However, in many instances, …

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. …
