You've made it nearly halfway through the draft, and you've enacted a flawless Fantasy Baseball draft strategy. Whether you are following mine to the tee or not, doesn't matter (I hope you are though), but now you are literally to the point of the drafts where you mold your championship squad. Knowing which positions to …
I'm back again, this time with part two of the 2014 Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy Series. If you followed my Draft Strategy Part 1 you should be well on your way to a solid draft. You shouldn't rest easy, however, even though your first three picks can be critical, the picks which follow can truly …
Let’s face it -- unless you’re talking about the Lovable Losers’ past, you’re talking #CubbiesIn2017. The talk in fake circles last season was Anthony Rizzo leading the Baby Bears with 23 home runs, to the tune of a underwhelming .233 batting average and .323 on-base percentage.

This is the second in an ongoing series of 2014 Fantasy Profiles. I will be looking closer at MLB's top prospects who should have a real Fantasy impact on the 2014 season.

Over Saturday, I aggregated last week’s ZiPS and Steamer rest of season projections (found on Fangraphs) into one list, and then translated those numbers into Fantasy value using Jeffrey Gross’ E.Y.E.S. formula to come up with what one may consider the most thoughtful rest of season rankings. When I say, "most thoughtful," I simply try …
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. …
I'm a degenerate fake baseball junkie and Cubs fan and I'm not sure which one comes first. I used to have centerfolds from the vine Line all over my bedroom, Jerome Walton, Damon Berryhill, Mike Bielecki, Rick Sutcliffe, all of them, I loved those Cubbies.
