2008 Roto Fantasy Baseball - The Legend Of The “Sleeper”

February 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Every year in the draft, the experts tout their “sleepers”, who then quickly get taken up four rounds before they were valued at. Well, only problem with that strategery is that even if the guy pans out and produces stats at the level you reached for him at, most likely you still did not […]

February 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Gotten a few people more than a bit overwhelmed by the differences between the ranks purely done by percentages of stats in the 5 roto categories.  Seems that one thing that people might be forgetting is that every stat counts, so the more balanced someone is over the 5 categories, the better they are going […]

2008 Roto Fantasy Baseball Rankings

February 9th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Fresh off the press, just got finished.
Before I unveil the ranks, let me first tell you how I put them together. Inevitably, someone is going to tell me that I am an idiot. It’s going to happen.
Math Has A Purpose?
Yes, folks, math can be used in the real world…er, well, fantasy world. […]

January 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Yea, I know. Fantasy baseball drafts are still at least a month away. That, and I have barely posted at all, especially concerning WSU hoops, the A’s, the Sharks etc. Well, all I can say is:

I am taking 19 credits this semester (full time is 12)

Biting The Hand That Feeds: Another Look Into How Deep MLB Has Their Heads Buried Deep In Their Asses

December 26th, 2007 · 1 Comment

On this special Boxing Day edition, I’d like to take a look at a few things… really just once again to beat that dead horse and drive that point home that:

Bud Selig doesn’t have a clue
MLB is constantly trying to screw over its loyal fans

To begin, I have to start by reminding all of you […]

Winning Your Roto League - Are Stolen Bases Overrated?

November 1st, 2007 · No Comments

To begin, I’ll have to admit that I’m basing this off of a very small sample size: four roto leagues - two from 2006 and two from 2007. That being said, I thought that what I found was kind of cool… and possibly very helpful for those of you looking for an edge next […]

September 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments

There’s a lot of talk about All-Stars, sleepers, and guys who stepped up their game. But what about those few souls who royally screwed over fantasy managers like Eric Mangini has done to the Pats? Well, I’ve decided to use my ability to flood the internets with garbage to give these individuals […]
