Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast

Shortstop: the best position in fantasy… or is it just the least painful? On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we dive headfirst into the 2026 SS rankings and ask the real question: does every position kind of stink now, or are we just old and cynical? Along with these questions, we talk about how we like to attack the SS and MI position in our drafts. We already discussed the...

Grey and B_Don are back in the saddle and going over rankings at second base for 2026 fantasy baseball. After Jazz Chisholm Jr. sits atop the list (already covered in the Top 20), we hit Tier 2 and immediately start asking questions about where all the great second basemen went. This episode runs through the full 2B pool, from power-speed, power and average types, and everything short of those two...

Grey Albright and B_Don take a deep dive into what used to be a fun position in fantasy baseball, first base. From elite bats to “is this guy even rosterable?”, we break down first basemen across tiers, projections, stats, and player rater fantasy value. We start at the top with guys like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Pete Alonso, and Josh Naylor. We discuss where Vinnie Pasquantino belongs in the tiers...

Is catcher the tight end of fantasy baseball? Or is it more like drafting kickers? On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don dive headfirst into the most misunderstood, least glamorous, and somehow still pivotal (?) position in the game: catcher.

The Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast is back with a breakdown of the top of the fantasy baseball board. B_Don asks Grey about his top 20 players for 2026 drafts, arguing ceilings, floors, Statcast gods, and whether JOBU needs to apologize to Shohei Ohtani. Tier 1 starts with an obvious Ohtani and Aaron Judge discussion as they operate in their own universe. Next up, we dig into the “mortals with...

Grey and B_Don run through a packed offseason update starting with the Orioles who continue to load up. The big move is Pete Alonso signing for five years and 155 million dollars after a 2025 season with 38 home runs and career best quality of contact numbers. The concern is the park shift going from a top right handed power park to Camden. Baltimore also names Ryan Helsley closer on a two year de...

Grey and B_Don are looking forward to 2026 and drafting their top 20 players on this week's Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. While they may agree on the top 3 draft picks, what comes after that is anyone's guess. Do the veterans get the respect they deserve or are we chasing shiny young upside? Steals are a mystery, but both of us have our own conspiracy theories on the topic. Grey catches B_Don...

Next up: Cam Smith is quietly heating up in Houston. Could he be breaking out? We compare him t...

In the shadows of Gotham, B_Don and Grey emerge once more for another installment of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast.
