On this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don talk about the Astros prospect call-up, Brice Matthews. Is he worth an add in your league? The Pirates plan to limit Paul Skenes workload and we discuss if you should look to sell the young ace. Next up, we talk about some players that have […]

Who is John Rave? And why does that sound like the tagline for an action movie? Keanu is John Rave. Keanu means Cool Breeze. Keanu is John Rave. Therefore, John Rave means Cool Breeze. No relation to The Freeze from Braves games. And where have you taken his daughter?! So, yesterday, John Rave went 2-for-4, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Post-All-Star Break, Razzball faithful! Welcome to the “unofficial” second half of the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season! I hope you all had a restful All-Star Break. It was tough sledding to gather up enough information from a handful of games this past weekend, so you’ll see some of my notes from the daily round-up that […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?WAAAAYYYY back in April, I did a piece on torpedo bats and barrels. If you remember, torpedo bats were all the rage during the first couple weeks of the season so we looked at early barrel rates (BRL%) to see if we could find something useful for our Points league teams. Today, we’re going to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Getting back into the baseball season after the break is like you’re starting to fall behind people in roller derby and some giant lady slingshots you back into the race — swoosh! Brienne of Tarth has boomerang’d your 5′ 7″ and three-quarters of an inch, macho, lady-frame into first place in that roller derby and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I think many people look at the All-Star break as a time to recharge their batteries and get ready for the stretch run, but that’s not me. I actually hate when we take a week off because I don’t know what to do with myself. The fiend in me needs that baseball every day because […]

Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.
1. Cardinals SS JJ Wetherholt (22, AAA)
2B Nolan Gorman has a 101 wRC+ despite a 30.1 percent strikeout rate, and he’s been hot since the calendar turned to June. He’s hit eight of his nine home runs since then, posting a 134 wRC+ despite still striking out an awful lot: 32.5 percent. The team already has something of an extra bat in C Yohel Pozo, but they’re in the wild card race. They’d make the playoffs if they started today, and JJ Wetherholt would be part of the Cardinals’ best playoff roster, so somebody’s going to lose some playing time sooner than later. Wetherholt went 4-for-5 with two doubles on Friday night, his fourth game in Triple-A, where he’s hitting .500 and slugging 1.000.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello Razzballers! Since we last met around these parts to talk FAAB, there’s been limited non-exhibition baseball action. With that in mind, check out last week’s article for an in-depth analysis of players to target and bid levels, including the usual Quick Hits. All of the information in there still holds up (thank you baseball […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The only real poor man here is anyone who drafted Adley Rutschman these past two seasons (me). He is consistently a top-10o pick yet incapable of tapping into any upside or even replicating his career-high 2022 season. That year was great (for a catcher) with 20 home runs, 84 runs, 80 RBI, and a .277 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Saturday, Razzball faithful! It’s your old buddy MarmosDad back again to fill in for Dan Pants’ Daily News and Notes from the Friday night round-up. I hope you’re not getting too sick of me yet! Speaking of getting sick of people (sick segue!), I don’t know how many fish sticks Seth Lugo can fit […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With the All-Star break this week, I figured now was a good time to look back at the first half of the season and see what I got right and what I got wrong when it comes to who is and isn’t an up-and-coming dynasty player.
To be honest, I still feel pretty good about the majority of the players I have talked about the last three and half months. But a few players have not lived up to the expectations I had for them entering the season or for what I expected out of them the rest of this year. Are these players going to rebound, or should I admit that I was just flat out wrong? Guess you will have to read and find out.
I will admit, this is a bit of a long read, but looking back on the good and the bad should be a slow journey. So go grab a cold beverage and hearty snack and then settle in.
Please, blog, may I have some more?In honor of the actual break in the middle of the Major League Baseball season, I thought I’d take my own little break from scouring the bottom of the free agent barrel for some deep league morsels, and take more of a general look towards the fantasy baseball future. Instead of concentrating on the second […]
