Happy Monday, and welcome to September, Razzball faithful! So last weekend, when I took the kids to the Neil Young concert, we had some time to kill beforehand. As luck would have it, the concert venue was located inside the same place where the annual “Toronto Exhibition” is held. The Ex is kind of like […]

We’re heading into the home stretch. No pressure, but every little decision you make now could be the difference between cashing a prize or not! If you come up short, well, here’s a handy list of outfielders in deep second half slumps that might have cost you glory. More importantly though, with only four weeks […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?A creepy guy in a long trench coat, “Hey, wanna see something?” He flashes open his coat and inside the coat is dozens of corner infielders. That’s the Reds. They are the horniest anyone’s ever been for a corner infielder. Honestly, I didn’t even know that was a fetish, but I am not here to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s September! You know what that means. It means the boilerplate warning every week that this list is based on projected starts and not a guarantee of what teams will actually do becomes even more necessary. In the last couple weeks, we’ve already seen multiple teams make use of six-man rotations either to allow guys […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to another edition of Hitter Profiles. As we round the corner into the final month of the season, the true diehards know it’s never too early to start scouting the big storylines for next year. Today’s profile takes a closer look at a four-pack of hitters who have shown flashes of breakout potential heading into 2026. While many of your league mates may have already shifted their attention to other sports, you still have a month to track how these players finish the season and how they might fit into your grand plan for next year’s draft. This week we’re stretching across the spectrum: young to old, breakout to call-up, even continent to continent, all in search of the next big thing. Join the fun in the comments below and let us know who your pick is to break out and make a bigger name for themselves in 2026.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Outside of a stinker from Michael McGreevy, I was really pleased with last week’s streamers. This is one of the toughest times to pick streamers because these teams are doing some bizarre things with their rotations and lineups. What is easy to figure out are these matchups because there’s a handful of lineups we want […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Phillies OF Justin Crawford (21, AAA) has three home runs and three stolen bases over his last five games. His season-long line is .333/.409/.454 with seven home runs and 43 stolen bases in 54 attempts. Still seems underrated to me in a general kind of way across the lists, and Philadelphia’s front office is complicit in that. Nick Castellanos is under contract for $20 million in 2026, but he comes off the books after that and has been mostly awful this season, posting a negative WAR (-0.7) and .294 on base percentage in 128 games. The team’s best roster for 2026 would probably have a cheap Crawford in left field and Castellanos on someone else’s payroll. Heck that might be true for this year. I realize things are pretty good on the big league side in Philadelphia, but leaving Crawford out of his post-season push feels like a mistake to me.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello Razzballers! Welcome back once again to the weekly waiver wire piece. You may have noticed that I’ve switched up the format, and that’s purposeful, not because I lost my mind. But well, I guess I may have lost my mind – we’ve made it through five months of this marathon we call fantasy baseball […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Scandalous. Can’t handle this. But the New York Metropolitans said it anyway. “Let me see that Tong” was the cry heard around the fantasy baseball world last night as the Mets recalled top pitching prospect, Jonah Tong (5 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 6 Ks) in his first career start AND gave him […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back, friends. After taking a week off to play the role of dad and send my child off to college, I am back and ready to talk about Cade Horton.
One of the top athletes in the high school class of 2020, Horton was a two-way star at Norman High School. Determined to play college football and baseball for the Oklahoma Sooners, Horton – despite his talent – he went undrafted in the shortened five round 2020 draft.
A 6-foot-1 right-hander, Horton never saw any time at quarterback for the Sooners and missed the 2021 baseball season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in February of 2021. He returned in 2022 and struggled during the regular season before finding his groove in the postseason to lead Oklahoma to a second-place finish in the College World Series. He was then drafted in the first round with the seventh overall pick by the Cubs and now is a key member of the starting rotation.
Let’s examine why Horton is an up-and-coming dynasty player.
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you blink at Matt Wallner‘s stats, you can see how he could be a perennial 30+ homer guy hitting .250+. Not a hard blink either, but a fast, something-in-your-eye flutter. If you blink super fast, you see ATT. If you blink super, super fast, you see TWA. Lots of old brands. Don’t see Wetzel’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As the final days of August slip away, things are feeling pretty stagnant in the world of deep league fantasy baseball, at least from my perspective. The real and pretend trade deadlines have come and gone, there hasn’t been a flurry of minor league call-ups, and the free agent pool is as dried up as […]
