GM for a day – Yankees

Filed under Uncategorized
I’m going to take a page out of Baseball Prospectus’ book and play GM for a day with the New York Yankees. Note that this is a very good scenario for the Yankees and a lot of these moves may not happen. I made sure to stay within budget and sign guys that I thought [...]
Pedroia given $40.5 Million, GM’s continue to pay for production over position

I’m not a huge Dustin Pedroia fan by any stretch of the imagination. He’s one of those players that the fans and the media love. You know the kind that’s entirely overrated because they’re 5 feet tall and have no business being as good as they are. But, as I said back in September, Dustin [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
