Welcome back to another weekly review for everything that was Razzball this past week. I’m always of the opinion that every week is better than the last, but that’s mostly because I know your mother. Which is apt, seeing as how tomorrow, you and I will be celebrating the fact that your mother gave birth to you, raised you, and made sure you always carried around a sweater, even when it was a sweltering 90 degrees with humidity. You know, because just in case. You mother even loves you despite taking up valuable storage space in her basement. You are her lovable storage space. DEEP. So while we take a moment this Sunday to celebrate everything your mothers have done for you, just remember, I’m here celebrating what your mothers have done for me. There. I’ve done it. An entire lede as one big “your mom” joke. I hereby retire.
Follow me after the jump to take a look back at what was week four 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…
J-FOH keeps on rankin’ folks (I’m going with cowboy inflection there, I think. Could also be 40’s era villain, YAH SEEEEEE), giving you Week 5’s Top-100 Hitters. (And if you want more J-FOH, you should check out his RCL Update.) JB Gilpin is hot on his trails though (no accent, just an overused idiom) with his Top-100 Pitchers. You guys really like ranking, hunh?
Grey and JB were kind enough to invite onto the RazzPod, but I should have known there was an ulterior motive. All they had me do was talk about the Padres. So, instead, we talked about Tehol. And then the Padres. So I guess we all lost.
This past weeks SAGNOF special was special indeed (we don’t lie folks!), as Lance went over some speedy prospects and also patted himself on the back for telling you to buy Jake Marsinick early on.
Big Magoo went over the waiver wire, giving you thoughts Josh Reddick, Adam Lind, and Adam LaRoche (one of my buys for this year as well, you should definitely read this piece. Totally has nothing to do with him agreeing with me. Nothing at all.) Then he talked a bit about Big Papi, wondering if David Ortiz is here to stay FOREVER.
Rudy took a break from inventing new math by letting us know that our Player Pages have been updated. For all the new thingamajigs, check out the rundown…
Paul stopped by to share with us new ways on how to take over the fantasy sports world with technology. Here’s the part 2 of how to use Yahoo’s API to your benefit.
Do you like Game of Thrones? Do you like Domonic Brown? Do you like not liking Christian Slater? Do you like dat sexual inuendo? Then you’d probably like Tehol and his Disgrace/Delight series, and he had a lot to say about Stephen Strasburg this week.
Smokey updated his Closer rankings and gave some advice on how to handle owning Cody Allen. Surprisingly, rope was not involved.
And Malamoney ended the week with his Points Leagues round-up, going over some pitchers including Felix Hernandez.
Next Week…
The Streamonator really like Jeremy Hellickson, which is a bit strange, seeing as how Hellickson is a pretty terrible pitcher. But there he is, the 9th rated pitcher for next week. If you don’t want to take that risk (I wouldn’t), Tim Lincecum is rated as the eight best, and seems a bit safer. Or maybe a bit higher. Depends on whether or not you get the joke.
The Hitter-Tron has Yasmani Grandal in the top-50 hitters, and probably the easiest one to grab off the waiver wire. Grey had him as a buy, and I agree, as you should be streaming the catcher position if you didn’t draft an elite one. If you don’t want to carry two catchers, Marlon Byrd is set to have a good week.
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.
