As I told you yesterday, I was ranked by Fantasy Pros 1st for all of fantasy baseball rankings in 2023. After I told you that, they announced their accuracy ranks of ‘pert ranks and I was ranked 2nd for last year: If my math is right, by the year 2084, I will be 6oth best […]

Until yesterday, Cubs 3B Matt Shaw has been one of those strange cases where a rookie could be acquired in redraft leagues for very little currency, relative to his skillset and opportunity. This discount can be attributed to the relatively recent clearout of Cubs’ third base options and the fact that Shaw has been injured and hadn’t played this spring. During Tuesday’s game, however, Shaw looked 100 percent, smoking an easy looking single to the opposite field in his first at bat and stroking another single in his second. On the bases that second time, he got a good read off the bat and sprinted to score from first base only to run into Michael Busch at third base when Busch pulled up after rounding third and retreated in spring training style. I mention the sprint because Shaw is clearly feeling good and pushing to make the team.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As we grind toward the finish line for draft season I admit this is the part of the year I both adore and hate most. The excitement of getting down and dirty in the draft room balanced by the 13th round snipe of a player you were targeting. Or for me right now as I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last year, Fantasy Pros said I had the best fantasy baseball rankings for the previous year. I did not do well in my leagues the year I had the best rankings. I don’t know how well my fantasy baseball rankings did last year comparatively to other ‘perts, because Fantasy Pros hasn’t announced it yet, but […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?From 2013-2023, there were three constants regarding me and the LABR Mixed Draft (15 teams 5×5, weekly FAAB, $100 w/ $1 minimum): I drafted every year sometime in February (thanks as always for the invite Steve Gardner!) I reviewed the draft in a loooong post on Razzball My teams did generally well but never took […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week we covered why you should join an RCL, so this week let’s start covering what to do once you’re in there. To be honest, this has all been covered somewhere on the site over the years, most often by Rudy. If you haven’t been playing in RCLs though, I could see how some […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?On this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, B_Don asks last year’s LABR winner, Grey Albright, about his top 40 outfield rankings. Outfield is full of great players so how do we balance wanting every outfielder with filling out a lineup. We talk about the players that we like above ADP that we’ll reach for to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Luis Gil won’t throw for six weeks with a lat strain, so went into the not-too-distant-past in my Wayback Machine to see who else had lat strains and how long those pitchers were out. Found one pitcher with Alfred E. Neuman on it that had a caption, “What, me thirsty?” at a garage sale my […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Welcome to MARCH! The calendar flipping over means it’s excitement time for us fantasy baseball enthusiasts! Spring Training games have begun to give us the smallest sample sizes to analyze or, at the very least, to acknowledge. Spring break is nearly here for the kids. RazzSlam leagues are finalized AND the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When I first came to Truss with the idea for an all-in-one, lightning round between myself and my ego and my id and my super-intelligent idea-go (I think that’s what it’s called), he was super-psyched. At least, that’s what I assume the [thumbs up] emoji means. Then he asked if I knew enough to make it longer than one paragraph. Very funny, Mr. Truss. Say that three times fast now and then tell me who has the better user name. ENYWHEY.
It’s fantasy baseball draft season. My home dynasty auction league with Jakkers finished on Saturday morning (I got Roki Sasaki for $40), a bunch of LABR and Tout Drafts finished last week (you should see Truss’ team, it’s delightful), and TGFBI and RazzSlam start this next week. A bunch of y’all are probably in the midst of drafting or about to do some crazy March Madness pick ’em to determine draft order (like Coolwhip’s home league, “SuperNuts”, which I just joined). In the moment of the draft, it can be hard to Google the hell out something real quick in 90 seconds before your draft timer is up. “Oh shizz, I forgot about Dre” you say as you write a joke millenials will maybe understand, only to realize via Razzball player universe search that there are no MLB players named Dre this year. Good one, EWB. ENYWHEY part deux.

Please, blog, may I have some more?In Luis Robert Jr.‘s favor, when I was typing the title up, I wrote Luis Robert Hr. It must be a good sign that I slipped up and changed Jr. to Hr. That’s where the positives are gonna have to end. Looked up Luis Robert Jr. on last year’s Player Rater to see what kind […]
