Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! I teased this a bit last week, but, as anticipated, things have been full out chaotic in MarmoLand for the past 7 days. Between coaching U13 soccer games, (or football to those of you who are from across the pond), two separate U13 and U10 baseball teams, a school Junior 3-pitch […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! We’re officially into JUNE and, as such, we’re just over a third of the way through the Major League Baseball schedule. Spring rains are getting their last downpours in, the kids are getting ready for the end of the school year (more on that next week), and Lance McCullers is romancing […]

The results have been really solid across the last month, and last week was another good week. Ryan O’Hearn has been magical as one of our streamers over the last few weeks, and he’s finally getting rostered universally. Our biggest goal throughout the season is to stumble into must-roster players like that because the better […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! We’re a week away from Memorial Day ( I looked it up) but around here, the kids are off school for Victoria Day. Or as my youngest so eloquently summed it up: “Wait, so an old English lady who was a queen or something died and we get a day off […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Is there any better feeling in the fantasy baseball realm than picking up a Starting Pitcher on draft day that you just know is going to outperform his cost?  That $1 pick at the end of the auction draft to round out your rotation. Or maybe he’s your 40th-round pick that […]

Wow, has it already been a week since the first installment of the 2024 Top Keepers was unveiled? Time flies when the baseball playoffs are in full swing.

Last week I looked at the top relievers to keep (2024 Top Keepers – Relievers). This week the focus is on starting pitchers.

Like relievers, starting pitchers can be a little inconsistent from year to year, making it tough to nail down the top keepers. I went pretty deep this year with a list of 85, allowing for a nice mix of veteran pitchers and young up-and-comers.

That said, I’m sure I missed some pitchers you probably like more and listed players higher than you think they deserve to be.

However, I like the list I have put together and I hope you find it useful as you build your fantasy staff.

Now let’s get on with the rankings!

In the biz, we call this an “In Appreciation Of” post. This is in appreciation of Tildaddy. The one and only: Ronald Acuña Jr. (4-for-8, 3 runs, 4 RBIs and a double slam (14, 15) and legs (29), hitting .333). Tildaddy says you are done with your chores! Scientists should get together Ronald Acuña Sr., Fernando Tatis Sr., Bobby Witt Sr., Michael Harris I and other former players, who have elite MLB sons, and let them study them. Like the movie, Concussion, but call it Cushion Pushin’. Tildaddy is running away with the top spot on the Player Rater, and–Well, one of his home runs yesterday went 461 feet and it looked like he was barely swinging. Put that together with a guy who might have 45 steals by the All-Star Break, and we’re looking at a possible 40/70 season. I just nearly fainted. I need to sit down. Sits in a hole labeled “People who faded Acuña in the preseason.” Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
