My last draft of the season is this one, a 12-team mixed league held with the other hosts from SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio (Sirius 210, XM87). After a long an arduous draft season, this will be my sixth draft of a league in which I will play it out (that’s a good number of leagues […]

Draft Pockets
Anyone can read an ADP list, even though most folks don’t use those correctly (How to Use ADP Properly). Nuance though, like as reading the draft room, is likely even more important than the same old list. That said, there’s still another way to use an ADP list to your advantage that was listed in […]
2019 Player Profile: Caleb Smith
Caleb Smith was rolling last season racking up a punchout an inning. Than an injury happened, one that required him to miss half the season and undergo surgery. Given that he’s not an elite level prospect, that last season was cut short, and that he pitches for the Marlins, there isn’t much hype around his […]
2019 Player Profile: Adam Frazier
I don’t know about you, but over the past few years I’ve often found myself targeting Adam Frazier as a pick up in season when injury strikes. He never does much to get excited about, but he’s always been a useful substitute piece once players start visiting the doctor’s office with regularity. This season he […]

2019 NFBC Main Event
Sin City. Booze. Blackjack. Shows. Lap dances. The date – March 23rd, 2019. The reason for traveling to Vegas, the third weekend out of four that I’ve been on the road in March (LABR and Tout Wars were the others), was to participate in Main Event of The NFBC for the Beat Ray Flowers Challenge. […]
2019 Player Profile: Justus Sheffield
One of my favorite, late round dart throws on the board this season is Justus Sheffield (see my LABR and Tout Wars teams where he ended up on my squads). Sheffield was recently demoted to the minors by the Mariners, but that doesn’t dampen his prospects this season, at least in my eyes, as I […]
2018 Splits: NL Pitchers
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 […]
