.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Noah Cameron sounds like a Prime Minister but he’s on the Royals, and that feels like a no-can-do. Can a member of the Royal family also be a PM? I don’t know, but better yet: I don’t care. Only way Noah Cameron could’ve looked better last night is if he went against the Tories. Noah […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Dodgers RHP Ben Casparius is a FAAB focus point this week. He’s been excellent in a swing role on the strength of two plus breaking balls he commands pretty well. The team is forever searching for innings and will give Casparius a chance to stretch into the starting rotation. I like his chances.

Please, blog, may I have some more?First base and third base are supposed to be the bedrock of your fantasy roster — a source of steady power, counting stats, and consistency. But in the AL West? It’s been a rotating cast of slumps, rookies, injuries, and desperate platoons. From Rowdy Tellez’s sinkhole slash line to a Luis Urías/Gio Urshela platoon that […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?A hand shoots through the ground, it’s a skeleton claw! Next, oh my God, it’s skeleton head! “I want pitcher brain custard,” it sneered. Is this, oh my God, has Trent Grisham (1-for-6 and his 8th homer and 4th homer in six games) turned into a Zombino? Cut! No, this is ridiculous. I’m sorry, he’s […]
