What’s the most annoying thing a teenager can do? I’m going with “I’m not touching you,” when they’re like an inch away from you. Just so annoying. Another top annoying thing? When you’re mad, they know you’re mad, and you say, “No, I’m not mad,” then they say, “Ooh, you’re so mad!” Actually, that might […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?In our 144th episode, Mike Couillard and Jeremy Brewer discuss another rash of hamate injuries before discussing a basic how-to guide on initial steps to sell baseball cards.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Building a dynasty trade plan of any kind can be tricky because most of the players are already on rosters, which means there is no objective context. Some dynasty teams just won’t make trades, so the players they have are pretty much off limits to everyone else in the league for the duration of their career. Other teams will avoid trading with specifically you/me for any number of reasons: response time, evaluations on specific players, evaluations in general, approach to trading vis a vis Everyone Can Be a Winner versus more of an Optimus Prime approach: One shall stand; one shall fall, kind of thing. I think you’re much better off seeking an everyone-can-win kind of deal. It leads to future trade opportunities and faster trades in general when people in the league know they can bring an idea to you and more often than not walk away with a trade they feel good about.
Please, blog, may I have some more?On this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we break down a wave of prospect promotions as several intriguing young bats arrive in the majors. We discuss the fantasy outlooks for Braden Montgomery, Cole Carrigg, Cooper Pratt, and Blaze Jordan, including which call-ups are worth immediate attention and which may require a more cautious approach. The […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Saw Jose Ramirez‘s injury and thought to myself, “Yeah, JoRam gets injured and comes back in roughly 24 hours.” Well, yeah, no, I was wrong. Yeah, no. It happens. Sometimes I “Yeah, no.” Jose Ramirez has a broken hamate bone. I still think every pitcher should have Tommy John before taking the mound for the […]

We have a fun mix of call-ups and vets in this edition of Fact or Fiction! Sadly, we are desperate for fantasy baseball upside across the landscape after a brutal week of injuries. Jose Ramirez, Oneil Cruz, and Vinnie Pasquantino all broke their hands in the past few days. Also, Corey Seager, Randy Arozarena, and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Konnor Griffin grabbed all the headlines Wednesday afternoon when news broke that his promotion was imminent and that Pittsburgh was deep into contract talks with the 19-year-old shortstop, who ended up signing for nine years and $140 million, beating Colt Emerson’s days-old record for a player who hadn’t debuted ($95 million) by a healthy margin but surrendering two years of free agency in comparison to the one that Emerson signed away. Tough to dislike this one for either side, I think. We’ve seen recently that these kinds of deals can be torn up and rewritten if both sides are happy with their situation. By which I mean the fear that a young player will get ripped off in this kind of transaction feels overblown. If he really does outperform the contract, he could probably get a healthy raise in exchange for another year of free agency, which is what you’d want to do anyway if you’re building a family and enjoying your life where you’re living it.

1. OF Roman Anthony | 19 | AA | 2025
Anthony charged to the top of this group with a superb season in 2023. A left-handed hitter at 6’2” 200 lbs, Anthony slashed .272/.406/.466 with 14 home runs and 16 stolen bases in 106 games across three levels, finishing with ten dominant games in Double-A (.343/.477/.543) after slugging .569 in 54 games at High-A. I include the full-season line here along with the particulars because the full season tells the story of a player improving in a hurry. He slashed just .228/.376/.317 with 38 walks and 38 strikeouts in 42 games at Low-A but started driving the ball in Boston’s friendly High-A setting, where he drew 40 walks with 70 strikeouts (30.6 percent) in 54 games. He then struck out just six times in the ten Triple-A games. Man that’s a lotta stat salad. I’m just trying to say he’s a player in flux and reminds me a little of Ronald Acuna at this stage in the sense that he’s got more than one path ahead of him as a hitter and could become a total-package type who slashes .300/.400/.500 on the regular. He’s also quick enough to swipe some bags in the go-go era. Snagged 16 in 23 attempts this season but got caught just once in six tries between High-A and Double-A. I’ve got his ETA as 2025 here, but that can change in a hurry if Boston is competitive and Anthony is on his game.

Please, blog, may I have some more?For this list, I used the players’ ages as of July 9, 2023.
The cut-off lines for eligibility were 130 at bats for hitters and 50 innings for pitchers.
76. Mets SS Ronny Mauricio | 22 | MLB | 2023
Breakout season began in winter ball but has been complicated by the club’s efforts to find its best lineup. Probably should’ve been playing big league second base a long time ago. Jeff McNeil was a nice find, but he’s 31 years old with a .324 slugging percentage. He’s essentially Luis Guillorme without the cool infield defense. How any club lets him block a bonus baby coming into his own is beyond me.

Remember when you could play as Yoshi for the first time in a Mario game? Maybe it was Mario Tennis. Maybe you could count riding him in that first SNES game? Remember how great it felt to win a Mariocart race as Yoshi?
Boston members.
Though they lack a truly elite prospect, the Red Sox have assembled an exciting group of hitters that should matriculate to Fenway in waves over the next few seasons. Best system I’ve seen here in four years doing these lists. Took me a long time to whittle down to these top ten.
