Draft Analyzer is one of my favorite tools for the fantasy baseball season and it is back for the 2010 fantasy baseball season. Just like it did for the football season, Draft Analyzer is now fully accessible through the web (in the past, it was an application that you had to download). Since I like to consider myself a numbers guy and what I have always been particularly fond of with Draft Analyzer is how simple it makes the whole drafting process. I tell it all about my league's scoring, roster requirements, how many teams, draft ... Read More

What is easily the largest prize for any fantasy horse racing game, Derby Dreamer has unleashed its game that allows fantasy players to create fantasy stables that could be worth $10,000 a month. For an entry fee of $12 per stable, fantasy players select 18 horses and five jockeys to ride for their stable. Then, stables accumulate points depending on how well their jockeys and horses perform. The stable with the most points each month wins $10,000. As an added bonus for March, the monthly winner will receive two box seat tickets for the Kentucky ... Read More

Last night I had the opportunity to attend one of Baseball HQ's First Pitch Forums in Washington, DC. I had never been to a fantasy baseball seminar before, so I was not really sure what to expect. After a few year of trial and error, Ron Shandler has hit on a format that seems to work really well. The whole program was broken into nine innings (or sections), and the information that doled out was broken into manageable and themed chunks (ex: 5 pitchers at workload risk). Plus, the crowd was kept regularly engaged by answering ... Read More

This one scores high points for just coolness. The Peoria Chiefs (the Cubs A-Ball affiliate) are offering their luxury suites at O'Brien Field for use for fantasy baseball drafts this spring. For $35 per person, each league is provided a suite for four hours to draft, an all-you-can-eat buffet, draft beer, internet, and ticket to a future game. Heck, for that set-up, I could skip the draft all together and just hangout in a luxury suite all day. Why more stadiums and team do not do this, I do not know. Getting to draft at a ... Read More

The Interactive Sports Conference is a new fantasy conference set to occur on March 24 and 25 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, NV. The Fantasy Sports Association (FSA) is the major backer of this conference. Further, it appears all of its members organizations will be represented turning the conference, turning it into a who's who of the fantasy sports industry. The networking at this event sounds like it will be the best reason to attend. With a name like Interactive Sports Conference, it is not surprising to see an agenda filled with sessions on online ...

There are hundreds of places that fantasy football players can get their information from. Sara Holladay has made a name for herself as the Fantasy Football Librarian by helping fantasy players dig out what are the most interesting and relevant articles. With an almost encyclopedic knowledge of everything that is written, Holladay has proven that she is quite the fantasy football player herself when she won the Buffalo Wild Wings Fantasy Football All-Star Bloggers league and a trip to the Super Bowl. I recently got to ask Holladay a few questions: How did you get involved ... Read More

Even though Spring Training games have just started, MLB.com is challenging fantasy players to accurately predict who will win each division, league pennant, World Series, MVP, and Cy Young awards with the Gillette 2010 Season Predictions Sweepstakes. Be the person with the most correct predictions and you will win an all-expenses paid trip for two to the 2011 All-Star Game in Phoenix. The contest is sponsored Gillette and is another example of the series of simple fantasy games that MLB continues to produce. With the 2010 Season Predictions game, players are able to pick a few ...

It's Wednesday and, at least in DC, kind of dreary. Since we can all use a pick me up, I have an amusing little story to get your blood going this afternoon. In my oldest fantasy baseball league (the league that recently folded), the league had an entry fee of $350 per team. Since we all knew each other, owners did not have to pay the league fee until the end of the season. That was if they did not win anything. One season a league member (John) had a terrible season and had to pay about ... Read More

Remember when someone showed up to your fantasy baseball draft using a laptop? At first, you probably wrote him off as a total dork, but when he left the draft with more talent on his bench than in your starting outfield, you might have reconsidered. At this very moment, we may be at another fantasy technology paradigm shift as it is now possible to use just an iPhone to draft and manage your fantasy baseball team. I took the liberty of looking at the available iPhone applications that would enable this not-to-distant future: 2010 RotoWire Fantasy Baseball ... Read More
