It has been a pretty hectic week for your resident Cookie Shop proprietor. A significant amount of baking has been involved, fittingly enough. So we shall dispense with the preamble this week and get straight into what you’re here for. What follows are our projections at time of writing as to who will be making […]

In the least shocking thing if you were paying attention to anything to do with Spencer Torkelson, he was optioned to Triple-A. He had the 2nd lowest OPS in history for 1st basemen (.683), minimum 1200 PA. Yeah, things weren’t going great! Sad for the Comatose Tigers fan from 2020 who just woke, “Tork The […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! For this week’s installment of Top 100 Starting Pitchers, I decided to give us all a peek into the darkness that is “The Next 100”. The shadowy realm of the next 100 starting pitchers isn’t nearly as deep of an abyss as the one that houses the pitchers that follow these […]

Top 100 Starters for 2024 Fantasy Baseball
February 5, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Featured | 76 Commentsby: Grey
This is the top 100 starters for 2024 fantasy baseball? This is the top 100 starters for 2024 fantasy baseball! Which means. Dot dot dot. This is the end of the 2024 fantasy baseball rankings. I can reclaim my fingers! Wait, I still have to do the top 100 overall and top 500 overall. Hmm, that was short-lived.
Please, blog, may I have some more? Bassitt Gets His Groove Back
September 28, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 206 Commentsby: Grey
Nice to see a team (the Jays) that has to play well actually play well. Feels like a rare thing this final week. It’s been like teams have been taking must-win as a challenge and saying, “Prove it!” Or like a spiteful child saying, “I don’t want to must win, you must win!” Chris Bassitt (7 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 3.60) went out and must-won’d his behind off, and, from what I know of Bassitts and their rear porches, there were some dramatically wide swings and they smelled some other dog’s butts. Maybe that analogy got away from me, but you can’t spell analogy without anal. Hey now! Just opened Chris Bassitt’s player stat page, and you’re never gonna believe this, but what he’s done for the last six years? He’s doing it again! Wild, right? Chris Bassitt has made a career out of being criminally underrated. Look at his stats: 8.4 K/9, 2.7 BB/9, 3.60 ERA, and guess where he ranks for starters on the year on the Player Rater. That’s top 20 starter numbers. He will barely be a top 40 starter in drafts again in 2024. Underrated, always. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more? Justin Steele Looks Stainless Against Streak-Free Giants
September 5, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 158 Commentsby: Grey
There’s no point in me pointing out that I wrote a Justin Steele sleeper this preseason. It’s so long ago now! So much has been written since then! Has anything, perchance, been written that was that illuminating that the Pulitzer committee, all 12 people in Switzerland, all drafted Justin Steele in their fantasy leagues? Does it matter that people, who have been stopped on the highway doing 120 MPH, have been allowed to leave after showing the police officer my Justin Steele sleeper? Does it matter that my Justin Steele sleeper has made advancements in medicine to cure the hiccups? No! None of this matters! What matters is I wrote that gee-dee post, snitches! Yesterday, he went 8 IP, 0 ER, 2 hits, 2 walks, 12 Ks, lowering his ERA to 2.55. But that doesn’t even matter! The hiccups are now gone! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more? Oh Baby! The Jays Have Something In Schneider
August 7, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 280 Commentsby: Grey
Hol’ hol’ hol’ up! Jays manager’s name is John Schneider, and they just happened to find a replacement for the three-hole in their lineup named, Davis Schneider? This seems suspect! What’s also got me sniffing the waiver wire saying, “That’s fishy,” what did they put in Schneider? He’s the first player in MLB history with two homers and nine hits in his first three games. Reranking in my head for 2024 fantasy, “Acuña, Davis Schneider, Ohtani.” Davis Schneider not number one overall? No, okay? Not yet! Maybe after this week! So, Davis Schneider did all that bombing out of Fenway, and, in Triple-A, he went 21/9/.275 with a 21.9% strikeout rate. I get it, he was a bit old for the level, but, at 24, it wasn’t like he was Joey Meneses. Not to mentionese, did we forget last year with Meneses? Sometimes guys come up, and hit for two months until pitchers figure them out next year. Schneider has no prospect pedigree, but I’d grab him in any league until he stopped hitting, or until we find out he’s John Schneider’s kid, and, as we learned in Little League, he’s only hitting third because of daddy. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more? Brewers Filming Season 3 Of Better Call Sal
July 24, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes, Featured | 272 Commentsby: Grey
Sal Frelick (1-for-3, 1 run) was promoted by the Brewers, and hit cleanup because you can’t stop the fun. The fun will overtake you, trample you, stampede you into oblivion if you try to stop the fun. The fun will stand on your head as you scream for your life if you try to stop it. Wow, fun doesn’t sound so fun. Yikes, glad I don’t have fun. I’m serious business and this callup is the same. I gave you a Sal Frelick fantasy just a few weeks ago where I told you to stash him, now I’m saying grab him. He was just in Itch’s top 25 fantasy baseball prospects. Itch said previously, “(Frelick is a) hit machine. Walked (8.8%) more than he struck out (7.4%) in 46 games at Triple-A, slashing .365/.435/.508 with four home runs and nine stolen bases. I have no idea why he didn’t get called up last year, and I’d like to call up a hit man to take out you-know-who.” C’mon man! Frelick is a grab in every league. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

We’re inching toward the MLB trade deadline and the anticipation is starting to grow. The biggest question on everyone’s mind: Will Shohei Ohtani be taking his unique set of skills to another team, or will the Angels actually be buyers and try to add pieces around him? We all know how this works, every discussion […]

FAAB Week 16: Full Stream Ahead
July 16, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball | 11 Commentsby: Mike Couillard
I spent the first editions of this column preaching long-term vision and patience. Unlike football, baseball, and its fantasy appendage, is a marathon of a season. You’ll burn out from the whiplash of a given season if you’re constantly reacting to slight fluctuation in player outlooks. Well, it’s time to throw that all out the […]

Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! The end of May is always kind of a wake-up call for me when it comes to my fantasy teams, as it more or less marks the end of the first third of the season. Two months of baseball is enough, if nothing else, to see where your teams’ strengths […]
