In the NFL, every GM has a cheat sheet to help determine the value of a draft pick. It was started by Jimmy Johnson during his Cowboy heyday and I imagine that every NFL GM has some egghead on staff who has a slightly different value for each draft pick. This comes in handy when […]

I almost didn’t write this post because I don’t think you should be looking for sleeper 1st basemen. It’s a no-no that makes my no-no area shrink. Then I got to thinking and then I started watching Chopped, then I took a nap, then I had a snack, then I remembered I was writing a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yeah, I like Anthony Rizzo too. I like him better than Bryan LaHair even if LaHair was moussing pitchers all last year. In the PCL, which doesn’t stand for Plutonium Chloride, he hit 38 homers with a .331 average, mashing like his name was Dee Dee Sharp. Sure, batting in the PCL is like hitting […]

OBP, Yeah Razzballers Know Me
March 5, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 62 Commentsby: Albert Lang
On Base Percentage (OBP) is what Skynet created for the Oakland A’s so they could win the World Series and ruin baseball. Actually, that doesn’t sound quite right. I think OBP is the brew baseball writers’ fermented in a basement to scare Andre Dawson, or it was the reason pitchers feared Jim Rice, thereby making […]

It’s Ike, You Know, Valley Fever
March 5, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 126 Commentsby: Grey
When Ike Davis told reporters,”Gag me with a spoon,” red flags were raised. Why was he talking like he grew up in Reseda? It wasn’t the dreaded Valley Fever, was it? Like, oh my god, it might be. Valley Fever, from what I gathered from Google, WebMD and other non-reliable sources, could knock Davis out […]

‘How could anything get past Grey Albright!’ you say in an incredulous tone. It’s true, it is very hard to sneak out from under Grey’s all-seeing ways. He is the fantasy baseball equivalent of the Eye of Sauron, though slightly less malicious. But we here at Deep League Thoughts (like how I tied my previous […]

March 3, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft | 27 Commentsby: Oregon Nut Cups
First off, thanks Grey for this opportunity. Second, please be gentle, Razzballers…this is my first time. I’ve now played in a 12 team yahoo mixed league where we start two at each infield position and five in the OF (LF,CF,RF,OF,OF) for over five years. In this type of league setting, it’s much harder to cobble […]

Please, blog, may I have some more? Emilio Bonifacio, 2012 Fantasy Sleeper
March 2, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft, Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 116 Commentsby: Grey
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d write this post. Probably because my wildest dreams don’t usually have to do with where I’d rank Emilio Bonifacio and have more to do with Swedish flight attendants and lingonberries. But then ESPN ranked him 214th overall (I have him 126th overall in my top 300 […]

Last time, on Nerd TV we looked at some SP whose actual Ks didn’t jive with their expected Ks from last season. That’s 2011, for those of you traveling through time while reading this. In case you can’t read minds or remember 70 random characters at a time, I’ve used this formula for the expected […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? 2nd Basemen To Target, 2012 Fantasy Baseball
March 2, 2012 | Fantasy Baseball Sleepers | 61 Commentsby: Grey
Between the two middle infield positions, I tend to draft a 2nd baseman early and punt shortstop. This happens for a few reasons. 1) 2nd base has more talent. That’s right, I draft the deeper position earlier. Same reason I punt catchers and try to get a 1st baseman early. If a position is deep, […]
