Phillies!

Congrats to the world champion Philadelphia Phillies, who beat the Rays in 5 games tonight. I never thought the Phillies would get this far but I am happy for them and for the fans of Philadelphia. If you are stuck with the losingest team in pro sports history, at least you should get a few [...]

Site news, the World Series (again)

We were supposed to have the rankings up today, and then the power went out most of the weekend and we haven’t had a chance to do any of them! Anyway sorry we didn’t have the rankings up at some point today but really we are quite a long ways away from most drafts so [...]

Catchers rankings, world series

I know I haven’t  posted a lot this week but I have been working on Fantasy Bullpen’s catchers rankings and there hasn’t been much news to post about anyway. Over the weekend I will finish the catchers projections, and post the preliminary list here some time on Sunday. It would take to much time and [...]

World Series game 1: Hamels vs. Kazmir

For the first time in recent memory I am actually looking forward to watching a world series game. I never like watching the playoffs when the Yankees are out, and with the combination of poor broadcasting and extreme lack of sabermetric involvement watching the world series has been even more painful. This is different though [...]

Congrats to the Rays!

I am proud to say I believed in the Rays as playoff contenders this spring, but I did not think they had that much of a shot against Boston. I am very glad they proved me wrong. One thing I would like to add about these playoffs from a fantasy perspective is that you guys [...]

Joba and the Red Sox

Sad news for Yankees fans, Joba Chamberlain was arrested for DUI in Nebrakska. The last time this happened within the organization it was Steve Swindle and we all saw his career go up in smoke. Doesn’t seem like Joba is going to miss any time, and I doubt this hurts his development but its not [...]

Draft kit update!

Over the last couple of days (and for the rest of the weekend) I have been working on and will be working on projections for the 2009 draft kit. Right now I’m working to recruit a few other blogs into this project (run a blog, think you can help, email me please!) and we hope [...]

Another keeper list

Ben writes:
Hey Alex,
Was hoping you could help me out with some tough decisions for my keeper league next year. After winning the league twice in a row, my team failed to come together this year, and I ended up throwing the season in about June for some keepers. My league’s specs: 10 teams, [...]

Looking back: 2005 top 5 prospects

One of the most difficult aspects of fantasy baseball is predicting the performance of rookies and minor leaguers. Very few owners win leagues without rookies, and a lot of them loose leagues because of them. To improve as fantasy owners, we have to look back at the mistakes we have made in the past, so [...]

Mike Mussina’s HOF case

I watched Mike Francesa on YES today. I don’t usually watch something like that, because I know it will result in quite a few nightmares, however it was the only thing on and they were talking about baseball (oh wait, even worse!) So when I turned it on, Francesa and his two guest were talking [...]
