Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast

Give Ohtani the MVP already. Just give it to him every year that he stays healthy for the rest of his career. And if you’re not down with that, we got two words for you, SUCK IT! HB_Don and The Grey Game have one question for you, ARE YOU READY (for a fantasy baseball podcast)?  Super 2 has passed, so, give us the call ups. All the call ups. We talk about Luis Matos getting his opportunity by the...

How long can 2 grown men talk about a 21 year old? Well, we put it to the test this week with the call up of Reds top prospect, Elly De La Cruz. Listen and find out how much Grey loves him. The Reds also called up pitching prospect Andrew Abbott who has thrown 11.2 scoreless innings to start his career.  Coco Montes was also promoted as he joins the Rockies. We’re excited, right? There have also b...

So, you thought that Razzball didn’t have any ties to the rap game. You’d be wrong, well, kind of. Not really at all, but kind of. But somebody told the Rangers to Bring da Ruckus to Bryan Woo in his first major league start. Despite this, is Grey interested in pitching Ric Flair, WOO.  We talked about other prospect callups in Jonny Deluca, Luken Baker, Andrew Abbott, and AJ Smith Shawver. After...

Grey and B_Don open the show with some discussion about the stats this year compared to previous seasons and what numbers might look like moving forward. Speaking of moving forward, Elly De La Cruz could have the Reds moving forward as they look to the future with an infield of, well, we discuss how the infield might look as the Reds actually have some interesting young pieces all around the infie...

This week on the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don discuss starting a Go Fund Me for Grey to shave his mustache off. If he played for the Yankees, it might have to go as he looks slightly over to the right. We talk about the promotion of Bobby Miller and Gavin Stone getting a longer stay due to the Dodgers injuries to Julio Urias and Dustin May.  Edouard Julien and Mark Vientos bot...

Matt McLain has joined the party and don’t look now, but the Reds have a pretty interesting infield with a couple more guests waiting in the minors in Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Elly De La Cruz. Casey Schmitt got called up last week, and Grey and B_Don try to make a young player hitting over .400 sound as boring as possible. Christopher Morel has also been smashing the baseball, but does he...

Grey and B_Don are back like Alex Kiriloff from the minors to the Twins. We’re back to talk about the recent call-ups of Matt Mervis, Alex Kiriloff, Enmanuel Valdez, and Bryce Miller. We also discuss possible future promotions in Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Maikel Garcia. We talk about our expectations for Ezequiel Duran and his teammate Josh Jung. We then go on to discuss whether we would be...

The Brookeout is upon us! Brent Rooker was so good that even he didn’t think he was capable of a month that good. Maybe the Padres and Giants would be Rooker good if they could play every game in Mexico City. You know who is not playing every day right now…Luis Robert Jr. LuBob got benched after mall walking his way down to 1B.  What other crazy stuff happened? O yeah, the midwest Rockies, aka the...

Will Grey’s fingers stick to a baseball? What about a lucky cat? What happens when Grey tries to smush me on his screen with his fingers? All valid questions in the Max Scherzer rosin gate. Now that’s what I call a sticky situation.  Grey and B_Don move on to discuss the injury to Scherzer’s teammate, Carlos Carrasco, and whether we might be interest in his replacement. We continue the injury talk...

This week on CSI, Grey and B_Don are looking into the homicide of several fantasy teams. Hmm… Detective Grey, I think we may be looking at a case of foul play. I’m not ruling out the use of voodoo magic.  They guys are going over the exciting early season call ups of the week. We talk through our expectations and what leagues we are picking up Bretty Baty, Zach “Neato” Neto, Edouard Julien, Oswald...

Grey is in mourning. He lost Oneil Cruz and is inconsolable. Meanwhile, Tyler O’Neill is having a public disagreement with his manager. At least we found at Jazz Chisholm Jr. is fine, but is Grey worried enough to trade his prized 2B? We run through some of the other injuries in Michael Harris II, Eloy Jimenez, Lars Nootbar, Starling Marte, and Joey Gallo.  We move on to a couple of promotions, on...

Grey and B_Don are back to discuss the first weekend of 2023. We start the pod with the biggest changes, the new rules and how it has affected our game. Players are running and we've seen more than double the stolen bases over the first weekend of play from last year. After B_Don gets done telling all the young whippersnappers about how the rule changes are bad, we get into some of the early perfo...

How long can two men talk about a 20 year old that has never played in an MLB game? Good question. Grey tests that question as we talk about Jordan Walker, Anthony Volpe, and Oscar Colas getting to start the season in the majors. Then, we complain about the Mets incompetency in leaving Brett Baty off their opening day roster. We move on to talk about the bullpens that have taken on injuries, start...

Grey and B_Don finish the positional previews with the starting pitchers ranked 41-100. Unlike the second outfielders podcast, there are actually still players we are excited about in this 2nd starting pitcher podcast. So exciting, that we go for the world record of the longest baseball podcast. Of course, we own the previous 3 records already, so we're out here improving on perfection. There are...

Grey and B_Don have moved on from the hitters and we're on to the arms. We tried to get through 50, but for everyone's sanity, we stopped at 40. We talk about our view on the starting pitcher position (BTW, I'm surprised Grey hasn't fired me for getting Corbin Burnes in 1 league). As we go through, we also let you know who we typically target as SP1, SP2, etc., and in what round. We discuss some o...

Grey and B_Don cover the second half of the top 100 outfielders for your upcoming drafts. While these guys may not be starters for you in every league, we break them down to let you know which ones are good for playing time, upside, possible jobs, or specific skills. Each has a different role to fill depending on the depth of your league and what you're looking for at the back end of your roster....

Grey and B_Don continue their positional preview of Grey's rankings with the top 50 outfielders. We agree about Mike Trout's greatness, and that's about where the agreement ends. B_Don loves him some Michael Harris II, but Grey isn't completely sold. The top of the position is filled with fantasy goodness and it seems to shift into more team build specific types the later we get. Whether you're st...

Grey and B_Don are back to cover 3B. B_Don has a crazy theory to start off the show. Then, we get into Grey's 3B rankings at what is a bit of a top heavy position. We discuss Grey's projections and some of the biggest differences between his rankings, Rudy's rankings, and ADP. We discuss some of our late round options at each league depth.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.co...

It's finally time for Grey and B_Don to explore a position that's actually good for fantasy baseball in 2022! We run 50 deep at SS and we're actually excited about some of those names at the bottom. We start the show with Francisco Lindor, and one of us is not looking to have many shares. Meanwhile, we crown Dansby Swanson the value pick of the podcast. We run through the 2022 top prospects with p...

The guys are back to go over Grey’s 1B rankings for 2023. We dream of the time before the dead ball era, way back in 2021. Back when 1B had more to offer than 18-22 HRs and a .245 average. Please, blog, may I have some more? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Grey and B_Don could talk about anything for an hour and a half. Well, we certainly put that to the test each year with our catcher rankings podcast. Why don’t Grey and I love catchers? I don’t know. Maybe something to do with the #10 catcher giving you 13 and 4 with a .254 average? Please, blog, may I have some more? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Grey and B_Don (basically Grey couldn't find anyone better, yet) are back for the 2023 season! We're here to jump into the moves from the winter meetings. We start the podcast with Aaron Judge re-signing and some discussion about the different baseballs in use last season, and well, we rant a little bit... Then, we move on to the signings. We talk about Trea Turner heading to Philadelphia and the...

Grey and B_Don are back for one last planned podcast in 2022. What’s on the board to talk about? The top 25 for 2023 fantasy baseball 5×5 roto, redraft leagues.

Grey and B_Don are back to go over the (almost) end of season player rater rankings. We discuss how the top 4 on the Player Rater aren’t necessarily the typical power and speed combo guys we’ve seen in recent years. What does that mean for 2023, if anything?
