Back At It baseballguys.com Mon 8/26/13 2:22 PM
They were waiting for me in Big Sur. I camped over the weekend at Big Sur in California. Some quick thoughts before I get to the baseball. (1) I didn't find Bigfoot. Probably cause I didn't look. I'm sure Bigfoot exists. (2) Toasting marshmallows is amazing. Add in some peanut butter to your [...]
Hidden Gems & Unexpected Blemishes baseballguys.com Wed 8/14/13 1:01 PM
Sometimes unlikely sources of production pop up and help you to overcome the failures of players that you were counting on in the fantasy game. Today I'll touch on both ends of that spectrum. Dustin Ackley hit .226 last season, and he's batting .233 this year for the Mariners. Why? Good question. Not only has [...]
Memorial Day Fun baseballguys.com Mon 5/27/13 5:32 PM
It's a holiday, and though I'm back at it Monday, I did take a couple of days off over the weekend for a Memorial Day break. I went to Cambria and stayed at a wild bed & breakfast joint that was plenty o' fun (Victoria's Last Resort), and then drove down the coast to see [...]

Now that the 2012 season is over, it's time to review how my predictions went for each position in fantasy baseball. To that end, I will review my top-10 at each position and give a brief rundown on how each of the ten performed. I'll also list which player was a "Hit" (someone who lived [...]
Review: Tout Wars baseballguys.com Tue 10/9/12 12:22 PM
I stand accountable for my actions. More times than not I'm right, but sometimes I make mistakes. When I do, I'm not afraid to admit it. I'd like to think that helps to set me out a bit in this industry. I try to be transparent and truthful. To that end, I thought I would [...]
Tout Wars: A Review baseballguys.com Mon 3/26/12 2:22 PM
I was in New York over the weekend for Tout Wars. Looking to redeem myself after my LABR experience, I thought I would change my approach with Tout. The plan? Draft a good team, something that somewhat eluded me in Arizona. After wading slowly into the mix in LABR, I decided to be a bit [...]

Wanting Back Ackley Doesn't Require Steroids razzball.com Fri 11/4/11 3:15 AM
I'm not a huge fan of Dustin Ackley. Way to sell the reader on this keeper out of the gate! Why don't you just tell me he slept with my Random Italicized mother too? Sorry, Random Italicized Voice, just being up front. The real world is already harsh enough with the truth and non-slanted letters. [...]
