  • • Hitter Profiles: Guys I Own Too Much
    If you are a reader here at Razzball, you are likely in a number of leagues ranging from season-long to best ball or dynasty.  In the name of the game, we must be thinking about the value of diversification.  For the investment mindset of a fantasy owner, owning a wide range of players can lower your risk by weathering the ups and downs of the season.  That said, even the smartest fantasy writers ...2023
  • • Hitter Profiles: Shifty Hitters
    The rules, they are a changing. This 2023 season brings with it a whole new set of changes for players to navigate and fantasy managers to predict. Maybe it is pickoff limits and larger bases leading to more stolen bases. Maybe the pitch clock will reward pitchers that like to play mind games. However, this week we will spend some time looking at players that have the most to gain front the el...2023
  • • Hitter Profiles: Breakouts 1.0
    This week in our hitter profiles we are talking breakouts. So what is the difference between a breakout and what we have already covered in our sleeper posts (v1.0 here and v2.0 here)? Well, a breakout is like putting bacon on pizza. We already know that pizza is good, but that additional topping just made it one of the best. Whereas a sleeper is like realizing your nerdy classmate is now the ...2023
  • • Hitter Profiles: Buying Used
    There is something about buying used.  Whether it is that pleather couch or your 90’s hatchback, you cannot go wrong.  In our fantasy baseball world, this simply means passing up the young shiny objects and buying those old rusty veterans.  Sure, we sometimes are fighting Father Time, but at least we know our lineup can drive stick shift.  This week we dig into those draft day values that might sn...2023
  • • Hitter Profiles: Busts 1.0
    The last few weeks our hitter profiles have focused on some deep sleepers to add to your late round draft board.  This week we are going to buck that trend and take a peak at some big names that come with an even bigger price tag.  Too often factors like youth, upside, discovery bias and more come together and deceive our draft capital.  Yes, this is the article where we say Lars Nootbar is going ...2023
  • • Hitter Profiles: Sleepers 2.0
    Welcome back to our 2023 hitter profiles focusing on sleepers that might just be the late round lottery tickets you need.  This is where you find your Tayor Ward and Rowdy Tellez wannabes.  Last week (drop in here if you missed it) we focused on a number outfielders that can be found late in the draft.  This week we shift our focus to the infield to see what gems might be available.  Jump on in to...2023

Hitter Profiles injury and suspension

  • • Hitter Profiles: Aged Rookies
    Like fine wine, some Rookies are simply better with age.  Now I am not talking Rooke of the Year winners such as Jose Abreu or Ichiro Suzuki, who dominated upon their arrival to the MLB at a more advanced age.  Those guys had a leg up as stars in the native leagues prior to taking the MLB by storm.  No, we are talking about the guys like Jose Martinez, Shane Spencer or Ryan Shimpf who took the lea...2022
  • • Hitter Profiles: Free Agent Buy Or Sell
    Welcome to the scrap heap. Where all of the discarded and disregarded players have landed due to poor performance, injury or just simply disrespect. This week we are going to do a good ole Buy or Sell focusing on names that are owned in less than 50% of leagues. Maybe we strike it right or simply strike out. Whatever the outcome will be, at least we are in this together. Without further ado, l...2022
  • • Hitter Profiles: The Forgotten Firsts
    It does not take much in our game to go from fantasy darling to swift after-thought.  Take for example the season line of 86-23-92-.310-2.  This is the last full season in 2018 for Scooter Gennett of the Cincinnati Reds.  After an injury stunted 2019 season and a trade to San Francisco that did not jump start his season, he was simply out of the game.  So what is the point of all of this besides t...2022

  • • Hitter Profiles: Lockout Shuffle!
    I always try to look at things with a glass half-full.  Unfortunately that glass has a large hole in it right now where the MLB owners have drained my confidence in their love of the game.  However, the savy fantasy baseball manager is always looking for an edge.  This week our hitter profiles focus on impacts from the lockout and what it should mean for our expectations.  Whether it is recovery f...2022
  • • Hitter Profiles: Head-to-Head Battles
    We are in the home stretch for many head-to-head leagues with roughly four or five matchups remaining to make or break the season.  Whereas rotisserie leagues need to balance the final two months it is often about getting any point possible in any given week in a matchup-based format.  Therefore, we are often chasing the hot hand trying to determine who will remain hot and carry your team to the t...2021
  • • Hitter Profiles: Buying Time
    As we approach the quarter season mark, there are generally three potential outcomes for assessing a team at this juncture.  The first option is to invest which includes an assessment of the strengths and weakness of the lineup or categories to shuffle and fill the gaps.  The second option is to stand pat when underperformers, injuries, or other ailments are dragging down a solid team and time is ...2021
  • • Hitter Profiles: This Hurts!
    The injuries, the Big Hurt!  No, we are not talking about Frank Thomas, but rather how we evaluate all the early season injuries.  From Christian Yelich to George Springer to Cody Bellinger to Fernando Tatis Jr. to Ketel Marte…Shall I go on?  The top hitters have been ravaged by injuries this year placing uncertainty on the names that we invested in for reliable production.  At this point, there i...2021
  • • Hitter Profiles: Bouncing Back…Maybe
    The 2020 season was an adventure for several reasons.  However, there were still breakouts and breakdowns across the circuits.  It is always much more fun to talk about the young upstart that represented a draft day gamble that paid off, while it is much more likely that identifying the early season pickups will win the day (or league).  We are not talking about predicting that Christian Yelich wi...2021

    Welcome back to the first Hitter Profiles of the 2023 fantasy baseball season!  This offseason has included a lot of big contracts, changing landscapes and dreams of what next season will bring.  Here at Razzball, we have all passed our physicals thanks to a routine of finger curls and rigorous stretching.  Unfortunately, I did hear that Grey had to attend his physical a few times due to a paper c...2023

    We have arrived at the end of the 2022 fantasy baseball season and what an exciting season this has been!  Whether it is Aaron Judge chasing the AL Home Run record or Albert Pujols shocking us all with a resurgence to fantasy relevance, there have been countless headlines to chase.  For our last hitter profiles of this season, we are going to take a look at who your favorite Razzball writers predi...2022
  • • Hitter Profiles – One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Keeper
    The season is winding down and that gives us an opportunity to look at one of the most important times of the year for a keeper league owner.  As the playoffs and final standings push come to a close, those in contention will inevitably feel the roster crunch.  Casting off talent to make the all too critical move may win the league, but also be our ticket to a useful building block going into next...2022

    In the first 25 hitters taken during last year’s 2021 fantasy baseball drafts, names such as Christian Yelich (#3), Cody Bellinger (#4), Alex Bregman (#11), Anthony Rendon (#13) and Gleyber Torres (#20) were flying off the board.  This year, the group could hardly sniff the top 50 with each flailing hitter dropping harder than the beat at a Led Zepplin concert (at least that is what I hear).

    Do you remember that one kid in elementary school who always seemed to win every raffle, cake walk or prize when it was nothing more than dumb luck?  Well, welcome to Major League Baseball where that same kid is reimagined as Chris Davis and instead of winning the cake walk, he wins a ridiculous $161M contract.  Both of these guys stink if you are not them and the second one sinks your fantasy sea...2022

    We are officially 11 days, 22 hours and 37 minutes into the regular season.  Is that accurate?  No, but we should not be counting days or stats at this point in the season.  There are early season upstarts like Steven Kwan and Owen Miller and slow starters like Marcus Semien and Bryce Harper.  To really assess potential at this point in the season we have to look at playing time behaviors and the ...2022

  • • Hitter Profiles: Seeing the Future
    What makes fantasy baseball so interesting is that there are several ways to win your league.  Whether you are a superb drafter or waiver wire warrior, there is one concept that is critical to success in this game.  Surplus!  What is this concept you ask?  Surplus is the value returned by a player beyond their acquisition cost.  The more you can squeeze out of an individual spot in the lineup the ...2021

    It is time for the knockout rounds of Hitter Profiles for the 2021 fantasy baseball season.  Although Jose Bautista vs. Rougned Odor might be our favorite type of knockout battle, it does not have nearly the value for an article as a comparison of two key players near each other in the season to date results.  This week, we grab two central division corner infielders and two AL outfielders to go t...2021

    I know, I know.  I am supposed to be writing about Kyle Schwarber this week.  Seriously, we are doing 2021 Hitter Profiles and I should be writing about the hottest hitter on the planet.  Not counting Friday night where he hit another bomb (watch the video, it was a missile), across the last 14 days the former Cubbie has as many home runs (12) as the #2 and #3 long ball leaders during the same tim...2021
