There are any number of formats we could evaluate, but my personal favorite has always been total points. It has a number of advantages. First, it is a growing format in that daily fantasy sites use it exclusively (although they may have different formulas). Secondly, it apportions an appropriate weight

One of the biggest thrills every year is getting the annual Baseball Propsectus book. They use a system called PECOTA which has its own brand of projections for the coming season. Is it more accurate than Steamer, ZIPS, Rotowire, or any other system? Perhaps it could be, but as a

Full rosters have reported to camp and spring games are beginning soon. Some of you have already begun your drafts while others are in full preparation. It can be difficult to sift through all of the various publications to make sense of their projections for the coming season. So, what

Position rankings are something that usually gets saved for the offseason and we will certainly revisit it then, but the non-waiver deadline means different things depending on whether you are talking real baseball or fantasy baseball. In players playing in head to head leagues, you are looking at the last

The kids have all gone home for the summer and the NBA playoffs are finally over. Now, it is high time to start looking at the positional power rankings. We will start with catchers and slowly move our way through the diamond. We will use the five basic statistics, but

This year brings something new for me, I will be participating in the first auction of my fantasy career. Playing in auctions in obviously exciting and scary at the same time. Every player is immediately available and yet none are a gimmie at the same time. A lot of planning
