The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer There isn’t anyone getting consistently overdrafted more than Javier Vazquez. I’ve always liked Vazquez’s stuff, dating back to his days as an Expo. However, the fact remains 2007 was the first season he finished with an ERA under 4.42 in four years. He’s always a help in WHIP,…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer I’m not sure what’s more surprising, that some of the media think the recent claim that Derek Jeter is a poor fielding shortstop is untrue, or that these people find this theory new. Jeter has frequently finished worst in Major League Baseball in putouts from the position and…

More LABR Talk
By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer I’m a little more caught up on sleep but now I’m getting sick. Speaking of things that are ill, here are some more random thoughts about the LABR team I drafted: In a 13-team, NL-only league, my strategy was to spread the wealth and avoid superstars. Trying to…

LABR Results
I’m on no sleep. Let’s just say LABR was epic. I went to sleep the “night” before the auction after 7 am after playing a drinking game (and losing miserably) with one of the superstars in the industry (who shall remain nameless) until the sun was up. I then got up at 10 am and…

Take Your Pick
Often you will find two players who are being drafted typically right around the same area and have similar price tags in auctions. Maybe both will bring back close to equal value in returns. Or, the decision could make or break your season. Leave your choice and thoughts on the matter in the comments section.…

The Scoop
Well, I’m off to Arizona Friday to compete in LABR (NL-only auction held Sunday night). It should be interesting. My strategy might turn out to be fairly radical, but I’ll let you know how it turned out next week. Wish me luck. As for responding to comments (and writing posts, for that matter), it should…

The Scoop
By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer There’s been a good debate on whom you’d rather own between Tim Lincecum and Yovani Gallardo. Well, Gallardo’s recent knee surgery is a good reminder of how unpredictable injuries can be, as most pointed to Lincecum as more likely to go down. I’m not saying he still won’t,…
