So I’ve been invited to play in LABR this year. For those who don’t know, LABR, which stands for “League of Alternative Baseball Reality,” was formed in 1994 and featured Peter Gammons, Keith Olbermann and Bill James. Basically, it and Tout Wars are the “World Series” of fantasy baseball leagues. The auction is held in…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer I’m still undecided about Daisuke Matsuzaka. On one hand, he flashed a dominant strikeout rate (8.9K/9 IP) and his second half fade can be blamed on fatigue, since his workload was so different from Japan. On the other hand, Dice-K’s control (3.5 BB/9 IP) was a major problem,…

After a small hiatus over the winter, Greener of the Other Side is back with a vengeance. Brett Greenfield (a frequent RotoScoop commenter) and Jason Sarney do an excellent job. A recent article about “The 3500 club” is a must-read. Check it out.

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Rickie Weeks presents an interesting dilemma; on one hand, he’s a mid-round selection whom I could see becoming a top-10 pick next season. He has 35/35 upside. However, he’s no secret, and my “mid-round” proclamation keeps getting higher and higher. As does his price tag in auctions. He’s…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Before we get started, I’d like to report a change in scheduling. My weekly radio segment has moved times and will now be airing Mondays at 8:25 PST on XM channel 144. Although I’m stating the obvious, Johan Santana’s fantasy value sees a definite boost with the move…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Albert Pujols is falling down my draft board. Don’t get me wrong, I’m normally all about drafting guys coming off down years, and Pujols is still unquestionably one of the three best hitters in the game. However, if his lineup protection was concerning, his health woes are flat-out…

By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer I hesitate to write about this because talking about personal drafts does get tiresome, and this will hardly be the last one I mention before Opening Day. However, I actually do think it’s helpful to look at as many drafts as possible, to get a better feel about…
