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 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 was holding the baseball world captive with his free agency decision when we recorded, so if we sound dumb...More dumb than usual, you know why.
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.

On this week’s episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don discuss who should take home the MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year awards for both leagues.

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.

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.

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, […]
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 […]
Grey and B_Don discuss the baseball trades that happened and what they might mean for the players involved and those still on rosters.

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?

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 look at the biggest differences between the player […]
After crowning 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 […]
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 […]
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)? […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
The positional rankings continue as B_Don asks Grey about his 2B rankings for 2023. It’s a position that comes with a lot of question marks, starting at the top with familiar names like Marcus Semien, Jose Altuve, Ozzie Albies, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. By the way, there’s not many players at this position that don’t […]
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. We move through the ranks and discuss the different variations of Freddie Freeman, Matt Olson, […]
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? […]
Grey and B_Don are back for the first podcast of 2023! We are taking a look at Grey’s top 20 players for 2023. A few things have changed since we did our mock 2 person draft after the end of the season, and B_Don asks Grey to explain himself. We go over Grey’s projections for […]
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 Bryce Harper injury news. The Rangers bolstered their pitching rotation with Jacob deGrom, Andrew Heaney, and Jake Odorizzi, but how interested are we in them? The Mets followed suit and added to their rotation with Justin Verlander and Jose Quintana. We go on to talk about the other signings including Jose Abreu, Xander Bogaerts, Willson Contreras, Mitch Haniger, Josh Bell, and the other meaningful-ish signings.
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 take turns picking through the top players until those top 25 are gone. Find out which players we agree on and where […]
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? While we’re on the topic of the […]
Grey and B_Don discuss what they would do if they caught the Pujols or Judge homerun ball. Surprise, surprise, we’re not giving it back for nothing. As we close out the season, we discuss some more of the 2nd half performers and where we might be looking to take them in 2023 drafts. We discuss […]
As Grey and B_Don sit down to talk about baseball on this week’s pod, we have but one question… WHAT IS GOING ON WITH JUAN SOTO? He’s approaching the Mendoza line for batting average in the 2nd half (while having an OBP close t0 .400, but still). Is there something wrong or just a blip? […]
Grey and B_Don are back and maybe it’s time to start adjusting the award names until somebody other than Ohtani gets the MVP award. O, you think Aaron Judge should win it? Well, you’re wrong. After we ramble about Ohtani and Babe Ruth and other non-sense, we move on to a few of the call […]
Grey and B_Don are back to discuss the last round of support for your fantasy teams that comes in the form of September call-ups. It may not be what it used to be, but there are still plenty of guys that are coming up that are interesting for this year and beyond. After Grey’s opening […]
I don’t know if this name is going to stick or not, but Grey has dubbed Corbin Carroll as C.C. SaBATia, and almost as importantly, he has been called up by the Diamondbacks. We get a sneak peek at the consensus #1 prospect in baseball and odds on favorite for the 2023 Rookie of the […]
Grey and B_Don are back to talk about the machine that is Albert Pujols and what kind of upgrade did he get to put together the numbers he’s had over the last week plus. Then, we move on to the other side of the age spectrum to call-ups and possible September call-ups. We talk about […]
Grey and B_Don are back for another podcast, and they start the show by drooling over the return of Jacob DeGrom.

On this week’s podcast, Grey and B_Don mourn the loss of a couple Razzball favorites in Wander Franco and Yordan Alvarez. As we wait for news on Yordan, we can only hope that he isn’t lost to us for the season. On a positive note, we have a couple of prospects called up and a […]
Grey and B_Don are back and we finally have the Vinnie Pasquantino call-up to talk about. We also talk about the Phillies call-up of Darick Hall. Not quite the pageantry of Vinnie P, but should he still be grabbed in most leagues? We move on to a couple of players who have turned it around […]
Does Grey know who the Avs are? No. Luckily for all of us, this is a baseball podcast. We talk about a couple of the top performers of the week in Cristian Javier and Isaac Paredes. We move on to a couple players that have struggled in June like Jose Berrios terrible 2 start week, […]

We are now posting the WHOLE SHOW on Youtube! You can see every time Grey ignores me, or rolls his eyes at me, or every time I leave the room for minutes at a time while Grey talks and doesn’t notice that I’m actually gone. Grey and B_Don are back to talk about an Adonis […]
Grey Albright and B_Don always pay their league fees and if you’re not using IR spots to your advantage, are you even trying to win? After we talk about Joc Pederson’s hot week, we talk about his teammate from last year, Dansby Swanson and where he fits in among SS for the rest of the […]
We’ve made it to the first quarter mark of the season! Now what? Well, based off his extensive experience of climbing out of the gutter, Grey is here to help you figure out a strategy. After that, we go on to discuss some of the hot, and cold, performers from May and where they might […]
Grey gets a little early season venting out and how he may be like a certain Reds starting pitcher.

We discuss the Bryce Harper injury and what kind of […]
Grey and B_Don are here to talk about the bevy of prospect call ups made over the last few days. We discuss which prospects are worth spending FAAB on, how much, and what kind of leagues we’d be looking at grabbing or stashing some of the young talent in the game. We go over players […]
Grey and B_Don are back to mourn the loss of Adalberto Mondesi, again. On the positive side though, Ronald Acuna Jr. is back and the two weigh in about where they would have Acuna for the rest of the season. The hottest Angels player right now isn’t Mike Trout or Shohei Ohtani, but rather, Taylor […]
The early season hasn’t been kind to a number of players on both sides of the ball. Grey and B_Don are here to go over some of them and discuss whether you should be panicking or just staying the course. We start the show by talking about the lack of offensive production in general. Then, […]
I can’t offer you proof (it’s only been a week and a half) But you’re going to face a moment of truth (when you make FAAB/WW cuts) It’s hard when you’re always afraid (to let go of your pre-season favorites) You just recover when another belief is betrayed (is it time to move on?) So […]
4 Days or 96 Hours or 5,760 Minutes or 345,600 seconds of baseball and it was glorious. Almost as glorious as 4 putting to win the Masters by 3 or having Byron Buxton on your team to start the year. Grey and B_Don are going to discuss the happenings from the start of the season. […]
Grey and B_Don are here to go over some spring training news as we approach Opening Day 2022. Despite the start of the baseball season, Grey is feeling a bit down as he has zero shares of the great Julio Rodriguez. We talk about Grey and Rudy’s projections for Cubs outfielder, Seiya Suzuki, who can […]
Grey and B_Don are back to finish out the rankings podcasts with starting pitchers part 2. We talk about ADP variances and where we would potentially take some of these arms (or not draft at all) when comparing rankings and ADP. We discuss how each of the pitchers may help your team and what pitchers […]
Grey and B_Don are back to begin the long trek through the starting pitcher rankings. As we approach the season, we wanted to make sure you have all the rankings you need for draft season. So, we recorded the first 50 starting pitchers in this pod. To help you navigate through the pod if you […]
Grey and B_Don are here to finally finish up the outfielders. How many guys can Grey compare to Michael Brantley? Is that a good thing? If it is a good thing, why are they all in the 3rd OF podcast? And then we actually talk about Michael Brantley.
Grey Albright and B_Don are back to go over the 2nd set of outfielders for 2022. We pick up where we left off at #34 with Jarred Kelenic. We talk about the rest of Kelenic’s tier at outfield and where we might be looking to grab outfielders in our leagues. We discuss some of the […]
Grey and B_Don are back to go over the outfielders for 2022. We start the show with an outfielder that we both missed on last year, but proved us wrong and now we’re believers. After mocking Geoff (formerly Ralph) about Tyler O’Neill last year, B_Don is happy to be on the train this year though. […]
Grey Albright and B_Don are back to review the the barren wasteland that is 3B rankings. We start with the handful of 3B you may actually want to roster before getting in the globule that is the rest of 3B. We question some of the veteran options at the position in Nolan Arenado, Justin Turner, […]

Grey Albright and B_Don are back to talk about the shortstop rankings for 2022. It may be the deepest position in fantasy baseball, there are still some questions hanging around even the top SS. Trevor Story is a free agent still and we discuss some of the possible options along with what we might expect […]

Grey and B_Don are back to review the 2B rankings for 2022. We talk about Grey’s and Rudy’s projections for the position and where there are some discrepancies. We talk about how to handle young players at the position like Jonathan India and Jazz Chisholm verses aging vets like Javier Baez or Jose Altuve. It’s […]
B_Don is joined by fellow Razzballer Steve Paulo (@StevePaulo) and Darik Buchar (@DBuchar) from the NFC to talk about the upcoming RazzSlam contest. Steve is our resident RazzSlam writer for the season and Darik is one of our primary contacts, and the two of them are here to go over the details and our draft strategies for the RazzSlam and the Cutline contest in general. We discuss how to handle some of the transitions from roto to the Cutline points set up and how to handle steals, starters vs closers, and other tricky areas. Darik walks us through the offerings from the NFBC this year. Before I let my guests go, I ask them about some of the big free agent signings of the off-season.
Grey Albright and B_Don are back to go over 1B rankings for 2022 fantasy baseball. For the first two guys, Vlad and Freddie Freeman, see the top 20 podcast. Then, we walk through the 1B tiers and determine where we might be investing at 1B in our drafts to try and find the best values for the position. See how low B_Don is on Votto and what 1B he'd be taking over the veteran 1B.
We also look at Rudy's first run of his projections to see how they compare with Grey. The 1B you take may be more about your team build than ADP or one player outproducing another by a large margin. For the catchers mentioned in this pod, check out the catchers podcast. And here are the Andrew Vaughn sleeper and Alex Kiriloff sleeper posts for your reading pleasure.
Starting the positional previews, everyone's favorite, most productive position in all of baseball, catchers! YAY! Now go listen to the intro where Grey makes fun of everyone drafting catchers way too early. From Salvador Perez to Jonah Heim (o yeah, Grey covers a lot more than 20 catchers, right here), we cover them all and where we would potentially draft these players.
Grey Albright and B_Don are here to go over Grey's top 20 overall rankings. Grey mentions how you should view his rankings and tiers, and how to use them during your draft. B_Don and Grey then talk about the players in each tier. B_Don asks the annoying questions you all want to hear. Every player has some kind of flaw if you dig in, and Grey provides his response to those concerns. From ADP to team build, get your answers here.
Free Agency didn’t only start in the majors. The Razzball podcast is going through its own transition as Grey has called B_Don in from the ‘pen to take over co-hosting duties. In between the many times Grey interrupts a transition to tell me to transition, we talk about some of the big, pre-lockout signings. The […]
Dear readers, listeners, and friends this is my final post on Razzball. After years of working a variety of jobs here I have taken a full-time role with Baseball America. So this is a emotional podcast for me and not just because we discuss the CBA! I want to thank everyone for their support over the years. Soooooooo... anyway, we invited on Tipping Pitches (@tipping_pitches on twitter). If you're not familiar Alex and Bobby discuss the labor element of baseball. The guys were great sports as Grey and myself (two men of below-average intelligence but above-average looks) pepper them with questions about the CBA and potential lockout. It's an all-time classic!
You know we had to do it em! We're wrapping up the year in classic Razzball fashion with our annual end of year draft for next year. Will I take Michael Conforto? Is Tyler O'Neill in the mix? Will I guilt Grey into drafting a pitcher? All this and more on this year's edition of the Top 25 Players For 2022 Fantasy Baseball. It's like January Grey but with less Crazy Uncle vibes.
Wait another former Cardinals prospect is tearing it up with a team that isn't the Cardinals? No way, that's never happened before, or even over and over again over the last few seasons. We're of course discussing Patrick Wisdom. It's gotta sting that he ended up with the Cubs, no? This run doesn't even make sense. So Grey and yours truly talk about it, we mix in some talk of Starling Marte's unbelievable season and a handful of names to grab over the final month. It's the latest Razzball podcast!
Is Tyler Gilbert good? Will anyone remember his name in 6 years? Did Grey break Joe Musgrove? Did Geoff watch Chris Sale's return? Did Geoff sidetrack us into Sean Manaea conversation to praise him just as he was giving up seven runs? Is there an easier way to make Century Eggs? These are many of the questions we answer this week on the Razzball Podcast. We also talk Edward Cabrera, Lewis Brinson, Hoy Jun Park, and Jose Miranda. It's the Razzball podcast, now with more ums and uhs.
B_Don is guest hosting so that Grey has an easy target to make fun of all show. The Cubs fan of the group has to discuss the combined no hitter that Craig Kimbrel didn't know about...? Grey walks you through is backwards Tout Wars team and, "he's saying there's a chance" that he could still possibly come away with #4 (Fred Zinkie, did your ears ring?). Grey's BOLD prediction from the pre-season has come true, but can you now , but B_Don is still disappointed months later that his bold prediction was rated lower.
Then, it's on to spin rates and a bunch of guy's sticky substances. Are either of the guys looking to trade Gerrit Cole or anyone else? Next, we take a look at some of Rudy's rest of season projections and where the guys fall on Wander Franco, Juan Soto, Gleyber Torres, and Alec Bohm. We finish up the pod with Grey giving you some waiver wire targets and some quick bullpen discussion with a few teams facing some turnover.
We don't invite guests onto the podcast often, but when we do we do it big. Did I just quote Black and Yellow? I don't know if Laura is a fan of a sport franchise with black and yellow colors but I hope for her sake it's not the Pirates. Our Deep Leagues writer Laura Holt joins us this week and the collective IQ of the show was raised by at least 70%. We talk sticky stuff and it's impact on fantasy, pitcher injuries, wavier wire adds, and a host of other topics to keep you mildly entertained. There's a 50/50 chance Laura takes my job after this one. She was great. Listen or else!
When even our handsome mustachioed leader is tossing no-no's you know that something is terribly wrong in Major League Baseball. The remarkable part is he did it throwing underhand eephus pitches to the Mariners. The lineup is that bad, what can ya say? They swing and they miss. All joking aside, we run through the growing no-no trend and a whole bunch of names you need to keep an eye on for the weeks ahead. Schmotatoes, Call-ups, and players returning from injury we have it all. It's the latest episode of the Razzball Podcast.
The show is back for another episode and only a few hours after lineup lock in your weekly leagues! We're such a tease right? Well, give us a break, I have no excuse but Grey, Fantasy Master Lothario, is cultivating a grapefruit on his chest and we all must be understanding of his situation. Out of respect for his growth we pushed the show to Monday and chatted about our big picture takeaways from the first month of the 2021 campaign. Did we say anything of importance? Perhaps, but I ain't gon' tell'ya if we did. I want you to listen to the damn show! So listen to the damn show, kapeesh?
Who doesn’t love a cliffhanger ending? I still recall every sitcom I’ve watched in my life that kept me hanging for a full week before the ongoing crisis is resolved. Can Uncle Phil and Will save their relationship? How long will Cherry be stuck in the old fridge? These are high water moments in entertainment. We at the Razzball podcast are no different as we present the first part of our run through the top 100 outfielders. Quick math, half of 100 is 50! Suck it common core! We take you through all the guys to draft, who to avoid, and this year’s high value outfielder going after pick 100. It’s another week of the Razzball podcast. Mount up!
Every week it's something new. No seriously we have a different position each week, and while 90% of the third base rankings are covered in the Top 20, First Base, Second Base, and Shortstops we still found a way to talk about the hot corner for 60+ minutes. And by hot corner I mean that piece in the middle of a REAL Chicago pizza. None of that deep dish shizz. We rant about the third basemen you should draft, tell you when to draft them, and tell you who to avoid. It's a wonderful journey around the horn!
First Base is back baby! It's good again!!!! Shout it from the mountains!!! Read this in one of those culturally appropriated Robin Williams voices. After a few lean years the first base position has some sizzle. Or perhaps this is the hangover of the catcher episode. "Catchers: The Ugly Friend/Slump-Buster of Fantasy Baseball". Anyway, Grey, yours trues, and crews (there is no crew) chew through the top bats at first base. A serious run through 50+ names you need to know for 2021 Fantasy Baseball.
KICKS DOWN DOOR (Loud non-descript 80s metal plays; a man steps to the mic). Are you ready? Crowd Cheers Are you ready for... Crowds cheers more loudly Are you ready for 2021 catcher ranks? Everyone stops cheering, looking at each other with bewilderment, turns away sadly and leaves. Except one man, the hero America needs. Position scarcity man, stands there unshaken by the thought of ranking catchers, for he remembers the hey day of position scarcity, he owned Mike Piazza and he's never letting go. We're ranking catchers this week. Enjoy!
January Grey is back and in full effect, he's taken the Flo-bie to the lettuce, shaved his Tom Hanks Castaway beard down to a meticulously manicured mustache and he's chockful of rankings for the good people of the Fantasy Baseball Republic. Who's number one? Tildaddy, Fun The Jewels, Mike Trout? Who is it? You already know the answer, but let Grey explain why. Rankings season is upon us and we're kicking it off right with the most anticipated Top 20 list in the industry.
Thank god for the Padres huh? Just when we thought the baseball off-season couldn't get worse A.J. Preller shows up on a new scooter ready to get us to Aspen. Is it the Shaggin' Wagon? No, but it'll do. So Grey and I return to talk Blake Snell, Yu Darvish, Lance Lynn, Ha-Seong Kim, and all the other baseball players good enough to squeeze blood from a stone. The Razzball podcast is back!
After a long two months the season is finally over. Maybe it's me but this season seems like it just got started. Oh wait, that's right this season is 60 games and about as filling as a Big Mac 20 minutes after you eat it. Don't worry Grey and yours truly are back for one more week as we run through the player awards for 2020 Fantasy Baseball based off of the Razzball Player Rater. So don't yell at us if you don't like it, blame our robot overlords. We talk the good, the bad, the odd, and the Luke Voit. It's a cornucopia of takes! It's the final Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast of 2020!
It's an annual tradition unlike any other, it's the Razzball Way Too Early Top 25 For 2021 Fantasy Baseball. That's right, Grey Albright, FML, and yours truly, work our way through the top 25. There's some surprises and I try and make a silly case for Michael Conforto. Hey, what can I say I'm out of touch with reality. Another riveting conversation with plenty of Grey "cackles" for the masses. It's the latest episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast
Welcome back to another week of the Razzball Podcast, this week we play everyone's favorite new game "Do You Trust These Dudes?" First up are Anthony Santander, Brandon Lowe, Trent Grisham, and Teoscar Hernandez! Do we trust these guys? Welp, you're going to have to listen to find out. We then dive into prospect callups from the last week, before talking trades and potential waiver targets in RazzSlam. It's almost like a normal week of fantasy baseball! Anything is possible!!!!
Scott White, Sr. Writer for CBS Sports, talks with B_Don and Donkey Teeth about the shortened 2020 season. The guys ask Scott about his expectations for his Braves for both hitting and pitching. We ask Scott about his thoughts on Mike Trout as he comes in at 5 among his rankings.
The guys then move on to discuss the recent CBS roto auction. Scott criticizes DT and B_Don's approach in the auction grabbing 3 top hitters in Ronald Acuña Jr. ($49), Cody Bellinger ($44), and Chrsitian Yelich ($56). The podcast hosts then explain their thinking toward the full stars and scrubs approach.
We move on to Scott's team and how he planned his team prior to the auction. We get his take on Francisco Lindor and his possibilities of being traded, and his expectations for Mike Soroka.
Maybe one day we'll spend an episode breaking down baseball related injuries, trades, and actual fantasy play. However, that's not our reality. So Grey and I return for another week with the freshest updates on opt-outs, COVID list, and the testing. The last week's activity did open up opportunity for a few players and we get into each playing time battle. Additionally we had a host of Summer Camp action this week and we take some time to fawn over the top players, namely Kyle Lewis. Strap on your helmets, we're back for another week of the Razzball Podcast.
These unprecedented times call for unprecedented preparation for upcoming fantasy drafts. Never before have we had the worry of a player opting out of the season after or even during our drafts. So now we plan, we update, we read the news (baseball news), and we pray our teams stay in tact. Is this a silly pastime? Absolutely! Are there many much more important issues? Of course! But level with me, we all need some release and I like many of you hope this sixty game sprint can provide the escape we all need. In this vein Grey and I breakdown the opt outs, the positive tests, and the opportunities created. It's the latest episode of the Razzball podcast in it's most apocalyptic form.
Another week and another actual show about baseball! Imagine that? We're off politics again and back on that fantasy baseball flow. Grey and I dive into the 60 man rosters and then have an in depth conversation on how to attack pitching this season. The long and short, nobody knows but pitching is going to be filled with landmines for a variety of reasons. It's the latest episode of the Razzball podcast. Now with 60% more baseball!
We recorded an episode over the weekend before the news broke. I was drunk, Grey was handsome, and baseball seemed very unlikely. This show will never see the light of day, as MLB decided to blindside us with actual baseball! Knowing this new, uh, news, Grey and I got on the line and said, "We gotta give the people the good new, uh, news!" So like a couple of missionaries stationed in a foreign land, we brought the good news. The news of baseball's return and the glorious idea of the NL DH. Due to our excitement around the potential boost for several NL players in fantasy, Grey and I go team by team breaking down viable DH candidates for every club. It's a glorious return to baseball!
Baking, Baseball, and Baseball not being played that's the theme for this week's show as Shelly Verougstraete of several websites (Rotographs, Dynasty Guru, Pitcher List, Prospects 365, and Over the Monster) and the best baking Instagram you'll ever witness joins us. We indulge in our virtual sweet tooth as Grey and Shelly talk baking and I just drool at Shelly's Instagram. Boy that sounds different when read aloud. No matter, we get into last week's draft and some of the top fantasy names to look for, as well as discuss a little of the current MLB versus MLBPA drama. It's another can't miss episode of the Razzball podcast.
After a tumultuous week in the news for both national issues of race as well as MLB's current negotiations we found it only fitting to bring on someone with a great deal of insight on both race relations and how it relates to MLB. Our guest Randy Wilkins is a Filmmaker, Director of the AppleTV Show "Dear...", as well as the director of ESPN 30 for 30 Short 86-32 (which you can watch at that link) and Docket 32357. Additionally, he provides Yankees analysis in his free time. Oh, and BTW our dude owns a few Emmys. It's a riveting discussion and one worth tuning into for Randy's perspective alone. A few times we mention his Twitter thread that went viral, that's here:
I am going to write some tweets about the MLB statement since this combines two things that I care deeply about: social justice and baseball. I will try my best to make them coherent so bear with me.

It's the latest episode of the Razzball Podcast.
