Real Men of Genius: Worthless SB Specialists

Here’s to Mr. Slap Hitter, .296 OBP, 35 Stolen Base guy.
Although your pathetic hitting stats are a big drag on your teams overall production, your fantasy value is priceless.
So what if your OPS is less than .650? You were 35/55 in SB attempts.
So here’s to you Mr. Juan Pierre, Dave Roberts, and Willy Taveras. May [...]

League Update

http://baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/b2/746
Lecherous Goldenberg (formerly 40oz to Farney) is off to a good start, with 109 total points.
Can he hang on? Is this his year, after so many disappointing seasons, questionable trades, and mediocre waiver pickups?
With such a big lead, there is a good chance he will be able to hang on to the lead like Goldenberg’s grip [...]

Real Men of Genius

Today, we salute you, Mr. Useless Major League Baseball Catcher. If you had a catcher whose career OPS was .751, has only hit more than 13 HRs in any season (averaging 7 HRs per year since 2001) and provides shoddy defense, would you enjoying watching that player on your favorite team? More to the point, [...]

George W. Bush is the Best President Ever…

… at throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at baseball games. In light of opening day, I thought I’d point out that our president does do something well. The former owner of the Texas Rangers and current leader of the Free World (not the 313) has thrown out more ceremonial first pitches for major league [...]

Retire in Peace Woody Williams

Woody Williams was released by the Astros today in a move that should impact exactly zero of the millions of fantasy baseball owners worldwide.

Lastings Milledge: The Second Coming of Willie Mays?

Lastings Milledge has provoked more than a few discussions this spring. His hype was quieted in the Mets’ front office as they traded him for less in return than they got for Xavier Nady, but significantly more than they got for Scott Kazmir. Lastings Milledge is a controversial player this spring on fantasy draft [...]

Best Picks 2008

I’m going to pick out who I think was the best pick by round in the draft. These are obviously predictions, and some will be arbitrary. Picks are based on relative value and potential impact. Many of the later round picks were difficult to assess best and worst. There will be full rounds that end [...]
