This is a guest blog sent over from my friends at TradeDebate.com, where users are able to post possible trade scenarios and the community votes on the winning side. Hot starts in baseball are a lot like hot woman. Some are good from far, while others are far from good. Some may be super attractive …
This is a great, well-thought out blog post from Mat Harrison's "Fantasy Sports Diary," but I just don't agree with a lot of it, unfortunately. First, check out A Guide to Fantasy Trading, by Fantasy Sports Diary, then we'll talk. It's not to say that I think he's wrong -- but that Fantasy Baseball owners are …
My first column posted to SportsIllustrated.com has to do with the insane situation going on with relievers -- closers specifically. In the time that this article was written, and then posted, there have already been a couple more closers bounced out!

There’s only one thing left to do once Opening Day (truly) begins on Wednesday -- have fun. Did he just say, “Have fun,” like my Aunt …
If you are reading this, you are a special kind of person. I don’t mean short-bus special, but I mean, special in the “information addict” kinda way.
