Happiest of Saturdays to you Razzballers! You’ve probably heard the various generational topics. Things like walking 10 miles in the snow to school or spending $56.23 on a piece of avocado toast or whatever BRAT means (spoiler: sorry to report it’s not bratwurst). Those are just distractions from the true divisive issue: Pluto’s status as […]

Since the retirement of David Wright, the search for finding the next third baseman of the future for the New York Mets has been seemingly going on for years. The search may finally be coming to an end.
For the last several years, the third baseman of the future was supposed to be Brett Baty. Starting in 2020, he was the Mets’ third baseman ranked in the top 100, coming in at #92 by MLB. By 2022, he was a top 40 prospect by Baseball America, MLB and Baseball Prospectus.
Baty saw 11 games of action with the Mets in 2022 before playing in 108 games last season and 50 games this season. But he has never quite adjusted to the MLB level and has a career slash line of .215/.282/.325 with 15 homes and 55 RBI in 169 career games.
With Baty struggling to maintain a hold of the Mets’ third base job, Mark Vientos is not. Like Baty, Vientos debuted in 2022. Like Baty, he struggled in his brief time with the club that season and struggled again in 2023. But unlike Baty, Vientos has made the adjustments needed to succeed at this level and is proving to be an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Makes sense, something fun that people enjoy and grows the games, showing the player’s personalities needs to be kept in check. We’ve got ten minutes to shave off games and forcing pitchers to throw at […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello out there, Razzballers! How are those FAAB budgets looking? I hope they are starting to get thin because we are lining up for just six weeks of fantasy action left. In those head-to-head leagues, the battle for playoff positioning is raging while roto league standings continue to be tight with a handful of homers, […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Last month, we took a break from our regularly scheduled deep league programming, and for one week talked instead about players that might already be shaping up to be early value buys next season. This week we’ll do something kind of similar, but also kind of opposite, if that’s not too oxymoronic for everyone. Yes, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There are only 8 games on this Friday’s slate with 6 games kicking off prior to 7 EST. It’s a rare size of slate for a Friday, with some advantages for those of us who can spot them. Logic tells us that ownership will become more concentrated on certain plays. Additionally, less opportunities for offense […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jace Jung was called up yesterday. In Triple-A, he went 14 HRs, .257 with 2 steals. Every Tigers prospect of the last five years had the exact same line. No, not literally, but if you were to tell me 14 HRs, .257, and guess if it’s Torkelson, Carpenter, Justyn-Henry Malloy, Dillon Dingler, Colt Keith or […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Stay. In. Yo. Lane. At times, one must but it is not something that should be admonished at all times. We Grow. We learn. The Universe morphs, forcing us to adapt. Even if I’m 90 years old, driving on the highway in the very right lane, if there’s someone driving 50 mph, you best believe, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people? Teams hungry for points have to be pleased with the recent performance of Jake Burger. He’s flashed some upside before, especially in the power department. After all, he did smack 34 bombs last season. Batting average won’t ever be pretty, but hovering in the .250 range is perfectly acceptable if he’s hitting dingers like he has the past two seasons. With 22 so far, he should come real close to his 2023 total and if he gets hot he could super size that number.
