This barking hound, the first outfielder I took in our fantasy league draft … with the 54th (!) pick overall … probably will suddenly find his stroke now? Why? Because I just dumped Andruw Jones off my team. So he can continue to screw with my mind … by going on a homer binge.

There goes Andruw Jones, off to knee surgery on Tuesday and “6-8 weeks” off, an absence I believe will be considerably longer. He now has an acceptable excuse for doing nothing to make the Dodgers better. The man is hurt, see? Just a tough break. Not at all a function of a guy whose career […]

Is this how it works in all fantasy baseball leagues? Or does the venerable Sun Baseball League just happen to have a rare combination of two “glass-ain’t-just-half-empty … it’s-busted-and-shards-are-in-my-hand” owners who are deeply into the game … and like to share their pain?

The venerable Sun Baseball League conducted its 26th annual draft last night, and I’m sure you all are dying to know how a batch of current and former sports journalists divvied up the talent. Here is the first round:

Yeah, I know: Nobody is interested in anyone else’s fantasy sports league. But that doesn’t keep those who are playing from having the greatest time. The baseball league I am part of, which is similar to Rotisserie ball — except better — conducts its 27th annual draft tonight. And everyone loves the draft — even […]

The month of March is critical for anyone involved in a baseball fantasy league. It’s during spring training that probable closers are identified, 3-4-5 starting pitchers decided on and batting orders are formulated. It’s also when lots of players show signs of impending weakness. And who among us hasn’t done his/her due diligence and gone […]
