Fantasy Football is a strange topic. With most things, like real sports or politics or news, one can seek one source or one site and be informed enough to go about their business. But with Fantasy Football, people want as many sources sharing their opinion as possible. That's why following these top 66 Fantasy Football …
Why post a list of Fantasy Baseball Twitter accounts? Well, for several reasons – first of which is that Twitter is an invaluable source of information for Fantasy Baseball owners. Secondly, because these guys do great work in trying to assist nearly every owner that asks them a question. (See my post on “How to …
A couple days ago, I wrote an article about the Best Five Fantasy Baseball Books that every owner should read – if they want to win. In doing so, I mentioned how I believe Ron Shandler of BaseballHQ.com would be one of the faces on a Fantasy Baseball Mount Rushmore monument. When I wrote that, …
Over the past three or four years, on Fantasy Baseball magazine has stood out above the rest – and I really don’t think it’s close. I got my digital copy of “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2015” this week, and once again, I’m supremely impressed by the people involved, the design and – most of all …
As lucky and wondrous as the San Francisco baseball seasons were in 2010 and 2012, were the years 2011 and 2013 askew. Injuries, sub-par performances, and the cosmic giggle caught up with the Giants -- a team built upon pitching the last few years -- contributing to real and virtual chaos for the McGowan family and …
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 …
The 2014 Catcher Rankings might not be the sexiest place to start our season rankings for each position, but then again, I think chunky Christina Aguilera looks better than the skinny version. So what do I know about sexy!?! Many of you that know me know that I'm a huge fan of the catchers position. …
Every now and then, I like to step back and regroup, and explain what I’ve been doing lately. At least from a professional perspective, I want to share with you what’s going on with this blog, with this brain and with this rash that just … won’t … clear up. Why do you care? Why …
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 …
Once again, picking up saves on the free-agent market appears to be a popular move among the week's Tout Wars transactions. The Mixed League has 15 teams, and there are only 30 closers to spread around, give or take an injured guy and a reliever losing his job. So since some teams have three or …
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 …
Taking a look at the Tout Wars Mixed League bids before Week 2 of the Fantasy Baseball season! It looks like several owners have lost faith in Brewers closer John Axford, as they made reliever Jim Henderson the most expensive free-agent purchase of 2013 so far. Axford has looked bad, so it could be a …
It's Tout Wars transactions time! Each week, I'll try to post the FAAB results from the Tout Wars Mixed League, so readers can get a sense of what the writers are trying to accomplish. Ideally, I'll get this up early in the morning, so you can see before you make your own add/drops. In my …
Every season, Fantasy Baseball owners get super excited about the incoming crop of rookies – and the returning group of Fantasy Baseball sophomores are quietly placed in the toy bin with everything else. Fantasy writers, however, are usually more excited about sophomores (check auction prices in LABR and Tout Wars in any given year). I …
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 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 …
Looking for the best Fantasy Baseball apps for your iPad and iPhone can be troublesome and time consuming. There are a lot of great ones out there, with a handful of crappy ones sprinkled in as well. Then again, I noticed that there were fewer apps out there this year, compared to last year. Or …
I recently got a digital copy of “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2013” magazine, and I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed. During my time at CBSSports.com, we churned out several Fantasy Baseball magazines over the five years I was a writer there. So I have a soft spot for this medium, as a writer, and …
