Those who are fans of “Fantasy Focus Baseball” on ESPN know about their bet board.  Just in case you don’t, each time they strongly disagree about something they make a bet and “put it on the board”.  Then they track everything to see how it plays out.

Here at Fantasy Gameday, we will be doing something along the same lines.  As we progress throughout the 2010 off-season, statements will be made by the writing staff or posters in the comments section.  Anytime there is a definitive disagreement on what will happen during the 2010 baseball season, I will “put it on the board”.  Of course the parameters will be set and a measure determined.

So here is the Bet Board
