Binyamin Zomberg Continuing our two week long fantasy football fest is our Board of 200. Post below how off/delusional I might be, and I’ll enjoy responding to your comments. This list will be updated once before kickoff and every other week during the regular season. Until then, Happy Ranking! Board Of 200 Rankings (NOTE: The [...]
Fantasy Football Introduction
Binyamin Zomberg ‘This is my moment‘– the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The National Football League owners ended their lockout ceremoniously several weeks ago, and America’s #1 sport seems to have improbably become more popular. Every time I turn on the television, commercials about how “Football is Back” fill the advertising space. Heck, free [...]
Coming Down the Stretch – Fantasy Playoffs
“Playoffs!? Don’t talk about Playoffs! Playoffs??” – Jim Mora As teams loop past the 120 game mark in the MLB, many fantasy leagues are gearing up for their most stressful, important games of the season. The playoffs compress an entire season of hard work into a few weeks of heads up matchups, which is an [...]
Four with Air to Let Out, Mailbag
Binyamin Zomberg There would be no Allan Trammell commemorative T-shirt that day. The Detroit icon – he and Whitaker had filled the middle of the infield for 18 years – was retiring at the end of the year, and the family had accordingly planned for a day at the ballpark. But no one had realized [...]
Fantasy Baseball: First Half Roundup, Mailbag
Binyamin Zomberg Another year, another All-Star Break underway. I assume I’m not the only one who checked for stats Tuesday morning, hoping against hope that the nightmare known as the HR Derby had changed back into good old baseball. At least they played one game of baseball during the lull… In honor of the five [...]
Fantasy Baseball: Splitting Hairs
Binyamin Zomberg Roundup: I’m off the bandwagon, so I can gleefully point to Adam Dunn’s 4-SO performance on Sunday night. He really hasn’t been able to hit the fastball this year…Justin Morneau‘s disabled list stint will be extended for over a month. He has elected to get neck surgery to remove a herniated disk fragment, [...]
Fantasy Baseball: The Anatomy of a Trade
Binyamin Zomberg The Roundup: Curtis Granderson hit 3 HR on consecutive days. He’s got 20 (!) already – 9 in only 70 AB versus lefties…Troy Tulowitzki strung together four multiple hit games and his batting average has now hopped up to .270. Coors Field is beginning to kick in, and it’ll be great throughout the [...]
Fantasy Baseball: Darts Around the Diamond
Binyamin Zomberg The Roundup: Before we look back at previous weeks, I’d like to give a moment for all of those Hanley Ramirez owners (redraft leagues) who didn’t move him the second his back started to flare up. Glad we dispensed with that. Brett Lawrie decided to get plunked on the wrist. He’s on the [...]
Fantasy Baseball: Knowing When to Cut Your Losses
For some fantasy baseball players, it’s really simple. You can’t ever give up on a first round pick such as Hanley Ramirez or Albert Pujols without the player suffering a substantial injury, and you can easily jettison fliers who haven’t panned out. What separates an average owner from a consistent winner is the ability to [...]
Fantasy Baseball Draft Mindset: The Managers
By Rodney Joseph What is the draft mindset? Depends on who you ask. Where you’re playing. What you’re playing and how intense you are about your fantasy baseball team. Are you playing for money? Bragging rights? Increasing your skill level and considering playing for pay in the future? All reasonable questions that can only be [...]
