Depending on your league’s settings, you are likely 1-2 weeks away from the fantasy playoffs. Whether you’re fighting for your life or coasting at the top of the standings, odds are you’re already dealing with injuries that challenge your survival. If not, there is a strong likelihood you will be soon. Injuries, after all, are […]

Welcome back to the Jhosty/Nxon interviews. I’m your host David Brinkley and I just want to catch those of you up who are just joining us. Last week on Jhosty/Nxon, the Red Sox were having Jhosty/Nxon take reps at 1st base, and internally they were talking about promoting him. Then, after a break-in at the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In the Bible, Jacob was a monumental figure. He wrestled with an angel and was eventually given the name Israel. He is referred to as a Hebrew patriarch of the Abrahamic religions. Jacob Lopez of the Athletics is on the opposite end of the spectrum. He was selected in the 26th round of the 2018 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In reality, it’s probably a little too early to start looking seriously toward next season, but that’s what fantasy degenerates do. On the serious side, thinking through where players are likely to be picked this coming year compared with where they were picked this last year is an extremely valuable exercise in terms of finding potential value to profit from next year. If we can predict an approximate ADP for certain players, we can already determine if those players are going to be interesting to us based on cost. Fantasy leagues are won through the simple act of getting more value for a pick than the ADP would suggest.

Please, blog, may I have some more?These days are reserved for the true cheapskates. If a minor leaguer is good enough to stress the pricing mechanisms in place to suppress his salary, the cheapskate team is obligated to keep him on a minor league contract as long as embarrassingly possible. How can you not be romantic about Baltimore promoting Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo on back-to-back days just after crossing the invisible barrier between trying to win games and trying to spend as little as possible for as long as possible. Or perhaps it was pure coincidence that they were both ready for the next challenge on the same weekend just in time to preserve their rookie status for 2026. It could happen.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m back in my first week of school, AKA easy yet soul sucking meetings and sitting around. One thing that I do appreciate, we get permission to use bathroom breaks at any time. And yes, the bathroom breaks are very long and don’t always involve using the bathroom. With rules and school returning, we have […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Everybody wants to talk about Michael Harris II aka Megahertz, so let’s talk about him. Michael Harris II (1-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 16th homer, 2nd homer in two games, and 3rd homer in a week) is hitting around .400 in the 2nd half with 10 HRs and a 1.100+ OPS. In the 1st half, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We’re going to be short and sweet this week since your Razzball Commenter Leagues host is currently on vacation with the fam. I’m bumping around Grey’s old stomping ground, taking in all the Jersey shore has to offer. I have just returned from enjoying some frozen custard from Kohr’s and managed to fit in a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Oh look, the service time deadline mysteriously passed… and suddenly, every top prospect is ready for the bigs! What a coincidence! In this episode, we dive into the post-deadline flood of promotions across the league. Baltimore calls up top prospect Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers, who’s been cruising in Triple-A. The Cubs bring up Owen […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Bryce Harper went 3-for-6, 3 RBIs and his 20th and 21st homer. He’s at the precipice of having a solid year. Precibryce? Yes, that’s the ticket! If he gets to 30 homers and 80+ RBIs, we can write off most of his down year as the result of missing a month. Nine homers and […]
