Fantasy Sports: May 2004 Archives

First, I would like to say thank you to Andrew Peterson for introducing me into the world of fantasy baseball and fantasy sports. As a life long sports fan I always looked down on fantasy sports as taking away interest from the real important stuff (team play, competition) and focused too much on nerdy stats that don't equal wins and losses. In my first season of fantasy baseball I have found that to be both true and false. There is a strong emphasis on stats of single players but it also raises your interest in every game by leaps and bounds. I am paying more attention to baseball this year and it is pumping me up. MLB has had quite a resurgence in the last year plus and it really presenting and fun and exciting product these days and fantasy baseball has made me pay more and closer attention.

The man who introduced me to fantasy baseball, Andrew Peterson, is an experienced and crafty fantasy veteran. He has made this clear in his Yahoo Public league by storming to the top of the standings after a month of play. He has taken a commanding league by maximizing every position he has. If a player isn't producing for him, he makes a move (as shown by his league leading 44 transactions already this season). Andrew has provided me with extraordinary insight and advice and I owe him. If you want to see a fantasy baseball star in action check out his league(his team is The Bees) and if you want to see a fantasy rookie learning the ropes check out my league(my team is Uncle Green Lazers).
