I haven’t talked much about my own fantasy leagues, probably spending the most time on the Razzball league which wasn’t even for money and was opposite of a typical league. Anyway, the season is officially over, well at least in fantasy leagues on Yahoo they are, so I thought I should revisit how my leagues […]

On the last day of the 2008 season, I am reviewing my roster and continuing the process of deciding who to keep and who to throw back into the draft pool.  What I am finding is that the usual players that always seem to be “sure things” are not any longer and players that before the […]

On the FBM Live Show with Tony Cincotta, which I co-host, I often say that our show is the expert show for the expert fan.  In many respects the Fantasy Baseball Generals website fits that same criteria.  The comments left by readers are very insightful, thought provoking, and regardless of position, are backed by data not […]

After a fantastic, but somewhat surprising, rookie season last year, fantasy owners were ecstatic at the possibility of welcoming a new shortstop into the top 5 for seasons to come.

Excluding this season, only 7 pitchers since 2004 have posted full season strand rates above 80%. There are 3 above this mark right now, with many […]
