Fantasy Baseball Top Ten First Basemen

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I’ve got my top ten first base spring training rankings and notes up on the draft board in the Baseball Draft Room.  It is a tough call for the top few spots.  Kind of like choosing between Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima.  No matter what order you place them in,  you can’t really get it wrong.  

Each of these guys does have their quirks though and some will be playable on certain days while others are not.  It isn’t like a traditional league where you take Ryan Howard and just ride with him the whole year.  Even with elite, all star players, daily matchups will be the key. 

 I’ll try and finish the bottom ten first basemen tomorrow.

Fantasy Basketball Tournament Roster for Thursday 2/28

I have signed up for 2 separate ten team tournaments on FSL, but I’m not sure that both will fill on such a thin NBA day.  We are playing a 7 player, 200 point cap game with the roster.

It all depends on the center position today.  Either go expensive with Gasol at $31 or cheap with Blount at $13.  I’m going with Blount.  Hopefully, he gets his 30 minutes and can put up 20-23FP.

Stick with Vince Carter ($32) at one guard.  He is running the team and will continue to get good minutes until it becomes clear that NJ won’t make the playoffs.  Michael Redd ($31) gets a guard spot.  Manu Ginobili ($31) gets the last guard spot.  I didn’t have enough money to get D. Wade and Manu was the best thing left on the board today. 

I’m going with Richard Jefferson ($30) at one forward spot.  Ride him while he is hot.  Tim Duncan ($35) gets the second forward spot.  It was a tough decision between Duncan and Nowitzki, but the game being in San Antonio pushed me to choose Duncan.  Also, I don’t think either will have a big scoring night, and Duncan is the better bet to still put up good FP without the scoring category.  Lamar Odom ($27) gets the last forward spot.  The cap was low today and he was all I could afford.  I’ll be happy with an average 27FP night.

Good luck and check back close to game time for any updates.  Also, I’ll try and get some First Base baseball notes up later today.

Back in the Win Column

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Our contest roster took down the 10 team tournament yesterday scoring a first place win.  For some reason, just like Tuesday, only one of the ten team tournaments filled.   The roster put up 263 total points with Paul (51), A. Miller (40), Iguodala (38), Bosh (34), Boozer (31), Thornton (16) and Stoudemire (53).  The nice thing about these ten team tournaments is that you don’t have to win very often to make a profit.  50%  of the prize pool goes to the winner, 30% to second place and 20% to third place.     Every $1 that you bet produces $4 worth of profit with a win.

Only three NBA games today.  We will probably only be able to fill one ten team tournament with such a thin schedule.  I’ll be back at lunchtime with today’s draft board and our picks.  I’ll also try and get some baseball notes up for first base.  Check out the catcher notes from yesteday if you missed them.  Meanwhile, the snow continues to fall here.  I hate snow.
