On 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.

It’s time for the annual pitcher rant! In this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, we break down Grey’s 2026 Starting Pitcher Rankings. B_Don goes on a statistical rabbit hole and talks about the ERA trends, and yes, the even-year ERA conspiracy theory lives on.Up top, Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes lead the way, but the real debates start in Tier 2 and beyond. Can Garrett Crochet repeat after a massive workload jump and late HR issues? Was Yoshinobu Yamamoto exactly who we thought he was? Are Hunter Brown, Bryan Woo, and Cristopher Sanchez true anchors or just riding peak ratios? We dig into SIERA, FIP, velo changes, pitch mix tweaks, and who had what luck to sort skill from smoke.We tackle innings limits, injury risks, and aging veteran value. From safe innings-eaters to volatile upside arms, we help you figure out who to trust, who to fade, and how to build your staff for 2026.

Grey is back, the tiers are back (kind OF, haha get it), and the outfield is…a lot. On this episode of the Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, B_Don asks Grey about his 2026 Outfield Rankings. We talk outfield anchors, risky upside plays, boring-but-good vets, and Statcast darlings who may or may not be lying to us. There’s a deep dive on James Wood’s and Pete Crow-Armstrong’s tale of two halves, and who we think are ADP values versus bad bets. We break down swings, stolen base merchants, aging vets, and prospects knocking loudly on the door.If you’re trying to figure out where the drop-offs are, who you should actually draft as your OF3, and which names are traps wearing Statcast perfume, we’ve got you covered. Plus, the occasional conspiracy theory from B_Don. Side note: Who wants in the podcast league?

Shortstop: 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.
