We (the royal “we”) had a week off from this series, mostly because of the content overload last weekend. What a time to be alive! It’s no secret that we’ve had a great influx of content this season, some have been welcomed with open arms, and some haven’t. The circle of writing, if you will. But because there’s so much content, our goal with this series is to highlight, in an almost zen-like TL;DR summary, what exactly happened this past week in Razzball. You may ask yourself why it’s “in Razzball” and not “on Razzball” and the answer to that question is, would you rather want to be on something or in something? Don’t answer that actually, pretty sure that’s how we lost Tehol…
Follow me after the jump to take a look back at what was week one 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 Week
Ralph led off the week with his “Top-25” Fantasy Prospects update. From what I gather from the title, he updated his top-25 fantasy prospects. That’s right folks, not only am I handsome, I’m also quite astute. Later in the week, he went over Mike Clevinger, and this title was even more colorful and unique: Mike Clevinger, Fantasy Baseball Prospect. Ralph is a snowflake, no doubt about it.
J.B. thought America’s favorite game was “Ben Revere or Denard Span” on this week’s podcast, which makes me think that he’s never even lived in America. If he did, he’d darn well know that America’s favorite game is: “Who can get diabetes the fastest!”.
Hodysseus talked about Mallex Smith in OBP Leagues, Matt Truss went over your RCL Leagues, Malamud covered Justin Upton in his Points League recap, Smokey updated his Closer rankings, and M@ listed out and analysed all the two-start pitchers for this upcoming week.
Son went over some buys and sells thus far in his Whammies series, followed up with the top-100 Hitter rankings by M@ (translated into Matt for those who were born pre-1990) along with the top-100 pitchers from J.B..
Big Magoo went over Jeremy Hazelbaker and how he can cure your hemorrhoids… an internet advertisers dream scenario, I’m sure. Building off this click-generating endeavor, Malamoney went over Nintendos and hiding staches, or something like that. I’m sure Grey got something out of that. Later in the week, he covered Matt Harvey while struggling to tie-in Batman. Pretty sure we were late to the cross-platform synergy thingamajig timing with the Batman vs. Superman movie… good effort though!
Next Week
For some Streamonator action, I’d recommend picking Hector Santiago against Seattle or Clay Buchholz at Houston, Rudy’s wonder-machine has them at seven and nine, respectively. For deeper leagues, Jake Peavy (he hasn’t retired yet?) going against Miami is the 17th best matchup next week.
The Hitter-Tron really likes David Freese. It’s seriously like 28 100% owned players, then Freese at the 29th best hitter for next week, then like 15 more names at 100% owned. Jordy Mercer gets the award for having an ownership rate of 0% and ending up as a top-50 hitter.
