Last week, we started the conversation by looking at 20 hitters who could realistically enter the 2027 fantasy baseball season as candidates to be the No. 1 overall hitter. Now comes the harder part. Turning 20 names into 10. The goal is simple. Find the best combination of ceiling, floor, category coverage, and confidence that the production will actually show up. Fantasy baseball is a game of maximizing probabilities. The player with the most exciting outcome is not always the best pick. A hitter who can produce in five categories, stay on the field, and avoid catastrophic downside often provides more value than a player with a higher theoretical ceiling but more paths to disappointment.

Rolling In The Deep: More Regrouping
July 17, 2026 | 2026 Fantasy Baseball, Rolling In The Deep | 7 Commentsby: Laura Holt
Heading into the All-Star Break last week, instead of our usual search for deep league gems (or at least desperation help), we took a look at some surprising first-half hitter performances. Coming out of the break this week and before we return to our regular deep-league programming, I thought we’d do the same for pitchers. […]

Happy NOT Monday, Razzball faithful! Maybe it’s because this is happening on a Thursday, and my entire vibe has been thrown off, but I have a confession to make. And it’s a doozy. Oh. Oh no. Did your favorite Razzball Starting Pitcher writer really do the unthinkable? Retire from his lengthy career to spend more […]

Top 100 for the 2nd Half of 2026 Fantasy Baseball
July 13, 2026 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings | 238 Commentsby: Grey
Before we get into the top 100 for the 2nd half of 2026 fantasy baseball, let’s just be glad our 18-year-old selves can’t see us now, we’d get beat up! But our twelve-year-old selves would think we’re the coolest! So, as with all of the other 2026 fantasy baseball rankings, slop this up with a […]

Holding hands to eyes, sun blinds me, I turn back and call into the house, “Ma, how long is this break without baseball? Ma?” I realize now that I’m not emerging from my mom’s house. I’m emerging from a bunker. I had been in there longer than I imagined. I pick up a newspaper to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The All-Star break always feels like the perfect time to look ahead. Not to the second half of 2026 as that story is still being written. Instead, let’s jump ahead to next spring’s fantasy drafts. If the 2027 fantasy baseball season started tomorrow, who would you want with the first overall pick? That’s the question we’ll answer next week when I unveil my Top 10 hitters for 2027. Before we get there, though, we need to establish the player pool. This isn’t a dynasty ranking. Prospect pedigree doesn’t matter. Age only matters if it changes next year’s outlook.

Ryan O’Hearn (4-for-5, 10 RBIs and his 14th, 15th and 16th homer) did what they call in the business, The Swanson. The Swanson is when you’re box score is so full and you can’t eat another bite, then they hit another homer and, boy, now I’m not sure I can have dessert. The Swanson is […]

So, our dreams of a World Cup championship came to an end in the US. I was super invested for three games. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Belgium putting on such a show that you wouldn’t know their day started with them losing their unis and having to wear the Marlins city connect jerseys. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! It was a busy weekend in MarmoVille for your Top 100 Starting Pitcher writer. For the record, the photoshopped picture turned out WAY BETTER than the AI version did. And, yes, I’m representing the brand as well. Human interaction for the win! If anyone caught my Saturday morning stand-in for Dan […]

I put it off as long as I could. It’s not that I’m against rankings. I quite like reading them and using them. And I don’t have any problem doing them on a small-scale, position-by-position basis. But how the 5th best SS compares to the 13th best OF and the 9th best SP? How do […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The first week of July brings a weekend of organized chaos in MarmoVille!

Then, we’re back at it tomorrow with a Weird Al show on Sunday in Niagara […]
