When last we left off, C.C. Sabathia and Ray Durham became Brewers, Billy Beane shipped Rich Harden to the Cubs and Joe Blanton to the Phillies, Jon Rauch came out west to Arizona and even good ol’ Randy Wolf got himself a new address. The waiver wires were a frenzy as the NL got loaded [...]
One of the more exciting weeks in baseball, isn’t it? Sort of makes me feel like a little kid the week before Christmas. We’ve got the trade deadline coming up on Thursday, injuries popping up all over the place, and a whole slew of new guys added to the player pool. You’ve got more players switching [...]
It is important to come out of the gate fast. The second half is here, and it is a fresh start. Time to pull out all the stops, produce top results, and put your best foot forward. I mean, without a huge hottie presenting the first Buzzie Awards of the second half, why even bother [...]
You know what sucks? After the trading and waiver pickup deadlines have passed, there is nothing that we can really do to improve our teams. What ya’ got ya’ got. All that is left to do is to manage your roster. Get those hurt guys out, put in guys that are winning time, and check [...]
If kinesiology, the study of physiology and its relation to body movement, can be a declared major for some in college, then who’s to say we can’t create a Fantasy Kinesiology Department here at the Rotobuzz Fantasy Education facility? We’ll call it the study of roster adjustment and its relation to player movement. Yup. That’s right. School’s [...]
Depth is key. Without viable backup players on your bench, you may as well pack it in right now. The waiver deadline is approaching. The trading deadline is approaching. Soon your roster will be set, and to quote my ol’ grandpappy, “Ya’ got what ya’ got.” Injuries are a fact of professional sports, and therefore [...]
Here we go. Second half is underway and it’s back to business. If you’re in contention, then you should be surfing the waiver wire every chance you can get. Other league members could be dropping someone that may fit better on your squad, and the call-ups are already coming. If you’re in an AL or [...]
Here we are, less than a week into the second half of the season and we’re still being inundated with questions about the booms and busts of this year’s fantasy season. Should I keep this guy? Will he continue to play like this? What can I expect in a deal for this guy? The list goes on and [...]
Well, all right. The All Star Break is over and we’re past the short week. Time to get back to business. We’ve got a big second half here and it’s make or break time for many of you contenders. Now while Keith and I have watched our trade deadlines come and gone, many of you still have a [...]
We geeks have a code. Our own special language. Often we aren’t even aware we are speaking it. The words come out, and those who aren’t in the fantasy baseball world have no idea what we are talking about. In the effort to help communication with our non-baseball loving brethren (and sistren), I have developed a [...]
