  • 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,…

  • 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.…

  • Auction Time

    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…

  • The Scoop

    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,…

  • Greener on the Other Side

    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.
