Post-Draft Review: Carlos Silva 40M

In a true show of how he feels about his team 3 weeks into the season, Silva 40M has renamed his team “Worst Team Ever”.  This is probably due to the unimpressive starts to the season that Uggla, Zimmerman, and Carlos Pena (compared to last year).
The draft is really what’s killing him. After Rafael Furcal, [...]

Post-Draft Review: Adorable Baby Pandas

In light of the long time between the last post draft review and the reality of being already 3 weeks into the season, the remaining Post Draft Reviews will be slightly different from the previous ones.
Note: The team has changed it’s name to The Three Seashells.

RA DICKEY V. JOE SAUNDERS, APR 18

RA Dickey will get his first start of the year today. Joe Saunders has been hot, beating up on the M’s last Sunday to avoid a sweep.
What to expect from RA Dickey - 74 - 81(!) MPH knuckleball, mixed in with a 88 - 91 MPH fastball, and an occasional 65 - 70 MPH [...]

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 [...]

Why R.A. Dickey is so freaking awesome
by D.A. Rickey

RA Dickey was selected in the Rule 5 draft by the Seattle Mariners last year from the Minnesota Twins.
Now you are probably thinking, haven’t I heard of this guy? I thought he sucked. And your right! He did suck. Big time. Mostly with the Rangers.
But, after [...]

First Annual Booze Draft

OK, it’s time for the first annual “Booze Draft” as a precursor to the actual fantasy draft. The rules are simple:
You must select the drinks you would like to consume during the actual fantasy draft. The drinks fit into one of several categories (analogous to positions on your “real” fantasy team).

Not really about fantasy baseball but…

Critique my Team

So this is my team from my “mock” draft.  I usually do two yahoo! leagues - its not that much harder to do two teams rather than one.  Especially when you don’t really pay attention to the other one.
Same stats as us, except AVG instead of OBP.  12 teams.  I missed the first 7 picks [...]

Draft Results, last year

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at last year’s draft. My team should have been terrible, mostly because of injuries. I must have made some good trades and waiver pickups to be in 1st for as long as I was.
