Post-Draft Review: Chase-ing Pink

Chase-ing Pink (ClemensDirtyNeedles) came away from the draft with a consensus steal as of the end of April: Pat “the bat” Burrell. In OBP leagues, Burrell is Diet Adam Dunn - he’ll never impress with the average, but a high OBP and he’ll hit 35+ HRs if he stays healthy. In the 9th round of our draft, I’d [...]

Post-Draft Review: Da Jesus

Da Jesus had an interesting draft. He went strong on pitching in the first two rounds, taking guys that the Dynasty Killas would have considered histop 2 pitchers on draft day: Aaron Harang and James Shields.

Lastings Milledge is a controversial player this spring on fantasy draft [...]

I’ve done them offline and in-person, I’ve done them live over the internet, and I’ve even done a few auto drafts in my younger and stupider days. I have to say that doing a fantasy draft is pretty much the [...]

Sal Fasano Update #5

We all know about the man’s legendary facial hair and his displeasure with competing with underachieving teammates Greg Zaun and Rod Barajas for the Blue Jays’ starting catcher position, but did you know that the infamous Dougie’s Going Deep Tonight “tall tale” was loosely based on Salvatore Frank Fasano’s journey through the minor leagues? True [...]
