Bio
I run a relatively new site that focuses solely on fantasy baseball. We cover all things such as rankings, projections, updates, strategies, one on one advice, etc. I played baseball growing up, never made it to pro ball, but always had an knack for spotting talent and was always pretty successful betting on games. I minored in Communications at UCSD and have been participating in fantasy leagues and high stakes tournaments annually over the past 20 years. My picks were usually more accurate than most experts, so by the encouragement of many others, I started a site putting my money where my mouth is. Armed with a baseball, communications (with a focus on journalism) and gambling background (my dad had me making NFL picks against the spread for fun by the time I was six), the transition into fantasy analyst was only natural and quite enjoyable! I update our rankings throughout the season and are constantly keeping tabs on all things baseball, looking for anything to gain that competitive edge. The rankings are meticulously developed all off-season, focusing mainly on advanced metrics and analytics.

 | Investing in a jumbled closer situation is never a great idea. Sometimes you may strike gold, but more often than not, that draft pick could have been spent on someone else far more valuable. If you do invest, it’s always … read more » |
 | Steals are likely to be up across the league this season, so spending an early draft pick on speed alone is not a great idea. There’s plenty of value to be had later, where a handful of guys could still … read more » |
 | Often in fantasy leagues, we find ourselves overpaying for name recognition rather than actual production. For example, a player who may have had a few great seasons years ago still has a better-than-deserved reputation. For one reason or another, the … read more » |
