Grey and B_Don are here for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. We go through the call ups of the week with Andy Pages, Bryce Elder, Mitchell Parker, and a few others. After we work our way through the call ups, we move on to some of the early season strugglers. Starting at the top with Ronald Acuna Jr., Julio Rodriguez, and Corey Seager. Then, we move on to Nolan Jones, Randy Arozarena, Blake Snell, Josh Hader, and other guys who have started the season slow. 

Buy Low, Sell High, Or William Wallace It

Grey and B_Don are here for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. There’s a lost intro that was absolutely brilliant, Grey swats his mic, and find out who GREY compares to Bo Bichette this week. The big news of the week is that Jackson Holliday has made his way to Camden Yards. We talk about where he ranks for us the rest of the season overall and at SS (until he gets 2B eligibility) along with the a few other call ups and Tommy Pham signing with the White Sox.Next up, we move on to talk about some of the best players of the week. Colton Cowser and Elly De La Cruz showed why they were so highly thought of as prospects. Brice Turang, Jordan Westburg, and Sal Frelick were among the best hitters of the week, but do we think they can keep it going? Grey says he doesn’t have any fomo for not drafting Cole Ragans, and Bryce Miller has started his season off nicely. Nick Lodolo is back and his first start was amazing. We move on to discuss the injuries to Luis Robert Jr., Bobby Miller, Carlos Correa, Jake Burger, Cody Bradford, and others. We discuss their performance to this point and who might benefit from their absence. We wrap up with some bullpen talk and possible targets from your waiver wire. 

Holliday At The Camden

Grey and B_Don are here for another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast! This week is a bit of a downer as we go over all the big injuries from last week. A moment of silence for all the fantasy baseball owners of Spencer Strider, Shane Bieber, Eury Perez, and Trevor Story. After the injury talk, we move on to take an early look at the player rater for 2024. Podcast favorites Spencer Steer, Mookie Betts, and Adolis Garcia are off to great starts. What do we make of some of the others like Michael Conforto, Jarren Duran, and Tyler O’Neill, among others? Some more interesting names come up when we turn our attention to the pitching player rater. Brady Singer’s sweeper is yielding nice results early on. Are the Reid Detmers, Garrett Crochet, and Shota Imanaga breakouts underway? There’s also some less known names such as Cody Bradford and Ronel Blanco. Some pitchers are moving from the bullpen to starting jobs, and maybe there’s something to that adjustment that is yielding positive results. We wrap up the show with some saves SAGNOF talk and some players to look for on your waiver wires. 

Early Look At The 2024 Player Rater

Grey and B_Don are here with another episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, and this week, we have a full slate of baseball to talk about. Grey starts the show by getting some things off his chest like the Angels lineup and all the spring training narratives. Next up is the first week injury cases as we dream about what might have been with Royce Lewis on healthy legs. Can we get him some new legs like Lt. Dan? We talk about some early season FAAB and waiver wire targets. Are Brady Singer or Steven Matz trustworthy? Is Victor Scott or Trey Lipscomb worth a pickup? Then, we turn our attention to some bad starts from the pitching side and what we think about those guys for the season.We have our first game of Scientific Fact, Sex Panther, Or I Don't Believe You of 2024 as we look at some potential waiver wire/FAAB targets. Jared Jones, Zack Littell, Garret Crochet, Shane Bieber, and others had a strong first start of the season. Will Grey talk B_Don off the Conforto ledge or is Grey shimmy shimmy ya'ing his way out on the ledge too? Nick Martini and Oswaldo Cabrera hit the ground running, but can they be trusted? We finish up with some closer discussions.

There's Baseball To Talk About

Grey and B_Don are back for this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. The guys start talking about Shohei Ohtani and everything going on around him right now. What do we think about his new teammate, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, first outing struggles? The duo don’t agree on how the players in the Korean games should be handled in drafts, but listen and tell us whose side you’re on. We talk about some of the prospects that were sent back down in Jackson Holliday and Paul Skenes. On a positive note, we talk about some of the youngsters who did make rosters like Jackson Chourio, Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter, and Colton Cowser. Well, it’s a pre-season show right before the start of the season, so that means it’s time to talk about injuries: Gerrit Cole, Matt Mclain, TJ Friedl, Eury Perez, and a few top end closers in Jordan Romano, Jhoan Duran, and Devin Williams.
