Daily Fantasy Sports Handicapping

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.

I’m watching it snow and putting together some catcher notes.  Just doesn’t seem right.   For all you guys who need your baseball fix, I’ve put up some notes and preliminary rankings on the baseball draft room homepage for the catcher position .  Keep in mind that the notes are for daily draft game purposes, not season leagues, not keeper leagues, just daily draft leagues. 

Catcher, as usual, is an ugly position.  There look to be six dependables and the rest are matchup dependent.  Baseball, more than any other sport, is a day by day handicapping process.   Day to day matchups are the entire game.  Sometimes a guy you would never play ends up at the top of the daily draft board because he has an awesome matchup.  

I’ll try and get some First Base rankings up tomorrow.  Don’t forget to sign up over on the Fantasy Forums for the Fantasy Sports Handicapping Baseball League. 

We are planning a 14 team, live draft, Yahoo league for any interested players.  If you want to play, go the special thread set up in the Fantasy Baseball category at the Fantasy Forums and claim your spot.  I’m going to wait and get suggestions for a good date once I see if we have enough interest.  Also, I’ll consider any suggestions you guys have on the stats setup for the league.
