Drafting a fantasy baseball team is a frighteningly complex exercise. The goal of any fantasy baseball rankings system should be to make the process of building a balanced, competitive team and smooth and simple as possible.

So I’m going to try to do that.

For those joining the game late, rotters vs. sleeper is a series I began last year at this time. The whole idea is that there are a collection of players that we find proverbially unconscious in the woods. Some of them just suffered from a bad season or two and

Host Brett Talley (@TheRealTAL) is joined by the head of Rotographs, Eno Sarris (@enosarris). They guys take a trip around the infield and discuss some players they have ranked differently as well as some players they agree on but who have an ADP very different than where Brett and Eno

The New York Yankees have locked up Brett Gardner to a four year extension after the 2014 season.  The extension buys out his last two arbitration years and first two years of free agency.  The extension in total is worth $52 million over those four years.  There has been shock
