Fantasy Baseball....I am getting excited!

I have been playing fantasy sports almost as long as they have been around.  I played fantasy football forever now and hockey almost just as long - but I have only occasionally joined a basketball or baseball league and it was free.  Last year I joined a work league for baseball because the people were friends and it was cheap. This year is different.  I am really getting into it, looking at strategy and buying magazines to get some added info.  I do most of the research and stuff on my own but the cheat sheets are helpful and it gives my stats that i like to use.

I have my entire strategy planned out and really look forward to the draft. As always - I have the last pick and with keepers it really limits the talent but I guarantee a better performance than last season. I think the OF is pretty deep and 2B is as well when compared to SS. I certainly will keep doing the work needed to win but any advice from veteran Fantasy Baseball players is appreciated.

NFL - I simply don't understand!!!

I love sports and follow almost as much as anyone - but i simply do not understand the value placed on NFL draft picks - especially after the first round. How can Boldin go for a 3rd and 4th when he is an elite WR in the league. Take a look back at the draft classes from 3 years ago and in the 3rd and 4th rounds. You MIGHT see 1-2 solid players and 4-5 marginal players........the rest are nothing. Look back even farther and you see much of the same. I would have dealt a 2nd round pick for Boldin in a half second and reap the benefits of a proven, reliable and strong player. No question marks, can he do this can he handle that.....he has done it already. EVERY draft pick is a question mark.

PS - Here is hopinf the Seahawks do the same thing I stated and go get B. Marshall. I think they can hold out for a trade as opposed to the offer sheet and maybe keep the 6th pick and deal the 14th but either way - get this guy in the organization.

Babe of the WEEK! I love babes in hockey gear!
