Please, blog, may I have some more?No one carries two catchers in one catcher leagues. If you do, you probably suffer from mushy brain. So in 12 team leagues, you have 10 to 15 catchers at any time to choose from. Hey, Miguel Olivo’s dressed like Johnny Weir and he’s hitting! What do you know, Rod Barajas looks less Barajas-y!

Please, blog, may I have some more?Jair Jurrjens went for an MRI the other day. Results came back negative, which is oddly enough a positive. That’s nice.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Yes, I’m using the term sleeper loosely. And I wrote this post in October and left it in The Dungeon of Forgotten Posts along with the post, Alex Gordon, 2009 Is His Year!

Please, blog, may I have some more?With the RCL sign ups in full bloom, we decided to take a look at what last year’s RCLs showed us. I.e., what it took to win these fantasy baseball leagues last year. Across nine 12 team leagues, you would think you’d have some wide variations, but it’s amazingly close what you need in each […]
