Athletics SS Jacob Wilson’s major league debut ended after just one at bat thanks to a hamstring injury that sent him to the injured list for about two months. He’s back up with Oakland now, singling and scoring a run in his return. He’s a curious piece for our game: a plus hitter without the extreme speed or power we love to see in a prospect. One huge plus: his glove at shortstop buys him lineup real estate even if he’s not hitting, and so far he’s been hitting everywhere he’s been as a professional. When Oakland plays in a kinder run-scoring environment over the next few years, Wilson will be their shortstop and potentially their leadoff hitter. In case it’s not clear at this point, I find him difficult to evaluate for dynasty purposes, but I’m more optimistic than pessimistic.

Hello Razzballeroos. Back after a week hiatus out in Vegas. I’ve been back for 48 hours and I still have the shakes. Not sure if my body is still in detox, or if I am just excited to be catching up on all the MLB action and the articles over here at Razzball. I apologize […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As the summer progresses, we all make good moves and bad moves, good decisions and cringe-worthy ones. Long term decisions have to be taken much more seriously and the mistakes can compound. Take for example my personal life. No, not the entire thing you sicko. Just my online writing part. See, I’m not what they […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Corbin Burnes is having a miserable month of August. I am not going to let that deter me from starting one of the best pitchers in baseball tonight. It’s not often you get a starting pitcher like Corbin Burnes for $8,700. At the same time, there aren’t many pitchers worth $8,700 who have an 8.71 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, Jose Tena went 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 1st homer. His last name you might remember from when you used to ask your dad for money. “Can I get $20?” “How about a Tena?” Tena spent roughly seven years in the minors and looked to be hitting well as far back as Rookie Ball […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Dylan Crews week, Razzballers! Hope you were able to snag him in every RCL except the ones I am playing in with you. Twenty-two weeks are in the books and we’ve got five weeks left to go. We’ve finished 80.7% of the season. If you’re planning to hit the 1400 IP max, you should […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s Tuesday and we only have 9 games on the main DraftKings slate. The research is going to be easier to sort through, but with fewer games on the slate, it’s always important to remember that ownership can congregate, and in a game where we are playing for first place (because tournament winnings are top […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?On this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don start the show discussing the most questionable extension of all time and Joey Votto’s retirement. Is the Nationals new call-up Dylan Crews a must add in all leagues? Do the accomplishments of Shoehei Ohtani and Aaron Judge earn them the top 2 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hey, how’s everyone doing? Why am I icing my ankle? I’ll explain: Jumping on a couch for the promotion of Crews, when I fell, spraining my ankle, because I was showing off by doing my own enthusiasm. That’ll teach me to do my own enthusiasm. [plays Mission Impossible theme] Dylan Crews (0-for-3, as he hit […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! I believe it was on this week’s pod that BDon razzed Grey about using references from the 80s, pointing out “That was forty years ago, Grey”. Well, don’t worry my Bo-Bichette-bashing-buddy, I’ve managed to bring our readers way back to the future…with a music reference that I thought was at least […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Rays got Stone’d yesterday. Not as in they thought it was Max Munchies, and giggled for an hour straight. Not as in they showed too much knee and al-Qaeda stoned them. Not as in they were a fan of The Beatles than they matured into an adult, stopped liking kiddie music, and heard the much […]
