With the RazzBowl is well underway, now might be the time you are getting weary of this whole fantasy baseball adventure. Hell, I don’t blame you, writing this in the 143rd Period of the RCL season. Admittedly, it’s a bit facetious to be comparing a daily fantasy baseball lineup to that of a weekly football […]

For most of the season, my look into Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players has obviously tended to feature young players who have upside. That said, I have mostly shied away from Top 100 prospects who are now in the majors.
Why? Well, if you are a veteran dynasty player or even new to this level of fantasy baseball, you should know about those players. There is a reason why they are listed as Top 100 prospects – they are expected to be very good.
This week I continue to avoid a top prospect who is now in the majors. But I am taking a left turn when it comes to highlighting a young player. That is because Tyler Fitzgerald is not a young player. Fitzgerald is 26 years old and turns 27 in September.
Fitzgerald has also never been a Top 100 prospect nor a Top 10 prospect in the San Francisco organization.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings to you, Razzball Fam! Listen, the title is a stretch this week, but I am feeling festive in these latter days of summer.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings all, and welcome to that special time of year we call draft season. No, not fantasy baseball draft season, but it’s much more popular (yet much more boring in my humble opinion) cousin, fantasy football draft season. The reason I mention it, is that it always seems like the first week of August or […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Those who read my first article will hopefully remember that I did a deep dive into the merits of wOBA and xwOBA while attempting to illustrate how they can be used together to help identify underperforming hitters. As great as it is to have two stats that can give you a quick snapshot view of every hitter’s […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Friday Night gives us a fun 13 game slate. As always, my process has highlighted a few spots that I am more interested in than others and a few potential spots where ownership may congregate in a way that will make those plays -EV. Let’s look at those ownership spots first. While I actually like […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello my dear friends. I apologize for the absence, but I was getting my butt into a master’s program (because one masters wasn’t enough), and then some family stuff popped up. There will be no grand introduction today, as I’m already seven minutes past my deadline. I’m happy to be back, but burdened by teams populated with Julio Rodriguez, Carlos Correa, and Nolan Jones.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The 2024 Major League Baseball season is about 20 weeks old (only two months left in the season!), which means we finally have meaningful numbers that count to start evaluating our fantasy squads. With only 27 weeks in the fantasy baseball season, even a few weeks of information should help guide us to decisions about […]
