Ever since I stumbled upon razzball a few years ago I've finished 1st 2nd and 1st in my most competitive league. I feel like using Greys rankings gives me a huge advantage over my friends who mostly use ESPN in the draft.

So my question is do you tell your friends where you get your info or do you keep it a secret?

I haven't told anyone haha :lol:

Its a funny question. Last season was the first season I used razzball rankings for my draft. After the draft, I exchanged websites with one other person in the league. I won my first championship. Before this year's draft, he asked me what site I use and I said I wouldn't tell him that close to the draft.

If anyone asks me during the season I would tell them.... just not right before the draft.

I do not tell my leaguemates about Razzball. However, I've come across many other posters on fantasy football websites that are looking to get in to fantasy baseball. I've told them all to come here.

After discovering Razzball two years ago and laughing my ass off...I told my brother whom is in my keeper league. I don't think he ever checked it out so I won't tell him again. I also mentioned it to a friend of mine who is in the league as well but since everyone else uses espn and yahoo exclusively he chose not to keep coming back after a few visits. his loss as I have now gone to 2 straight championships and won last year. I also only speak about ESPN with him now hoping the memory goes away. BTW I also won 3 other leagues against strangers last year... Yes I went 4 for 5 in championships losing a 5th championship....and I have to pin it all on Razzball. and a little luck. I went from really good to dominating. Thanks!

Worst day of my life was when one of my leaguemates found Razzball. Whenever he talks about it I act really disinterested.

I NEVER tell them. Grey and Rudy are my secret weapons!

I'm always worried that they'll somehow stumble upon the site, though.

If you search "fantasy baseball" on Google, Razzball is on the first page of results, so it isn't hard to find for those that care to look!

Hell to the no. They may all know about it as well, but we do not discuss where we get any info. Twitter stalking happens though. We go through each others "following" tab. Its a bit much but any advantage helps. Lol

Haha^. I actually have some leaguemates who follow me on Twitter, so I intentionally unfollowed Razzball.

Yes, I tell all my leaguemates about Razzball!

Before the draft, I also email each owner a spreadsheet showing my absolute maximum bid for each player. I do this just before giving them the keys to my house and car, so they can drive to my house, eat my cookies, and soil my bathroom. If they ask, I even draw them a map. I usually draw the map for them even when they don't ask.

Good lord, man - are you kidding? Let them all clamor to overpay for Michael Bourn. This is war!
