Welcome to my weekly Free Agent Acquisition Bidding/Budget (FAAB) column where my goal is to have you confidently prepared to acquire the hitters and pitchers off free agency or waivers to make your team better. Like most everything else in life, you get out what you put in. Those quickly slapping one and two dollar […]
From the Gut – Don’t Panic
We eat, sleep and breathe. We are human. We’ve also spent months preparing for our drafts and couldn’t wait for the regular season to start. That is why as fantasy players, our inherent reaction to a slow start to our fantasy teams is to panic. I’m here to tell you not to do that. It’s […]
Vlad’s FAAB Values – Week 2

From the Gut: This Year’s Yelich
Around this time last season, I made a rather bold prediction about Christian Yelich.

As most know, I rode the Yelich train all season, but […]

Even fair-weather fantasy players are smelling that sweet scent of baseball in the […]
