Fantasy Baseball

Doghnut — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 19:39:17 -0000

So, I haven't really played FB for a few years now. I used to play 6 or 7 years ago with AOL (they had a FANTASTIC system), but haven't seriously played since then.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of good (free) sites for FB. I played fantasy football a couple of seasons ago at ESPN and a few seasons ago at CBSSportsline (not sure if they even have FB...) and wasn't too impressed with either.

I was hoping there would be a better site than ESPN...otherwise, I will play with the WWL. Anyone have any suggestions?

Update [2008-3-5 13:17:39 by Doghnut]: Thanks guys. Decided to go with Yahoo. I already started two teams.

Glavine Piece

In case anyone missed it, Stark at espn wrote a piece on Glavine this week. Nothing new to report, but I'm sure some of you will enjoy reading it anyway.

Just for fun, I'm including a poll based on Stark's assertion that if Hampton stays healthy, the Braves could have the best rotation in all of baseball.

Poll

If Mike Hampton stays healthy, how does the Braves' rotation stack up against other teams?

Santana to NY??

According to the story, the Mets have a chance at getting Santana. Any thoughts? I would think that if NY was able to land Santana, they would be the clear favorites in the division next year, if not the league...

The story also mentions the Mets are looking at Haren, Blanton and Willis. Personally, I would think they would be the clear favorites in the division if they got any of the four.

Chip Caray, ugh

Thought you guys might find this article interesting -- I found it in Bill Simmons' links page over at Page 2. I don't really like Chip Caray (he is the worst of the TBS announcers, imo). Apparently, the NY Times agrees.

I have to say, Chip Caray is one of the worst, as proven by this article. Obviously, there are worse (Morgan, Buck, McCarver, Jon Miller come to mind), but while those guys just sound asinine, this article shows that Caray not only sounds dumb, but is factually incorrect as well.
