Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast

Grey and B_Don continue the rankings previews with starting pitcher part 1 this week on the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. Come listen as I question the #1 ranker of 2023. We start the show with some draft philosophy talk on pitchers and how Grey looked at his rankings differently this year than previous years with the rule changes put in place by MLB.  Right out of the gate, the guys have the...

Grey and B_Don continue their OF positional rankings for 2024 on this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. Coming off of their only league draft, but not the first draft of the year (if you listen, this’ll make sense, maybe), the guys are ready to talk deep league OFs. We start with #41 in Grey’s rankings, but somewhere in the 20s probably in your heart, Masataka Yoshida. Was his 2nd...

Grey and B_Don are back with this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. We continue our positional rankings with the first part of the outfield rankings. We talk about the top 40 OF (not onlyfans accounts you sick, sick people). Podcast favorite Adolis Garcia leads us off followed by the player that we may possibly have been the most skeptical about, Luis Robert Jr. Plenty of di...

Grey and B_Don are back to finish up the infield for the 2024 positional rankings with 3B on this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. We discuss the depth of the position. At the top, what separates Austin Riley and Rafael Devers? The rest of the guys you’re drafting for 3B are a mix of crusty vets and young up and comers. Is the upside of Royce Lewis worth his draft cost? The...

Grey and B_Don are back for the next installation of positional rankings on the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast with the shortstops, SS. Are you ready for the Bo Bichette discussion again? Because it’s going to happen, again. We talk about the other guys in the tier with Bo that B_Don has over Bo. We move on in the SS rankings to talk about the Cruz’s at SS with each of us coming to the defense...

On this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don continue the positional rankings for 2024 with 2B. Who will be the player we compare to everyone this week at the position? The guys differ on how they view the 2nd tier at the position, but agree on the names there in Jose Altuve, Matt McLain, and Nico Hoerner. 2B offers a mix of capabilities for your fantasy builds, and the guys di...

Grey and B_Don are back for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast as we continue going through Grey’s positional rankings. After the scintillating 2 hours on catchers, it’s time to move to the corner and talk about 1B ranks. We talk about the depth of the position and where you likely want to grab your 1B and then fill your CI spot if it is going to come from this position. Ther...

Grey and B_Don are back on the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast to start the positional rankings for 2024. Where would we start our positional rankings? Our favorite position, of course, catcher. Sure, all the catchers are ranked, but couldn’t they all be #1? Everyone is basically Will Smith or JT Realmuto or Salvador Perez if you look hard enough. Where would Grey actually draft a catcher in 1 o...

Grey and B_Don are back for the first Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast of 2024 where we are looking at Grey’s Top 20 rankings. Grey says there’s no question who will be at #1 in every draft this year. After #1 though, there’s still a top tier of hitters including Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr., Corbin Carroll, and Kyle Tucker. Even if you miss out on those guys, there’s still plenty of talent le...

Grey and B_Don return to the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast to discuss the happenings from the MLB Winter Meetings. While Grey missed his opportunity to hangout with a Japanese baseball legend, the greatest Japanese baseball legend (maybe just baseball in general), Shohei Ohtani, is holding the baseball world captive with his free agency decision. In other news, this little team in New York tra...

Grey and B_Don go through a draft of the top 25 fantasy baseball players for 2024. We discuss where the tier breaks are in the rankings. Where did the draft go from clear to hazy to muddied. After we draft our 25, we talk about some of the other players that belong in the conversation for the rest of top 40. We talked about where we got things right and where we got things right, but did we learn?...

Grey and B_Don are here for the last podcast for the 2023 season (we’ll be back next week, but doing our 2024 draft). After Grey vents about the Ronald Acuna Jr. and Mookie Betts real MVP discussion, we move on to the fantasy MVP award discussion. Cody Bellinger might take home the fantasy MVP and comeback player award for 2023, but do we believe for 2024? Up next, we talk about some of the top pi...

Grey and B_Don discuss who should take home the MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year awards for both leagues. We called the MVP race months ago, but do we still think so? The Cy Young for the National League is anyone’s guess even at this late stage of the season. Then, we take some time and talk about the Rookie of the Year candidates and what we expect from them next year for production and ADP...

Grey and B_Don talk about a couple young pitchers who ran into some trouble in George Kirby and Cole Ragans. We continue to talk about who might be the top prospect drafted next year following the Jasson Dominguez injury. Maybe it could be another late season call-up in Jordan Lawlar, Pete Crow-Armstrong, or Evan Carter. The Angels are open to trading Mike Trout, and we’re sure they’d trade Anthon...

Grey and B_Don start the show with some discussion about the Julio Urias situation. We talk about setting lineups for stretch runs and the amazingness that is Ronald Acuna Jr. We talk about a few of the recent MLB team claims made by the two Ohio teams. Next, we move on to talk about the September call-ups. The Yankees made a few including Jasson Dominguez, Austin Wells, and Randy Vasquez. We also...

Grey and B_Don wildly speculate what the future may look like for one of the greatest players baseball has ever seen following his injury. Then, we move on to talk about some of the week’s call-ups. We discuss the Yankees duo of Everson Pereira and Oswald Peraza being brought up. Over in California, the Dodgers have called up MIchael Busch and Gavin Stone while the Giants have recalled Heliot Ramo...

Grey and B_Don discuss some of the late season call-ups that are getting an opportunity even before the September roster expansion. We start in Cincinnati with Noelvi Marte’s call-up. Then, we move on to the Cardinals call-up of Masyn Winn. The Giants made a few different moves by bringing up Kyle Harrison, Luis Matos, and Wade Meckler. Nolan Schanuel was called up by the Angels after all of 21 ga...

Grey and B_Don start the show talking about the news surrounding Wander Franco. While we wait for news, we discuss what could happen in Tampa Bay while he’s away from the team. We move on from that topic to discuss some possible September call-ups. We talk about the possibility of seeing Masyn Winn, Jackson Holliday, Heston Kjerstad, and others. If you’re reading this, one name I forgot to mention...

Tim Anderson got knocked the F OUT (warning: Grey may or may not curse in the intro)! Would you lay a heavy tag on Jose Ramirez after watching that? Is JRam about to lead the league in stolen bases the rest of the season? Anyway, we move on to talk about the trades that occurred after we recorded our last show. Justin Verlander returns to Houston. A couple of closers were on the move in Paul Sewal...

Grey and B_Don discuss the baseball trades that happened and what they might mean for the players involved and those still on rosters. We start with the Rangers who added a few arms in Max Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery, and Chris Stratton. The Angles have also been busy with the additions of Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez from the White Sox, along with Randal Grichuk and CJ Cron from the Rockies. ...

What would Grey and B_Don do if they were in charge of some of the teams poised to be involved as we approach the trade deadline. After we spend some time going over trades that probably won’t happen, we move on to the call-ups of the week. Sal Frelick and Brandon Pfaadt lead the call-up/recalled players, but we also discuss Jackson Wolf, Forest Wall, Jonah Bride, Owen White, and Mark Vientos. Fro...

Vlad won the homerun derby, but what does Grey think about his fantasy value the rest of the season. After that, it’s Condos in Queens, Endy for Weeks, sold out seats to see the Pirates peak. We talk about the call-ups for the Pirates in Endy Rodriguez, Liver Peguero, and Quinn Priester.  The Reds finally bring up Christian Encarnacion-Strand. The A’s welcome Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof to the...

B_Don takes a look at Grey's 2nd half rankings, and Lane Thomas. We go over some of Grey's top 20 players like Mookie Betts, Adolis Garcia, Luis Robert Jr., Jose Ramirez, Yordan Alvarez, and Lane Thomas. Then, we move on to some different groups of hitters. We look at the biggest differences between the player rater and Grey's ranks such as Oneil Cruz, Elly De La Cruz, recent callup Colton Cowser,...

After crowing Ohtani on the AL side, we’ve decided and the MVP races are both over. Ronald Acuna Jr. get the award on the NL side, done and done. He’s going to get 20/40 before the All-Star Break and he’s hitting over .330.  What about the guy that’s third on the player rater? Well, we talk about Matt Olson’s season and the first base position overall. It’s been kind of weird year at the position....

Grey and B_Don are back to discuss some of the callups for the week. We start talking about Jordan Westburg and his callup for the Orioles. We move on to the Guardians pitching callup of Gavin Williams. David Hamilton can be your SAGNOF, but can he be more? Is the former highly touted prospect, Nick Gonzales, worth your time?  In our weekly Elly watch, we discuss some of the players that Grey woul...
