Here we goooo! With the regular season just around the corner, most of us are in heavy draft mode. Some of us who play NFBC (and even many folks who play elsewhere – Fantrax, RT, ESPN, CBS, etc.) usually find out our draft spots well ahead of the actual draft. Whether you’re in a 10, […]

The Braves sure seem to have a never-ending supply of power arms to turn to in the rotation. It also seems like all of those arms are 25 years of age or much younger. Sean Newcomb will turn 26 in June, but he is still one of those young arms the club hopes to build […]

Which guys are good against lefties? Which batters struggle against soft tossers? Conversely, which arms struggle at home or dominate hitters with swing and miss tendencies? In what can be a maddening game of chasing numbers down a rabbit hole, it’s nice to have someone hold your hand and guide you through the maze, or […]

A cross county trip for Tout Wars is always one of the highlights of the month of March. The draft at least. Am I the only one who detests children flying on planes? At least babies? My red eye was a trip from hell as a one year old behind me screamed the entire time […]

That said, he figures to play daily for the Orioles, he is likely to continue to run no matter what the results are, and he qualifies up the middle in the infield. When talking fantasy baseball in 2019, that’s […]

For those who still employee this format, please consider running a league vote to switch to FAAB. No matter how you pronounce it, FAAB stands for Free Agent Acquisition Budget but the […]

Ray Flowers and Vlad Sedler take counter positions on a single player, one for, one against. Which one of our experts do you agree with? Does either strike a knockout blow? Is there a TKO? Is there a need for another round? Two or our best analysts give their thoughts on a player for the […]

The Opener came into vogue last season. You know, the reliever that starts a game who might face just the first couple of batters or even pitch into the second inning, and then is relieved by a guy who goes on to pitch roughly the same number of innings as a backend starter (4-5 innings […]
