1. Guardians 2B Travis Bazzana | 21 With Bazzana, the Guardians get their most polished draft prospect in a long time, but he’s not a floor play by any means. At six foot even out of Australia, Bazzana has gotten stronger throughout his career in college ball and added significant impact to his plus-contact profile, […]

Those trade engines are fired up early for the July 30 deadline and might just make this entire piece worthless by the time those FAAB runs hit on Sunday night. Hell, just the flurry of moves in the last few days between Randy Arozarena going to Seattle, Austin Hays and Seranthony Dominguez swapping mid-Atlantic locales, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey everybody, welcome back to another edition of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players.
The player I want to focus on this week is not the prototypical player that I highlight. That is because Michael Toglia of the Colorado Rockies is basically a one-tool player.
But that tool – his power – is pretty solid. And when you are looking to add players with upside to your team at this point of the season, you are not going to find too many multi-tool players sitting on the free agent wire or even the trade block unless a team is trading a star for a big haul of prospects/young players.
That is not the case with Toglia. Right now he is owned in only 27% of Yahoo leagues and 9% of ESPN leagues. I think the time is right to jump on Toglia and enjoy the power he is going to add to your team.
Let’s look into Toglia a bit more to see why I consider him an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Baltimore Orioles made a huge stride in bolstering their starting pitching staff Friday trading for Rays starter Zach Eflin. About Eflin time! Eflin has struggled with consistency all season long with an unsightly 4.09 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and underwhelming 87/13 K/BB, but there have been flashes of the pitcher we saw in 2023 (3.50 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello there Razzball Fam! It was only a year ago that Jarred Kelenic did a dance with a water cooler and lost. You might say he….lost his cool. Just a few days after the one year anniversary of Kelenic’s Cooler Dance, Oakland’s Mason Miller became the most recent loser in a battle with an inanimate […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Greetings friends and readers, hope you are enjoying your summer both in real life and in the fantasy baseball realm. I honestly wasn’t expecting there to be so little trade news or even rumblings with less than a week to go before the deadline, but I suppose with the new playoff rules and the relative […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s never been more data for anything at our fingertips than what there is for us right now. Between this preponderance of data and the increasing competence of machine learning, there’s nothing we feel we can’t predict. Take the weather, for instance. While it’s an easy joke to fall back on that it’s just a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Dylan Cease (9 IP, 0 ER, 0 hits, 3 walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 3.50) throws a dandy, but you know what else? Dylan Cease is a dandy! Not the 1954 through present-day definition! I don’t know if he dandies like that. I’m saying he’s a dandy like the 1776 through 1953. During 1953 to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?That is both terrible and uplifting at the same time. You’re a liar if you say you didn’t crack a smile and pump a fist or two. Unlike Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli, Jose Iglesias of the New York Mets is not a one-hit wonder. He has 36 this season and 1,087 in his 12-year […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What is up party people? Who is the hottest bat in the majors right now and why is it Tyler Fitzgerald? Fitz may be the only guy hotter than Lawrence Butler (more on him later) right now with his home run binge. If he gets the chance to play everyday, and let’s be honest the Giants should run him out there to see what he can do, there might be more than just a hot streak here. Both power and speed were on display in the minors along with a fairly solid average with more strikeouts than you would like. He has defensive versatility and has seen time all over the field. He’s even taken the mound in three games but with no strikeouts and a 9.00 ERA you wouldn’t want to put him in your lineup there. The ability to play all over the diamond should help him get in the lineup and at least opens up the possibility that he could add to his shortstop and outfield eligibility at some point. Eligibility isn’t everything but it would add to his value, particularly in leagues with short benches.
