Draft day is like Christmas, New Year’s, and my birthday all wrapped up in one ball of joyous expectation. Howard explained in his Draft Results article about how this league works. A quick recap. We have 25 man active rosters (with two players at each IF position, 6 OFs, 9 P), a $260 salary [...]
It’s that time of year again when Keith and I do our best Miss Cleo impressions. We skip the love and life lines though, and go right for our fantasy baseball hopefuls. You can go back and take a look at how we did last year by clicking HERE, but for now, let’s get down [...]

With Nyjer Morgan struggling this spring, he could quickly lose his hold on the starting job. Morgan was slated to be a full time starter and leadoff hitter, but his .224 OBP, 2 CS, and a K/BB ratio of 7/2 are going to change that. With Craig Monroe hitting for [...]

Starting Pitchers
Tim Lincecum, SF — high strikeouts, low ratios, wins will come
