For those that want to get straight to the point, you can see the full board here. Overall, I was very happy with my team.  I had the number 2 pick overall, and only a few times missed a guy I was targeting.  Here is my team by round: Overall 2 ..read more

Howard Bender (aka. Mock Draft Army) and the guys over at Fantrax were kind enough to invite me to participate in another mock draft in prep for the 2017 season. There was a lot of talent in the room including: Mastersball's Lawr Michaels, Fantasy Alarm's Colby Conway, and Fantasy Alarm / Big Guy Fantasy Sports's Nate Miller.  It was the first serious mock draft of 2017 for me and the results were promising. It was a relatively standard format: 25 round, 1 catcher league.  I was drafting from the 7th slot and ended up with a team that looked like this: Click here for a complete roster ..read more

While some disagree with this strategy, it's one that i'm passionate about, and one that has lead me to a number of successful seasons. ​One common reoccurring suggestion I’ve heard from many experts in the fantasy baseball community is “wait on closers” or “don’t pay for closers”.  "You can always get saves late in drafts", or "guys lose ..read more

Understanding Fantasy Baseball - Articles and Analysis
by
4y ago
Last week, I was invited to participate in a Mock Draft Army early season mock draft hosted by Howard Bender and the folks over at Fantrax. It was an interesting draft to say the least.  I wasn't nearly as prepared as I would liked to have been, however was able to field what I felt was a solid roster. It's far to early to give an extensive analysis, however I will share the results of the draft here. Over the next few weeks, I'll likely do many more of these and give much more analysis.  For today though, simply enjoy the grid. Projections and rankings coming soon.  Stay tuned ..read more

While the NFL season progresses deeper into the playoffs (go Pats!), for me, fantasy baseball prep in full swing.  I've had  a busy off season redesigning  spreadsheets I use to create my projections and rankings (see sample above). Using this, I expect to be able to provide even better, more accurate projections and auction value calculations. Tentatively, I expect to have my first iteration of projections published by February 1st, continual weekly updates will follow. please continue to check in and feel free to leave any comments or questions ..read more

That said, I try to be accountable wherever possible and recently took a look back to my preseason picks. Let's see how I've have fared: 1. Josh Reddick finishes as a top 20 fantasy outfielder.  I think this one really could have come through had he not missed a month with a broken thumb.  Before hitting the DL he was on pace for a 20/20 fantasy season ..read more

The Art and Etiquette of Trading

This next article is a partial excerpt from my book. At this point in the season, it seems like an appropriate article for so many reasons. Many questions I receive are about trades, and some are more difficult to answer than others. Not necessarily because they are difficult choices, but because they are terrible offers. In addition to helping fantasy owners make the right decisions with their trades, I also want to help people understand that there is a right and wrong approach to trading.  -- One of the most popular topics in any fantasy sport is trading.  Most people love to trade.  It g ..read more
