Tuesday May 7th offers us a simple 8 game slate. Let’s dive right into some important stats to see what our choices are for tonight: Pitchers’ K/BB ratios are starting to normalize around their season long projections. The better ratios belong to Shota Imanaga (24/6) and Yoshinobu Yamamoto (26/6), but they are both priced up […]

Grey and B_Don are back for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. It’s only May and the Marlins have declared they don’t intend to compete as they began trading away assets with Luis Arraez. What does it mean for Arraez and what impact might it have in Miami. We move on to the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was a long, strange journey through the month of April (seven whole starts) for my Mitch Keller preseason sleeper. Whenever a sleeper does bad, I blame woke. He was not awake, but maybe that was asking too much of a sleeper. I tagged him a sleeper, after all. Was I asking too much to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! I feel like an apology is in order. But, of course, it’s got a bit of a caveat. Let’s get this out of the way first. Yariel Rodriguez was NOT the answer to your starting pitcher streaming questions. The Cuban pitcher who shares the name with a certain fishy Disney princess, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s mega May! I mean, I wish it was Mega Man, but in lieu of everybody’s favorite pelleter, we’ll talk about some other mega men. May’s about the time when better hitters start showing up — the weather’s warmer, and players have stretched out a bit. There’s still a fair amount of mess for pitchers, especially those fringe innings eaters that will have their roster spots taken by various rookie callups. I know we’re all excited about rookies, but often the callups just don’t work that well. Wyatt Langford, Jackson Holliday, Jordan Beck — I mean, all the guys I list in this article have crushed their numbers and are available on the wire right now. Let’s see if we can diversify your team a bit!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Howdy again, y’all. I wanted to lead off by saying something that is probably pretty obvious, but if I don’t mention it, someone will very likely comment on my non-comment on the news. So, here it goes: I think Luis Arraez is a much better fantasy asset now that he’s a Padre, because the Padres […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Steven Kwan hit the IL with a hammy injury, which really, really sucks–Hold up! Guards are calling up Kyle Manzardo! Oh, boy, I feel my rap altar ego, B. Fire coming on! Kyle Manzardo?! Aw sookie! That hit tool ain’t bizardo! Headed to the DQ for the Blizzardo! The original DQ was owned by a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was back in theaters this weekend to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Remember how excited people were for its release? There were people who camped out for weeks in order to be first in line to see it. The wait for Star Wars to return to the theater had been a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season. As injuries ravage and our statistics stabilize, we are starting to see how the chips should fall. The Top 100 are really broken down into the top tier of all-stars, a shrinking middle and guys at the back that are still trying to find their way. For instance, Colton Cowser has been an early darling for fantasy owners, but his 35% strikeout rate is trying to call into question his long-term viability. Those questions put an anchor on too much ascension in our rankings. On the other end of some spectrum, we have a guy that was once a top prospect in Jurickson Profar trying to make a case for relevance in San Diego. Making his best contact in years, Profar is sneaking into our rankings. While we have seen this before, it feels a bit more real this time around. The ebb and flow of our rankings continues this week as we dig through those feisty hitters. Welcome back to the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2024 season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We were cruising with our streamers going into last week, but that wasn’t my best showing. Trevor Rogers really crapped on our week with that Saturday stinker but the rest of the results were okay. That will happen every once in a while when evaluating streamers because they guys are naturally volatile players. That’s definitely […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Having opened the season on a nine-game losing streak, the Marlins started swimming against the current early in 2024 and have apparently grown tired of the effort, swapping almost two full seasons of Luis Arraez for a package of four decent Padres’ prospects: OF Dillon Head, OF Jakob Marsee, 1B Nathan Martorella, and RHP Woo-Suk Go. The Marlins will reportedly also cover Arraez’s salary (down the minimum) for 2024. It’s the first big move by Miami’s new head of baseball operations, Peter Bendix, who comes to South Beach via Tampa and has experienced his fair share of high-wire trades. On the other side of the country, we find AJ Preller doing what he does best, flipping an assortment of imperfect prospects for someone he can play tomorrow.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now that we have a full month of baseball action behind us, it’s time to start reviewing some of the broader trends affecting our little fantasy baseball game. We are quickly approaching the time when sample sizes start becoming “real,” but I like this first month delineation because on a larger, team-wide scale, there is […]
