Lackey & Slowey Win, Snow White Happy
Razzball | June 30th 2008 by StanHayes

Zumaya, Guardado, Gagne
Fantasy Baseball Through the Eyes of a Gaijin | June 24th 2008 by fantasybaseballmbp

Curtis Blows
Razzball | May 14th 2008 by StanHayes
Curtis Granderson looks like the same hitter he was last year. Just without the luck. He had a .391 BABIP last season. Whoa, Grey, those numbers scare me. Grab your blankie, and listen. I’m trying to educate you. Razzball Point Shares ranked Gr read more
Overrated and Underrated Players
Razzball | May 13th 2008 by StanHayes
In fantasy baseball, it’s imperative to trade away overrated players before they lose their luster and trade for underrated players. Then there’s simply the rated ones. If this reads vaguely familiar, it’s because I’m cribbing Chuck K read more
Cliff Lee Cures Blindness
Razzball | May 13th 2008 by StanHayes
Cliff Lee threw nine innings of shutout ball to lower his ERA to 0.67. Seriously, he’s not Bob Gibson. He wasn’t even the best pitcher in his game last night. Shaun Marcum got him there. If someone’s buying into Lee’s early se read more

Backne Gets Scratched
Razzball | May 12th 2008 by StanHayes
It’s with no regret that I announce (Well, I’m not exactly announcing it. The Brewers are, but bear with me.) that Eric Gagne is no longer the closer. Officially, the Brewers say it’s a mental break. I say, it’s a “You c read more
Gallardo Done, Rich Hill Gets Ankielitis
Razzball | May 5th 2008 by StanHayes
Usually a pitcher’s third season in the bigs is the year they truly break out. Another factor to look for is their BB/9, is it trending downwards? Another factor, is K/9 trending upwards? WHIP heading down? Innings aren’t piling on too fa read more
Brewers News
Fantasy Baseball Through the Eyes of a Gaijin | May 2nd 2008 by fantasybaseballmbp
Derrick Turnbow RP has been cut by the Brewers. This former all-star who had 39 and 24 saves during the 2005 and 2006 season respectively so far has a disgusting 2008 campaign. This news isn't going to make any difference to fantasy owners except f read more
T.R.O.Y., They Reminisce Over You
Razzball | May 2nd 2008 by StanHayes
If I were an emoticon, I would be a sad face. Maybe Tulowitzki shouldn’t have been jogging in socks and flip-flops after all. The only way he wouldn’t get on track this year is if he were injured. What does Tulo do? Gets injured. Badly, a read more

What a Putz, and Cordero Too
Razzball | April 23rd 2008 by StanHayes
JJ Putz returns from the DL. Too bad because the Rowland-O’Flaherty-Green-Lowe-Crap-Smith-Whatever were like the Murderer’s Row of setup men. Really holding down the fort. Too bad The Big Sexy can’t pitch like he strikes out, he cou read more

Rollins Not Rolling, Arod Injured
Razzball | April 20th 2008 by StanHayes
