Opening Day is almost here, and the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast is diving into the madness of early-season decision-making. With the first run of FAAB and waivers already in the books, Grey and B_Don are debating how quickly you should be adjusting. Are you already mixing things up or sticking with the team you drafted? We break down how aggressive fantasy managers should be before we even get a full week of games.
We also dig into early roster movement, injuries, and spring position battles that are already shaping the fantasy baseball player pool. From rotation spots being finalized to prospects getting sent down and unexpected names stepping into playing time, there’s plenty to sort through. We talk about how much interest to have in these early opportunities, whether it’s worth stashing players who didn’t make the cut, and how to handle injuries that are opening the door for short-term value.
To wrap things up, we run through our favorite spring training risers and fallers, separating what might actually matter from what’s just noise. There were plenty of big performances, velocity jumps, and eye-popping stat lines, but also some notable struggles. Which breakouts should you buy into, which duds are actually concerning, and how much should spring training really influence your rankings heading into Opening Day?

Hey B Don,
How would you rank these pitchers now that they have earned a rotation spot?
Early, Burrows, Messick, Sproat.
Are any an immediate add?
I’d scoop up Early immediately
Hi B_Don
I noticed that over the last few days that three pitchers have gone five innings with giving up only one hit and striking out five:
Matthew Liberatore
Luis Gil (sent to minors)
Zac Elfin
When Rodon goes on the IL list, would you pick up of any of the above three SPs,Jacob Lopez, Cade Cavalli or Casey Maze or a hitter and who to drop from the following?
Logan Gilbert
Jacob deGrom
Framber Valdez
Cam Schlitter
MacKenzie Gore
Tatduya Imai
Shane Baz
Grant Holmes
Mich Abel
Cody Ponce
Will Warren
Carlos Rodon DTD

THANKs!!!
You have a pretty solid staff already. I think I’d add Liberatore in the hopes that he’s found something over the offseason. I like Eflin more per my rankings, but you don’t necessarily need safe innings.
