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 […]

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.

Please, blog, may I have some more?So, this is a little unrelated to fantasy — don’t worry, we’ll get to stuff that is 100% unrelated in a second — but here’s the setup, Cal Quantrill (6 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 4.09) threw a good pitch to get Reese McGuire to pop-up and celebrated on the mound. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week marks the beginning of a bottleneck on the minor league baseball calendar.
The Arizona and Florida Complex Leagues will finish their regular seasons on Thursday before a brief playoffs. After the postseason, some of these players will head to a practice facility after a 50-game season. Some will get promoted to Low-A to continue their development via in-game repetitions. You can probably guess which outcome most players would prefer. It’d be a long off-season if you weren’t going to play an actual game again for about seven months.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s time for post All-Star Break SAGNOF Razzjiblets. I hope you are ready for a fun and exciting stretch run in fantasy baseball and that your teams are all doing better than mine are. I missed the cutline in Razzslam thanks to an awful week 16 performance. In RCLs my best position is 10th. Other […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Recently my family took me to Colorado. That’s a high elevation, especially when my home in Eastern NC is at 4 feet above sea level. It’s also a high elevation when you factor that they love to hike and I, well, tend to take after Gimli in Lord of the Rings while they are built […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This post is called giving flowers. I am at the headquarters for 1-800-Flowers, answering questions like, “Why didn’t I just call them?” and “What do you mean you don’t know our number?” and “If you’re allergic, that’s even more of a reason not to be here, isn’t it?” Questions like that! But you know what, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin, Razzpimples?! Remember to bookmark that Razzball Bullpen Chart, y’all! I update it obsessively.

Hittertron and Streamonator, etc. Let’s do it […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Just a quick hitter this week as we come out of the All-Star Break. Hope everyone is feeling energized for a the final 40% of the season. Because there is very little movement during a 3 day week, I’m going to take a look at the current stats that VinWins has collected and we’ll compare […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Can we officially do away with the notion that the HR Derby negatively affects its participants for the 2nd half? Teoscar went yard last night and Bobby Witt almost hit a cycle amongst his near perfect start to the 2nd half. The narrative does exist, however, that HR derby participants had to change their swing […]
