On this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don are here to recap the 2024 season. Before we get into that, we have to talk about CJ Abrams being sent down and Ohtani going 50/50 (and more). We talk about how Grey is doing in the expert leagues and lessons learned […]

Grey and B_Don are here for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast! This week is a bit of a downer as we go over all the big injuries from last week. A moment of silence for all the fantasy baseball owners of Spencer Strider, Shane Bieber, Eury Perez, and Trevor Story. Don’t forget […]

Grey and B_Don are back to go over the (almost) end of season player rater rankings. We discuss how the top 4 on the Player Rater aren’t necessarily the typical power and speed combo guys we’ve seen in recent years. What does that mean for 2023, if anything? While we’re on the topic of the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?B_Don is guest hosting so that Grey has an easy target to make fun of all show. The Cubs fan of the group has to discuss the combined no hitter that Craig Kimbrel didn’t know about…? Grey walks you through is backwards Tout Wars team and, “he’s saying there’s a chance” that he could still possibly come away with #4 (Fred Zinkie, did your ears ring?). Grey’s BOLD prediction from the pre-season has come true, but can you now , but B_Don is still disappointed months later that his bold prediction was rated lower.
Then, it’s on to spin rates and a bunch of guy’s sticky substances. Are either of the guys looking to trade Gerrit Cole or anyone else? Next, we take a look at some of Rudy’s rest of season projections and where the guys fall on Wander Franco, Juan Soto, Gleyber Torres, and Alec Bohm. We finish up the pod with Grey giving you some waiver wire targets and some quick bullpen discussion with a few teams facing some turnover.

As the season begins to wane, Dr. Easy — my fantasy baseball partner-in-crime — and I decided to look back to the beginning of the 2017 season while at the same time looking ahead to next season (and boy, do we have neck ache!). We wanted to compare the Razzball Pre-Season Player Rater (PS PR) top 12 players versus the top 12 right now per the Razzball Season-to-Date Player Rater (STD PR), look at discrepancies, and learn what lessons there are to learn (if any there are) for next season: which players to reevaluate in light of what they’ve done for us this year. Who’s still riding high; who’s sunk to depths not hitherto foreseen? This is the first installment.

Another week, another trawl through the Razzball Season-to-Date Player Rater, as Dr. Easy and I look for some sneaky-value position players who may be doing better than you think they are, as well as players you may be hanging onto out of nostalgia or inertia or some other word that ends in “-ia”. Paranoia? Melancholia? Pedroia? Suburbia? Fuschia? MIA? Victoria? Amnesia: “Oh ya, I forgot I had that guy!” (That last one actually happens to me all the time.) Here goes!

We like baseball. We might even love baseball. But we love fantasy baseball more.
If you read this site at all, this should not be news to you. We do not pretend to be a general baseball site. We do not pretend to write like general baseball writers or general baseball fans. Our focus and point of view has been irrevocably bastardized through the tainted prism of fantasy baseball fanaticism (and the fact that we are smart asses).
Much like you, the vast majority of our baseball-related surfing is focused on day-to-day management of our fantasy baseball teams. Over the years, I shutter to think how much time that Grey and I pored through player news, game logs, player stats, etc. trying to find information that could help our teams.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I already explained what this series of entries is about in last week’s article. If there’s one thing we stalkers hate, it’s locked doors… but if there’s another thing we hate, it’s paper shredders. My point is, somewhere on that list of things we hate is having to explain ourselves, so click that link if […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Not sure how many of you knuckleheads explore this site, but in the top header under ’08 Rankings, which has the 2008 Fantasy Baseball Rankings, our Fantasy Baseball 10 Team Player Rater and our Fantasy Baseball 12 Team Player Rater. So now instead of downloading a clumsy Excel spreadsheet, you now have it all at […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Back in the pre-season, we launched a new player rater methodology called Point Shares to estimate fantasy baseball player value. There aren’t a lot of Player Raters to be found other than ESPN (Y! and CBSSports.com don’t have ones) but we feel ours is better because it factors in variables like a player’s position (e.g., […]

Back in the preseason, we launched a new method for rating players called Point Shares. The objective was to create a methodology that converts player’s projected or real stats into a metric that would allow for easy comparisons across players. The metric we settled on is deceptively powerful – Roto points. Assuming you have a […]
