The Tout Wars transactions results are in!!! WOO-HOO!!! OK, so it's not really all that exciting. But still, Tout Wars transactions make a big difference in my Monday morning. Who did I get? Who did I miss out on? Who spent a bunch of money on players I'm not crazy about!?! Rookie SP Tony Cingrani …
I love good old fashion roto fantasy baseball, but points based head-to-head leagues are my favorite. I'm in 2 local leagues and am undefeated so far, which is awesome, but now I face my brother in both leagues in week 3. What are the odds? Don't answer that smart ass, it was a rhetorical question. …
Like many of you, I have been playing Fantasy Baseball for many years. In my case, this is my 23rd season (when exactly did I get THAT old?), and I also happen to be the reigning champion of my NL-only auction league. It’s not a league of published "experts," but it is a highly competitive league …
Last week I was going all 1990 on you and that was fun and all, but 2013 is here and Bryce Harper is now the best Fantasy Baseball player ever. Sorry Mr. Ryne Sandberg. Twenty-one months ago I drafted Harper in a shallow 20 team Roto 6 player keeper league. Can a 20-team league even …
Why are these 2013 Fantasy Baseball SP Rankings so important to Fantasy owners? Well, starting pitchers affect four separate categories, and usually are responsible for your ranking in each of those categories. With 14 hitters in your lineup, one or two hitters aren’t going to pace the rest of your team in four categories. But …
These 2013 Fantasy Baseball Catcher Rankings get me a little excited. The position itself is one of the most interesting in all of sports. A baseball catcher has to know offense, defense and pitching. They’re the only position player that faces the entire field. They’re one of the most important players on the team – …
The 2013 Tout Wars Mixed Auction was once again – fantastic. We had a great weekend, which I’ll get into more later on, but first, I just wanted to share some lessons learned about the draft and some of the people and players involved. (Here are the results in spreadsheet form for all of the …
The 2013 Fantasy Baseball OF Rankings offer a little bit of everything to everyone, including those looking for 2013 Fantasy Baseball Head to Head Rankings. This Fantasy position is pretty unique for several reasons, which we’ll get into. The outfield rankings and starting pitcher rankings are the two positions Fantasy Baseball players debate the most. …
The 2013 Tout Wars weekend is officially over. But the second guessing has just begun! My ninth season of drafting in this league ended with a night at Foley’s, and everyone got a chance to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly. Most of what everyone discussed over beers and Irish fare will be …
The 2013 Tout Wars Mixed League auction action happens this Saturday afternoon! … Did you just piddle with excitement? I have a ton of work to do before then, including my dollar values and my rankings for this 15-team Rotisserie league. So today, I’m posting my initial rankings and auction values that I’ll be tweaking …
On January 9, I got a group email from Cory Schwartz of MLB.com asking if we wanted to join a 15-team 2013 Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft (mixed league, Rotisserie, 5x5). Of course, I said, “Uhh yeah!” as did the rest of the group, and the draft started within an hour. It’s a slow email draft, …
Sunday night, I was invited by FantasyTrade411.com invited me into a mock draft for their 2013 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide (COMING SOON!). A few rounds into the draft, I decided to bite on Indians C/1B Carlos Santana. And as I was looking at my lineup, it suddenly dawned on me that this is one of …
