Fun fact, Cameron Maybin has more home runs (2) than Matt Kemp (0). Also, Jedd Gyorko still sucks. More like Jerko, amiright? And while these are my own “Padres” problems, also commonly known as my “first-world problems”, in the context of fantasy baseball, there’s a lesson here to be gleaned. And you know how I like my gleaning… (At least your mother does). And that is, we are only two weeks into the season. No need to panic, no need to hyperventilate, and no need to drop Starling Marte. Unless you’re in a league with me. Then by all means, drop away. But remember, this is a long season, and there’s no need to make judgments that are irrationally based on just 10 games. Well, except that the Phillies and Twins are pretty terrible. Those judgments are just fine. Regardless, follow me after the jump to take a look back at what was week two 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…
Both J-FOH and JB Gilpin released their updated Top-100 Hitters and Top-100 Pitcher rankings, respectively. Which is suprising, because they are both such disrespectful people. Just kidding. To be perfectly honest, after spending some time with J-FOH and having many communications with Gilpin (communications), I have to say they are quite huggable. Such cute. Much wow.
And I guess Mondays on Razzball have been officially renamed to Gilpins (also sounds like a candy! From Idaho! Maybe!), since he also hosted Mike the local prospector (who also went over Dariel Alvarez in his Prospect Spotlight) and Grey on the RazzPOD. They talked about things like Billy Hamilton, some prospects and their power rankings, all mixed in with the usual amount of Grey cackle. (Which is 98%. I’m being conservative with that number.)
RotoLance went over some bullpen situations that may be unraveling, and wrote a bit about Jake Marsinick and why he might be a possible SAGNOF option. Speaking of bullpens, Smokey took an in-depth look at all the “Holds” situations around the league.
Big Magoo (who’s the Small Magoo?) took a look at C.J. Wilson and Mike Napoli and whether or not they are a piece of trash or an ocean treasure. And not to be outdone (by himself, I guess?), Magoo let you know if he’s buying or selling Marcell Ozuna.
Hey you! Did you watch the premier of Game of Thrones? If you didn’t, probably don’t read Tehol’s Disgraces and Delights of the week. It is most definitely not spoiler free as he went full GOT mode. And when you mix Tehol, GOT, and Domonic Brown, well, let’s just say there’s a lot of nudity and a lot of dragons. Indeed.
Blues talked about some former blue-chippers (mmm, blue chips) for OBP/OPS Leagues, Malamoney took a look at Robinson Cano for Points Leagues, and Seth went over Chris Coghlan in the context of Deep Leagues.
Next Week…
The Streamonator has Clayton Kershaw as your best pitcher next week. And don’t worry, I’ve already requested that it now be called “the Obviousnator”. That being said, a great streamer option could be Jake Peavy. He’s only owned at about 35% in most leagues, and he’s projected as the fifth best pitcher overall this upcoming week against Arizona. We have him projected for almost seven innings, six strikeouts and just two earned runs.
The Hitter-Tron really loves Mike Trout… again. He’s your top hitter next week for the second week-in-a-row, and will probably be there for the rest of eternity. But it’s still showing a bunch of love for Yonder Alonso. I had nothing to do with it, I swear! He’s ranked ahead of Kyle Seager, Jay Bruce, and Todd Frazier, and is pretty much available everywhere, even in one of my leagues where you’re only allowed to roster players with the last name “Alonso”.
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.
