Hey there, good readers. You may have noticed there was no Cookie Shop last week. I apologize for that, but I was finishing off a long-distance drive returning home at the end of a family vacation, so it simply wasn’t in the cards. But we’re back now and ready for the run-in to finish off […]

We’re hitting our stride coming into the home stretch, like Cole Hocker trying to win the 1500-meter race. Putting the pressure on the rest of the field, Bobby Witt Jr. is doing his best to make the American League MVP race respectable. Hitting a cool .430 with seven homers and a combined 47 runs and RBIs over the last 30 days, he has us questioning everything about who should be the number one hitter for the rest of the season. As Witt shakes up the top of the order for our list this week, Jackson Holliday is also making up for lost time in Baltimore. Holliday burst onto the scene launching homers in three straight games to announce his arrival. How far up does the youngster climb the rest of the season? Stay tuned to find out in this weekend’s edition of the Top 100 Hitters for the 2024 fantasy baseball season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last week was full of mixed results, and one thing has become abundantly clear. The pitching atmosphere that we saw in the early months has disappeared in the Summer, with the offenses taking command in the second half. That’s shown in some of my results recently, but I feel great about this week’s streamers. With […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Dodgers RHP Edgardo Henriquez (21, AAA) missed last season due to Tommy John surgery but has recovered his easy-plus pitch mix and cruised through four levels already this season, recording 70 strikeouts in 41.1 innings along the way. Now he’s just one step away from joining an L.A. bullpen that could use an infusion of youth.
Please, blog, may I have some more?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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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.
So why do I think Fitzgerald is an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player? Because sometimes players are late bloomers. And sometimes it is imperative to have depth on your team. Fitzgerald fits both of those categories.

Jesse Winker who is right! Call also scored the game-tying run in the 8th inning and is now batting a real sweaty .459 (17-37) since being re-Called to the big league roster. Through those […]
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. You know who isn’t feeling festive? A lot of people whose names I will mention in this article. Luckily, it was a pretty light week of injuries, but there are quite […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Singing incredibly off-tune, “Oh honey, tramps like us! Baby, we were born to run!” Oh, sorry, I didn’t hear you walk in. I put on The Boss when I want clarity. It’s a Jersey thing, you may or may not understand. Born down in a dead man’s town! That’s Anaheim. A dead man’s town. It’s […]
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 […]
