We are roughly one-quarter of the way through this baseball season and a week does not pass without a frustrating amount of IL stints. I have teams on the NFBC with entire benches littered with red IL stints. There is nothing more painful than not having a fantasy IL for the real-life IL but it […]

Did you draft a starting pitcher this offseason? Well, congratulations! You now have a one-way ticket to the waiver wire in search of a replacement. This Spring may not be more or less brutal than any in the past but in the moment, it feels like the worst in years. Every day I wake up […]

Our stack choice last week came back to bite us as we were burned by the Braves stack. What else is new? The pitching choices were spot on, but I must be better at lineup construction. Hope you’re still with me on this as we give it another go. We’re going with our gut here […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?By now, many of you may have seen one of the video clips of Blake Snell quizzing the Padres broadcasters about wRC+. If you haven’t, the conversation goes something like this: Snell: “I’ve got a question for y’all” Broadcaster: “Sure” Snell: “On the board it said ‘Carp wRC+’ What does that mean?” Broadcaster: “I have […]

Good day All, If you’ve been focusing on the NFL Draft this week, I’m happy to report we’ve had another exciting week of baseball. The Mets combined to pitch a no-hitter against the Phillies this past Friday, Bryce Harper and Mike Trout earned their 10th year of MLB service time (I feel old), and yes […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good day, Razzball fam: Draft season has wrapped up and Opening Day weekend is finally upon us. Pitcher’s workloads are slowly ramping up from the abbreviated Spring Training (it’s so frustrating to see pitchers leave after not giving up hits or leaving after 75 pitches) and highly-regarded prospects such as Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodriguez, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to Tuesday DFS here on Razzball. Tuesdays are quite the task if you’re playing the main slate. 15 games on the docket today, including Coors and many other great hitting spots. There’s also a plethora of solid pitching options today and it seems paying for the top arms might be the way to go, seeing as there are 10 games with a total at or above 9.
Tonight’s choice on the mound will be a tough one but there should be multiple guys who could get you that 50+ number needed to cash out. We have Brandon Woodruff ($11,400) at home vs the Cubs as the highest-priced pitcher, followed by Robbie Ray ($10,800) at home vs Seattle, Kevin Gausman ($10,500) in L.A. opposite Walker Buehler ($10,000). Under 10K you’ll find Lucas Giolito, Jose Urquidy, Charlie Morton, and Trevor Rogers, all of whom are solid options.
Good luck tonight, and remember to stay positive and visualize that bankroll spiking like Bitcoin in April. Visualize your success! You HAVE to believe it to be true before it can happen. Go with your gut and do it with confidence. Let’s go!

When it comes to strategy in dynasty formats, I deploy an unorthodox approach. Depending on where you play and the roster rules that accompany your league, my method may or may not be feasible for you, but it’s simple. I do my best Dave Dombrowski impersonation, fully equipped with a suave, silver wig, a coating of Jurgen’s Natural Glow and a Palos Heights, Ill. birth certificate. What I mean by this, is I like to make win-now moves while my league-mates are busy competing for the strongest prospect pool award and salivating over the talent that is waiting in the wings, each one desperately trying to convince the rest of the league that they are the very best at identifying young talent.
If I’m in any position to win in any given year, I’ll happily dump a few prospects, even ones with top 100 status, for a veteran player with a lower career ceiling in order to help my chances. Like I said, this may or may not be a possible trade-off for you depending on your league rules, but I’ve seen all too many league-mates dwell in the cellar year-after-year, stockpiling more and more top 100 names and never getting the production they were waiting for. Win when you can win — and be willing to sell your highest-rated prospects. That is, except for the select few that you should stash and forget, and wait on no matter the circumstances. This does not necessarily mean honing in on the top 10 in the MLB 100, but rather identifying the players who are young and quickly developing skill sets you just know are going to play at the next level. The fantasy gems. They play loud. Think of Ronald Acuna during the 2017 season, before he became the No. 1 prospect in the game.
Today, I’ll go in-depth on three players you could make this type of argument for: Julio Rodriguez, MacKenzie Gore and Matthew Liberatore. I’ll provide detailed, unbiased data along the way, before providing my own brief opinion at the end regarding whether or not you should pack this player for the long haul. As a reminder, all the players I’ll go over today were previously requested in the comments section by the readers of Razzball. If there is a particular prospect you would like to see an in-depth profile for in the future, please feel free to voice such in the comments section. Now saddle up, take off your shoes and belt, and join me over at the TSA security check.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good Afternoon Baseball Fans, and welcome to today’s edition of Toilet Talk with Jared!
Nice six game slate tonight. This size slate is one of my favorites as it gives you enough options to choose from, but also few enough where do you have to overthink it too much. My day will start with Zac Gallen ($10,600). He’s expensive, but he’s been as consistent as any pitcher outside of Degrom and Darvish.

Good Afternoon DFSers and welcome to today’s edition of Toilet Talk with Jared!
Today’s going to be an interesting day for baseball. It’s TRADE DEADLINE DAY! Make sure you are paying close attention to lineups. While you may see some get scratched late, this also leads us to some possible value plays where we normally wouldn’t see them. My favorite pitcher tonight is Tyler Glasnow ($9,500) vs. the Yankees. This isn’t the same feared lineup without Stanton, Judge, Torres, and now Hicks. I expect Glasnow to take us to the profit land tonight.

Please, blog, may I have some more?We’ve got some great value plays today based on Rudy’s Robots (Bot 2) so there’s plenty of opportunity to put together a great lineup with some “discount” pieces. The bot’s top pitcher (Dinelson Lamet, SP: $9,300) for not the top price is always a good thing. He’s been blowing people away with some great K numbers (45 in 33 and a third) and has kept the walks in check (11). Lamet is breaking out and unlike most years, the Padres actually seem to know how to hit. Unfortunately they haven’t given him much run support while he’s on the mound, but that’s only a matter of time. He’s set up to dominate for you today.

So far the rook (Jake Cronenworth, SS: $2,600) is playing pretty good ball and the Padres actually have a solid offense. His positional versatility (and hot bat) should find him a spot in the lineup. Plus they run quite a bit and he really wouldn’t want to feel left out. Bonus, he’s got a fun name. And yes, I am stealing this title from one of our own. Totally Cronenworth it.
