After suffering through baseball’s worst record from 2011–2013, the Astros and their fan base need something to look forward to. During the past three years, they are 118 games worse by record than baseball's best team, the Texas Rangers (280-206). To make matters worse, the Astros are 33 games worse over this time frame than …
Last week, I got a digital copy of my favorite Fantasy Baseball magazine, “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2014" and once again, I come away incredibly impressed. As I've mentioned in the past, like an old character actor dropping names at a party, I worked on several Fantasy Baseball magazines in my 14 years writing about …
Last year, Fantasy Baseball owners were thoroughly disappointed by the production they got from the recently acquired B.J. Upton. With the letdown and the hole that B.J. Upton left in the lineup with his lackluster performance, other players emerged and broke on to the scene. Evan Gattis and Chris Johnson had career years and both …
Two deep and it has been everything you've waited for since last December when your league's championship was won right? Remember it isn't time to give up on some top options.

It is unlikely that there will be an Alfred Morris type darling sitting around on Monday morning, but currently there are some available …
I've been talking about how awesome the DraftWizard Mock Draft Simulator is, but one thing I haven't really highlighted yet is the Keeper Mock Draft Simulator part. I'm in several keeper drafts, three of which draft this week! So I've been doing a few mocks on this tool this week. What's cool is, you can …

It’s one of the only exercises in the world that people just flat out enjoy. If only mock …
A few months ago, after a softball game and during several beers at Maguires, our local pub, SI.com’s Eric Mack and I started talking about doing a Fantasy podcast together. After months of putting it off, thinking we’d never get our act together, and thousands of chicken wings, we finally held our first “Fantasy Fatcast” …
Writing ain't easy. And being a Fantasy Sports writer ain't easy either – in spite of what every person that has every played Fantasy Baseball or Football thinks. And while writing a book about Fantasy Sports might not be easy either, my review of Matthew Berry's book, "Fantasy Life: The Outrageous, Uplifting, and Heartbreaking World …
