Yesterday, Jonatan Clase (1-for-4, 1 RBI) was called up by the M’s with Canzone hitting the IL. Jonatan’s name cracks me up. Imaging the nurse filling out the birth certificate, “Jonathan with an H?” “Honatan? No. What are we, stupid?” So, Jonatan has lightning-fast speed. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! We’re officially half of the way through the MarmosDad version of our Top 100 Starting Pitchers list! And for this week, we’re headed back to the Tanner heap. And similar to our Bibee from last week, this Tanner is most certainly no Bad News Bear. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

Howdy again, folks. We’re a few weeks into the season, and a handful of rankings I made in the preseason, admittedly, look pretty dumb! There are also some folks who I am adamant I’m still right about. So, in the spirit of being taken down a peg or two, I wanted to take an opportunity (the first of many this season) to scarf down a heaping helping of humble pie on the middle infielders I think I was wrong about, while also offering a fair warning about one name who still seems too good to be true. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

Wanna quote myself for my biggest mention of Colton Cowser (1-for-3 and his 4th homer, hitting .441) this past preseason. I drafted a 15-team mixed league team in November, and took as my 5th outfielder, Colton Cowser ..read more

Injuries are the worst. That isn’t exactly breaking news, I know. But you know what else is the worst? Rain. Oh, sure, farmers will tell you we need it in order to grow the crops that allow us to eat. Your third grade teacher probably told you it’s a normal and necessary part of the water cycle. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

Week 1 was amazing, but Week 2 was filled with mixed results. Half of our pitchers performed, but we were delighted with the hitting streamers. I usually tend to do better with the pitchers, but there’s a ton of value on waiver wires right now since there’s so much we don’t know yet. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

Astros 1B Joey Loperfido (24, AAA) already has nine home runs in 12 games this season while the major league club is getting minimal production from Jose Abreu and Jonathan Singleton. Abreu is making $19.5 million this year and 19.5 again in 2025. He has a wRC+ of negative 32 in his 12 games this season. Here’s what I wrote about Loperfido when I ranked him my number one in my Houston Astros Top 10 Prospects for 2024 Fantasy Baseball:  “A seventh-round pick in 2021, Loperfido produced better than average lines at each step along the way until a difficult 32-game stint in Triple-A to close ..read more

Just like completing a house project (or IKEA bookshelf), finding the right information to help analyze waiver wire pickups is about having the right tools. The manual efforts with blunt equipment will always be available. You could employ that screwdriver, twisting every screw in with the torque generated from your forearms weakened by the modern ways of typing and scrolling. Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more

What an exciting week we just had. About three hundred more pitchers landed on the injured list as it appears everyone's elbow and forearm in baseball is now made of paper. In other news, Jackson Holliday was recalled from the minors and made his debut with the Baltimore Orioles. If you play in dynasty baseball leagues, then you already know all about Holliday and there is no need for me to tell you he is an up-and-coming dynasty player. If you don't know about Holliday, then all you need to know is that he is an up-and-coming dynasty stud who you should have on your roster. With Holliday now ..read more

Ambulance Chasers associates, let’s cut to the chase: it was a brutal week in injuries. Specifically, elbow injuries. I am up to my eyeballs in elbow injuries, and now my youngest cries out every night “Why is mommy gone?” and her dad tells her “Mommy went away because she could only rock back and forth in a corner repeating ‘The pitch clock! Please, blog, may I have some more ..read more
