Prospect News: Shopping Ross Discounts or Will Bush Break Out?

Atlanta is getting incredible production from a shortstop spot manned by Maurcio Dubon (139 wRC+) and Jorge Mateo (222 wRC+), but if they should need another in-house option before Ha-Seong Kim returns from injury, Braves SS Jim Jarvis (25) is firing on all cylinders for Triple-A Gwinnett, slashing .411/.506/.575 with three home runs and 13 stolen bases in 19 games. Defensive prowess has been the carrying tool throughout his baseball life, so it’s surprising to see him roaring out of the gate like this. A left-handed hitter at 5’9” 190 pounds, he’s never slugged .400 as a professional. Hasn’t even gotten especially close, but he’s always controlled the strike zone and taken his walks, maintaining a K:BB ratio somewhere in that sweet spot of 1:1 with a teenage strikeout rate. He’s been hunting a lot more than ever before this year, moving the contact point out front just a bit and really seeking pitches he can pull with loft. Click here to see doing just that and launching an inside pitch.

Waiver Wire Week 5: Boogie Nights

We’re about a month into the season, and now’s the time to make some moves. I have seen some bizarre drops across many of my leagues, and it’s amazing to watch how every waiver wire plays out differently. You might not know this about me, but I play in over 30 leagues. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Welcome back to the Pain Train, Razzball Enjoyers and Haters.

Since we last met, things have escalated quickly, and at the top of that escalator, there is a revolving door.

No time to waste. Let’s hop in!

Updates From Last Time

We’ll go a little backwards this week and start with a few follow-ups on players we’ve been discussing the last few weeks:

Zach Eflin (SP, BAL): Last time, we talked about the bright red flag that was Zach Eflin seeking out a second opinion. Please, blog, may I have some more?

I’ve Been Brainwashed Buy A Colt

grey@razzball.com (Grey Albright) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 19:00:05 +0000

The Mariners gave Colt Emerson $95 million. Now the first thing you might think is, how long can he stay in the minors if they’re paying him that much? That was the 2nd thing I thought. The first thing I thought was, what is his life like in the minors with that much money? Please, blog, may I have some more?

Rolling In The Deep: Navigating The Gray Area

What’s up, friends? We’re more than halfway through April, and hopefully your teams are humming along like a well-oiled machine. Unfortunately, “well-oiled machine” does not describe most of my teams, but thankfully, there’s still plenty of time to tinker. (Do remind me in the future to cut back on the draft and holds, though. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Jack Leiter: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

grey@razzball.com (Grey Albright) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:00:53 +0000

If you read my posts regularly, you know by now that I have an aversion to young pitchers. Some of them are outstanding from the start, but the majority need time to learn their craft. Well, it looks like Jack Leiter has finally learned his craft, turning himself into a pitcher and not just a thrower off the mound. His first taste of the majors in 2024 did not go well. Last season he had his ups and downs, especially during the first half of the season. But the Rangers stuck with him and the more experience he got, the better he became. The success he had in the second half of the 2025 season has carried over into 2026, making Leiter an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Bullpen Chart

grey@razzball.com (Grey Albright) — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:00:22 +0000

Here you will find bullpen charts for each team. Bullpens are a messy business to track, but the purpose here is to highlight each team's closer(s) and setup men. You can more or less expect the chart to read left-to-right in order of importance, but again, it can be a fluid situation day-to-day, week-to-week (looking at you, Tampa Bay Rays!). So, not only are we highlighting saves options, we've got you saves+holds folks covered, too!

You know the GIF of Antonio Banderas from Assassins where he’s leaning back, exhaling and loving life? If you don’t know, don’t google it, because it’ll live in your head like mine and pop up every time you have a pleasurable moment. Please, blog, may I have some more?

One Man’s Trash: You Shall Know And Respect The Man Named Laureano

Respect has always been an interesting concept for me. As a Korean American, I was brought up to always respect my elders and people in positions of authority. In high school, though, I would see older kids punking the younger ones under the guise of the “system.” Please, blog, may I have some more?
