There’s guys who are sleepers who you can draft around the last round of a draft and get a solid number three fantasy starter production like my Cody Bradford sleeper. Tanner Bibee is not that. Whether you pronounce “Bibee, baby” like the Notorious B.I.G. or not. As mentioned in the past, and will mention again […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?After two weeks of rankings where I lumped players ranked 400-301 into one group and then players 300-201 into a second group, this is the week in which I break out the rankings into groups of 25. For this week, that means players ranked 200-176.
The overall breakdown of this group tends to be a little older compared to those ranked higher. Eleven players are between the ages of 30-34, 11 are in the 25-29 age range and three players are 24 or younger.
As for the position breakdown, there are two relievers, two starting pitchers, one catcher, two third basemen, one shortstop and one DH. Nine players are outfielders, either at one outfield position or multiple, while another five are “utility” players, which for this purpose means they can play at least one infield and one outfield position.
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. 3B Cam Smith | 22 | AA | 2025
The 14th overall pick by the Cubs in this summer’s draft, Smith skipped blissfully through the A-levels in just 27 games, blasting six home runs in 15 Low-A games and slashing .333/.421/.500 in 12 High-A games before rounding out the season with five games with Double-A Tennessee. Houston saw enough to target the 6’3” 224 lb righty in the Kyle Tucker trade. Smith gives the club a ready-soon third-base prospect in the wake of Alex Bregman’s departure, though with Isaac Paredes also in town, Smith may have to try some outfield.
Please, blog, may I have some more?You need to disabuse yourself of thinking of sleepers like Hayden Birdsong (watch Birdsong have the best season known to man now that I’m pointing him out). Hayden Birdsong can be good (oh, he’s definitely going to be great now that I’m saying this), but Birdsong’s command is a mess (he’s going to have the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here’s how this JJ Bleday sleeper came into being: I saw he made good contact, then I spent about an hour trying to figure out how to not write this post. Sadly, at each thing I looked at, I still liked him. Why did I not want to write about JJ Bleday? Well, it’s a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. OF Walker Jenkins | 20 | AA | 2026
A left-handed hitter at 6’3” 210 lbs, Jenkins walked more than he struck out and slashed .282/.394/.439 in 82 professional games during his first full season. The sixth overall pick in the stacked 2023 class, Jenkins took the top spot on this list last year and is the odds-on favorite to claim it again next season unless the Twinkies really slam the gas on his development: an outcome he might invite with a hot start at Double-A.
Please, blog, may I have some more?So, I don’t love giving 1st basemen as sleepers, because I believe you need to draft a top one. Why? If everyone in your league has a great 1st baseman, it does not help you to have a lousy one. Très simple, as they say in Frenchlish class. I took a Frenchlish class, which was […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy New Year, everyone. We are one day closer to the start of the baseball season, which is really all we care about.
Today I tackle the second large group of player rankings in the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025. This is the 300-201 player grouping. After today, the final 200 players will be broken down into groups of 25.
In case you are new to my rankings, here is a simple breakdown of how I put these together…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy New Year, RazzNation! It’s that time of year… Our v1 of the Razzball/Steamer player projections are up. You can find them in the top menu under Projections or use these links (Hitters | Pitchers): Here is a Razzball/Steamer projections FAQ. They’ll be updated throughout the preseason. All the preseason Player Raters are up. You […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I told you once, I told you a million times that there’s no one way to skin a fantasy baseball sleeper. They’re not all “draft after the top 400 and return top 200 value.” A lot of them are not, tee bee aitch. I was looking through Steamer projections again, and, besides stumbling on seeing […]
