Tigers Always Find Room Porcello
Rick Porcello won the 5th starter spot in Detroit over Smyly. Or Frownly, as the case may now be. Yawn. This is most unexciting news ever. This is like reading a Yelp review for The Cheesecake Factory. They have big portions. Yay. Who even writes Yelp reviews for The Cheesecake Factory? I want some of your free time, Cheesecake Factory reviewer. I don't like Porcello...
Razzball Writer’s League Draft Recap
So let me preface this piece with my first hipster moment in history: I've been doing Razzball Writer's Leagues since last year and by that I mean we had one on the Football side of Razzball. Don't believe me, click the link! We're still writing over there. If for some reason in all this baseball you've got a little hankering for fantasy football off-season...
The Razzball Podcast — The One Where Jonah Keri Drops By
So, there's this thing called conference call, and... We used it! You = mind blown. That's right all of you out in Razzball nation, Rudy and I are now on the podcast together. At one time. From different locations. Thank you, technology, now if I could only record one program while watching another one. You can. Hardy har, Random Italicized Voice, like I'm gonna...
RCL Update: March 26
We now have 62 full leagues! 51 leagues have already drafted. 447 different players have been drafted so far. Next week I'll have all the numbers in the draft recap. We're down to desperation time. I'm now trying to fill a LAST CHANCE RCL, drafting Saturday at 2 pm ET. Contact me if you are interested in getting in on that league. Or to be put on the waiting list in case...
Miller Time In Busch Stadium
And the Prospect Gods looked down at the Cardinals pitching staff and proclaimed, "And so it Shelby..." But the Gods decided to keep Oscar Taveras for themselves -- at least for a little while. Bunch of Federalist-loving pigs. So, the Cardinals make up for starting Jon Jay over Oscar Taveras by giving prospect, Shelby Miller, the 5th starter role over non-descript-in...
Deep Impact: Undervalued
If you missed it, we went over Overvalued players in last week's Deep Impact post.
This week, we’ll be going over guys I think are either going too low in drafts, or have some sort of stigma that's keeping their cost low – undervalued in their current state. Remember, it doesn't mean they are the elite bombz. Like I said last week, the most important aspect in advanced...
Battles To Watch: NL West
You can finally stop girding your loins – we’ve reached the final division in this position battles series. For reference, we've already covered the AL East, NL East, AL Central, NL Central, and AL West. Anyway, here’s some of the position battles to watch in the NL West:The post Battles To Watch: NL West appeared first on Fantasy Baseball Blog at Razzball.com.
Having Mottrimony Issues? Call Mitchell Boggs, Attorney at SAGNOF
If you're like me, once you finish your fantasy draft, you have a photographer take a picture of you with your team. You pull up your team page on your laptop, and the both of you sit next to a flower bed. The setting is similar to your mother's yearbook picture. The cameraman even uses the filter that blurs out everything around you. As you wait for the makeup person...

Handicapping Injured Players
Hold on, Alabama Shakes. This title isn’t meant for you to run out and take a crowbar to an injured player’s knee. Instead, I’m handicapping injured players in terms of their value. In a way, this is an expansion upon an article I wrote about how Corey Hart compares to Allen Craig. I’ve heard people argue that you can’t predict injuries, so you should draft players with...
Razzball Expert League – Rudy’s Team
We had our 2nd annual Razzball Expert League (aka RCL Expert League) on Tuesday night with Grey and I facing off against a field so formidable that I'll use the term 'experts' in single quotes instead of double quotes.
Here are the participants (in draft order) and a link to last year's standings:The post Razzball Expert League – Rudy’s Team appeared first on...
Bouncing Back: Relievers
Trying to find reliable relievers, especially closers, is like trying to catch squirrels with a hula hoop. Nobody wants to overpay or worse yet end up with a dud who kills your ratios and is always in danger of losing the gig. I’ll be rooting around on the waiver wire or in the final rounds of the draft this year for my saves so I’m not going to be the one to tell you to draft...
MLB Has Major Beef With RB’s PED Use
Here's a scenario: You are the burger flipper manager at your local burger flipping place. Someone comes to you and says Ryan Braun, your best burger flipping employee, is injecting his meat with HGH. That's why they're tasting so good, yells one of your other employees. You don't want to believe Ryan is doing this. His burgers are soooooooo delicious. All of...
Under The Greydar: You’ll Ryu The Day You Crossed Me!
I volunteered for this assignment, which if you knew me, would be considered a very extraordinary event. Just to give you some context, I find it difficult to volunteer out of bed. But I feel, scratch that, I know I have a compelling reason to write of our subject and I would like to share that reason with you, the readers. That reason is because... I am half-Korean. Dun-Dun-DUN...

It’s Been A Bad Week For Adverb Thumbs
The title of this post was nearly, "F*ck Luis Cruz." If that guy gets in the way of my last round draft pick of Dee Gordon, I'm gonna be none too happy! Or is that "I'm gonna be some unhappy?" While Hanley Ramirez is out with a thumb injury, I want Dee Gordon to play for a month and for the Dodgers to say they won't play Luis Cruz. I homophoned...

Starters To Target, 2013 Fantasy Baseball
Something that may help you is my pitchers pairing post. Something else that may help you is APPLES. Something else that might help you, our Fantasy Baseball War Room. Something else that may also help you is mocking A-Rod. One note before we get to the lede's lead-in, ESPN doesn't look they rank any starters. I have no idea where a bunch of these guys are on their list...
The Razzball Podcast — The One Where I Reveal My Connection To Madeleine Albright
My grandfather, who is 86 years old, Skypes with me all the time. He'll Skype with me when he's eating some braciola that he got from the deli down the street. Sometimes he'll Skype with me when he's not wearing a shirt, and simply calling me to ask how 'his pecs' look because he's about to Skype with one of his five girlfriends. Sometimes he Skypes...
RCL Update: March 19
We're currently at sixty completely full leagues. I now have a waiting list for future leagues. Contact me if you are interested in getting on the list, which has already proven very helpful after unexpected dropouts. Three leagues lost owners yesterday, but all were refilled in short order. And, if we collect enough names, a new free RCL will be set up. Feel free to include...
Headley Went From Awesome To Aw, Thumb
That title is very confusing if you have a lisper reading it to you. Why you're having someone else read it to you, let alone a lisper doesn't make any sense. You can't find a better-qualified Task Rabbit? Put down your soy capp-a-latte and find a better intern; you owe it to yourself. Last year, Justin Upton had a problem with his thumb. He hit 8 homers the first...
