Over the many years I have played fantasy baseball (FBB), the importance of closer has changed. From the early years it was all about locking up a solid closer. I once drafted a closer in the 2nd round! Some people would draft 4 closers! What a great idea we thought. Draft a bunch of 1 category guys and lock up that position for good, and that’s how the value of …

Pittsburgh was the destination. Fun was our mission. With us 4 cruising on the I-80 and I-79, nothing else seemed to matter. Spirits were high and money was plentiful. Nothing could stop us! We rolled into Pittsburgh a couple hours before the game, which was genius on our parts. If any of you are familiar with Chicago Cubs’ games, Wrigleyville, then you will understand the scene I am about to …

I don’t know about you guys, but my wife hates baseball. She hates, fantasy baseball, she hates when I watch baseball, she hates when I talk about baseball, she hates….ok, you get the point. This is terribly unfortunate, because I love it! So how can I get this to work? I tried taking her to games, and she loved that! The beer, the sun, the people, but when we sat …

Alan Trammell
View Tram’s Number and Accolades Here
This completely baffles me. Maybe because I grew up with Tram and and Lou turning one of the smoothest double plays in history, but to leave this Alan Trammel out of the “Hall” seems to be a crime. Alan Trammel, was Detroit Tigers baseball. For 13 straight years he manned SS for 100+ games, and was consistently in MVP consideration voting. Injuries and time …

The stage was set, the pieces had all fallen into place, and the wives were tamed. Now all we needed were the players. We needed 2 more guys for a couple of reasons. The main reason being 2 guys traveling across country sounds either like a gay-cation or a male version of Thelma & Louise, which is basically a gay-cation.
Another important reason being “The Rule of Rollercoaster”. I learned this …

Hey there! Well, some friends and I were bored so we did a quick lil 10 round snake draft. Why 10 rounds? Bedtime! I gotta sleep you know! Biggest, Biggest, Biggest thing that stood out to me, is WAIT ON PITCHING!
