Back when I was in college in the cornfields of northwest Iowa, there was a prank called “snipe hunting.” Basically, you find a city slicker, tell him that you are going to a field to hunt snipes, give them a bag and send them out in the field, then the car you are in drives […]

I participated in my home league draft recently. It’s not an expert league, or an industry league, or anything like that. It’s just a normal group of people, one of whom is my 71 year old dad who took pitchers with his first 8 picks. Random things happen, but here’s where the corners went by […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back to this wonderful journey we call the Corners Report. It’s my third year on this prestigious website, and hopefully, you don’t remember two years ago when I pimped Andrew Vaughn and Anthony Rizzo. This year, it’s a challenge to rank and discuss the corners as they are, um, a bit shallow. This space, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m a shameless slacker, guys. So when Jeremy Brewer does a sleeper post, I’m gonna do a sleeper post as well. It’s just a good practice. Why work harder when you can work less hard? “These are players who have had partial seasons, late breakouts, or have shown notable skill improvements but haven’t yet made it […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corners Reports: Hard To Hit With A Broken Finger
September 4, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball | 1 Commentby: kelder
I had a splinter in my pinkie last week. That was somewhat debilitating. Every time I touched anything, a jolt of pain akin to a bolt of lightning assaulted my poor finger. Many tears were shed, most of them by people who have to listen to me on a daily basis. My entire life was […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Corners Report: Gaining And Losing Value – Long Term
August 28, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball |by: kelder
As the summer progresses, we all make good moves and bad moves, good decisions and cringe-worthy ones. Long term decisions have to be taken much more seriously and the mistakes can compound. Take for example my personal life. No, not the entire thing you sicko. Just my online writing part. See, I’m not what they […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week’s topic was going to be about taking a team from 15th place to 5th, with an outside chance at the top 2. Stick to it, make some buy low trades, stash the IL and NA, yadda yadda yadda. My team though was heavily counting on Austin Riley. If you missed it, Riley is […]

I am reading a book this summer called The Cartel by Don Winslow. No, you wise acres, it’s not the only book I’ve read. I read a 1,0000 pager too! Brandon Sanderson comes highly recommended. Anyway, in this book, they mention grilling out in Mexico is called “carne asada.” I refuse to do any Googling […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?That calendar app has flipped to August. School supply shopping is all on the parent’s Facebook. A tropical storm might dump ten inches of rain on my house in the next three days. But none of these are the most significant events of the month for this site. Football training camp is in full swing, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The trade deadline has come and gone. Here’s the trades that affected the corners, and some quick hitters after. The deal: Cubs acquire Isaac Paredes, Rays acquire Christopher Morel Morel shouldn’t lose any of his power value in Florida but the counting numbers might dip. They clearly liked his XStats, and if you have been […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Recently my family took me to Colorado. That’s a high elevation, especially when my home in Eastern NC is at 4 feet above sea level. It’s also a high elevation when you factor that they love to hike and I, well, tend to take after Gimli in Lord of the Rings while they are built […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So here I am, sitting at 6:29 AM and it’s already 83 degrees with humidity, well on the way to another day of heat advisories. Chicago did its part to promote Twisters by having at least ten tornadoes on the ground last night. There has already been a Cat 5 Hurricane. Does this feel like […]
