With the All-Star break now a distant memory… which I guess doesn’t make much sense, seeing as how it just happened roughly a week ago. Well, it could make a lot of sense if I have a terrible memory, which certainly could be the case. Because alcohol. The lesson here? Idiom’s are just as dangerous as alcohol consumption. And also having terrible recall. What were we talking about again? Regardless, we have now entered into full trade season pandemonium, PANDEMONIUM I TELL YA! Conor Gillaspie never saw it coming folks. Never. Saw. It. Coming. Scott Kazmir might have though, but I can’t confirm this. I also can confirm that if you are lagging in the standings, there is still some time left to inject something into your roster. I’d prefer it not be illegal substances, but rather try brainstorming some crazy trade ideas and go for it. In all redraft leagues, you should be going all in right now, and hey, if those wild roster changes don’t work, at least you gave it your best effort and didn’t go out quietly. And then you can do those illegal substances. And then play some fantasy football! Wait, what were we talking about again?
Follow me after the jump to take a look back at what was week 16 AND a look forward on all things Razzball, including some player suggestions for next week, straight from Razzball’s Streamonator, Hitter-Tron, and DFSBot!
This Past Week…
Mike led off the week going over his Prospect Power Rankings. I’m curious though, what actually powers them? Hunh? ANSWER ME THAT BATMAN. Not sure what Batman has to do with it, but whatever. He also talked about ROS value of rookies.
David had the rundown of this weeks injuries you should be keeping track of and also turned a spotlight in Kyle Hendricks general direction. I’ll turn a spotlight in your general direction baby. Mmm.
J-FOH, turning over a new (probably temporary) leaf had just one hyperlink in his intro for the Top-100 Hitters. I’m proud of you J-FOH. Turning over leaves seems really therapeutic. Oh, wait, nevermind, you had like 83,456 links in your RCL Update.
JB Gilpin and Grey talked about Aaron Nola, Kyle Schwarber, all topped with some Mitch Moreland hate during last week’s Pod. He also celebrated the 198th time he’s hyped Patrick Corbin in his Top-100 Starting Pitchers rankings.
Lance broke down the possible trade deadline closers in his weekly SAGNOF Report.
Magoo broke down (not literally. If so, someone send an ambulance…) Kyle Schwarber, Randal Grichuk, and Chris Carter in his Waiver Round-Up, and then focused on Matt Kemp to figure out if he was done with the baseballs. I have my fork ready, that’s for sure.
Paul figured out who the most under-drafted player of the last five years was. Surprise, it wasn’t Mike Trout.
And Smokey had your Bullpen Round-Up, and Malamoney had your Points League Round-Up.
Next Week…
The Streamonator really likes Mike Fiers, rating him as the 18th best pitcher next week at just 61% owned. If you need someone a bit easier to nab for a streaming option, Drew Hutchison is your 29th best pitcher next week at just 42% owned.
The Hitter-Tron has Chris Coghlan (who J-FOH recommended this week) as a great pick-up, ranked as the 43rd overall hitter and just 11% owned.
And be sure to check in everyday for our Daily Fantasy content, led by Sky and company. They’ve been bringing you all the tips and strategy you need to win that cash-monies. Our DFSBot is also there to help guide your way to that aforementioned cash-monies. Mmmm, cash-monies.
Want more of the Jay? Don’t we all folks? Don’t. We. All. Well, you, in fact, can have more. AMAZING. I know. You can find Jay enjoying his dig’s over at the Football side of Razz.
