I know that Yovanni Gallardo made all the news highlights last night, but did anyone notice who he pitched against? It was Ian Snell. While everyone was maveling about Gallardo hitting a solo home run to win the game for himself, and striking out 11 batters along the way, Snell pitched seven strong innings. On […]

After writing about my teams this past weekend, I began to think about the top scoring teams in baseball. I wondered about what percentage of my players are on the top ten scoring teams. This then led me to think about how many of my players are on the bottom ten scoring teams. I ask […]

Sitting here looking at my teams after three weeks of the season is a maddening experience. One team looks good, the other a Mash Unit, and the other a collection of nonperforming stars. I know it is only three weeks, but I am wondering why my roto teams always start off so slow. Yesterday, I […]

I took part in a Head to Head 10 team league draft the other night. This is a points league, so my normal roto style draft techniques went out the window. The stat categories are as follows:

Finally the Rockies announced that Huston Street will be the closer to start the season. Now if they would have just listened to me in the first place, the decision would not have been so hard. Of course this has me completely messed up in the Fantasy Gameday League. I missed out on closers during […]

I took part in my first auction draft last Saturday. It is a 6 team 5×5 roto AL-Only league that I joined because I am in an auction hockey league with the commissioner and one other owner. The other 5 owners had been members of the league in previous years, and I was the only […]
