Mar 1001:23:18Tap to summarizeGrey and B_Don dive deep into the late rounds of your 2026 fantasy baseball drafts, searching for the hidden value that can win leagues after pick 200. The guys break down their favorite upside prospects and discuss how to balance playing-time risk with breakout potential late in drafts. We take a look at some category specialists who can fill roster holes. Some of them built for speed and some built power, but all of them might be useful pieces to your roster depending on the league depth. We also cover undervalued bats who could pile up counting stats and plus batting-average stabilizers. On the pitching side, Grey and B_Don discuss late-round starters with intriguing metrics or bounce-back potential. Some of them should be good veteran options for innings while others bring the upside. The show wraps up with cheap saves speculation along with a few late IL stash lottery tickets.

Mar 301:22:59Tap to summarizeSpring Training is here and the hype trains are ready to leave the station! On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we dive into the sexy names of Spring Training that have been lighting up box scores and ask the real question: is this helium worth the brain cells lost?Konnor Griffin is already hitting bombs and has fantasy managers dreaming of a teenage Opening Day roster spot. We also talk Kevin McGonigle’s absurd line so far and what he’s been doing in spring, and Zac Veen shows up like a BEEFCAKE. We hit on some of the other names that we discussed in position rankings, but could be climbing our daft boards.On the pitching side, Ryan Weathers is touching 99 and shoving his way into relevance, while Andrew Painter looks healthy and smooth in his first action. Are we moving either up meaningfully in the rankings?Then it’s time for SAGNOF. We run through murky closer situations in Tampa Bay, Washington, Minnesota, A’s, Anaheim, Texas, and Arizona because nothing says “fantasy baseball is back” like trying to guess saves at the start of March.
Transcribe →The Hamate's Connected To The IL
Feb 2401:16:17Tap to summarizeOn this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don break out the medical charts because apparently the hamate bone is connected directly to the IL. We dive into the wrist woes of Francisco Lindor, Corbin Carroll, and Jackson Holliday, and what a typical 4–8 week recovery really means for your draft board. Are we buying the Opening Day optimism, and what kind of discount are we applying? We talk about a few of the examples (or maybe not so much) from the past. It’s not just wrists causing chaos, the injury list is open for all comers. Jordan Westburg, Spencer Schwellenbach, Lawrence Butler, and Yainer Díaz each have their own issues. We talk Brett Baty’s hamstring and whether he even has a job, plus fallout from Anthony Santander’s labral surgery. And what does the Jesús Sánchez for Joey Loperfido swap mean for playing time?We also relive B_Don’s WHARF draft apocalypse: Josh Hader’s biceps inflammation, the helium on Bryan Abreu, and the immediate post-draft injury alerts for Joe Ryan and Merrill Kelly. Plus, we cover all the pitcher updates for Blake Snell, Zack Wheeler, Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, Jared Jones, Shane McClanahan, and Shane Bieber.
Transcribe →Grey's SP Rankings For 2026 Part 2
Feb 1902:34:07Tap to summarizeGrey and B_Don are back with Part 2 of the Razzball Starting Pitcher Rankings, diving headfirst into the murky middle tiers. This is where drafts are won, lost, and occasionally set on fire. And according to Grey, they’re all FREE! The guys break down the steady-but-flawed vets, debate whether you should be worried about the health and innings from some guys, , and ask how much of last year’s ERA was skill versus smoke and mirrors. We talk about which guys got lucky last year, who made real changes we believe, what guys might be on the decline, and who has better stuff than their numbers show. From boring-but-useful innings eaters to post-TJ gambles, velo risers, pitch-mix tweakers, and regression magnets, Grey and B_Don sort through the chaos to help you figure out who to trust, who to fade, and who to grab when your draft room starts panicking. If you’re staring at SP40 through SP100 and wondering whether you’re drafting stability or a ticking time bomb, this episode is for you.

There are players that we like at their draft cost, and others not so much. There’s still upside out there along with the consistent value guys that go underrated and unnoticed in drafts.

Transcribe →Grey's 3B Rankings For 2026
Feb 501:44:56Tap to summarizeThe hot corner is back on the couch, and… it’s a ride. In this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we break down third base rankings for 2026, we already covered the elite guys at the position in the top 20 podcast, but there’s still plenty of players to cover. We walk through the tiers, and, well, things get weird fast.From there, it’s a tour through potentially rancid mayo, rebound cases, Statcast mirages, and power bats that may or may not still have pulse. We dig into Austin Riley’s troubling trends, Eugenio Suárez’s Reds reunion and power surge, Alex Bregman’s new Chicago glow-up, and the eternal question of whether this is finally the Matt Chapman season we deserve.There’s upside plays (Royce Lewis, Noelvi Marte), belief-based drafting (Addison Barger, Murakami, Okamoto), aging stars testing our faith (Max Muncy, Arenado), and a long stretch of “do I need this guy or am I just panicking?” names that define deep-league 3B life. By the end, we’re firmly in Odds, Ends, and Mostly Butts territory.If you’re drafting third base early, late, or hoping to avoid it altogether, this episode helps you figure out where the talent cliff actually is, who’s still worth believing in, and who’s just smiling through the pain.
Transcribe →Grey's SS Rankings For 2026
Feb 301:45:55Tap to summarizeShortstop: the best position in fantasy… or is it just the least painful? On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we dive headfirst into the 2026 SS rankings and ask the real question: does every position kind of stink now, or are we just old and cynical? Along with these questions, we talk about how we like to attack the SS and MI position in our drafts.We already discussed the elite names on earlier episodes, but there’s plenty left to cover. We wade through a sea of perfectly ripe avocados, squishy veterans, cracked ceilings, paper fortune tellers, and full-on abyss tiers. From Zach Neto and CJ Abrams, to aging speed gods like Trea Turner, risky injury vets, post-hype question marks, and the prospects to get excited about. We talk Statcast trends, bat speed, stolen base sustainability, injury red flags, and whether you should feel good, fine, or deeply uneasy about your MI.
