Buy Low – Sell High – Do Not Buy Low – Do Not Sell High

There’s three types of fantasy sports analysts out there. First, you got your numbers guys. These guys crunch numbers and report figures like BABIP and OBP and K-Rate to determine who to go after and who to avoid. These guys have a nice anchor in that numbers don’t lie, and they can usually create some [...]

Selling Heyward…

Dalton Del Don has a nice piece from rotowire out that I think you’ll all enjoy. You can access the article here. I’d like to hear your opinions on the players he goes over, but here’s my thoughts: 1) I agree on Heyward and will add that the ridiculously lengthy MLB season and added fan [...]

Knowing Your Limits

My very first fantasy league was pre internet, back in high school. Me and 3 other friends would get together, have a live draft, and then follow the stats through the newspaper. It was a football league which meant there were fewer games, and each player was commissioned to check another guy’s stats. Then came [...]

Focus on the Average and Production

First off, let me begin by sending a big shout out to reader Carlos, who took home the big win in his basketball league and gave another generous donation to The Thief. Money well spent buddy, working on getting the trade analyzer up and running soon. At the same time, I’ve been packing to gear [...]

Going the Extra Mile

The following is a recap of trade negotiations that occurred on Saturday. The negotiations essentially involved three major players: myself, 40 Ounces, and Lenny Bagz. The moral of the story is that going the extra mile, even in situations that don’t involve you, can turn in your favor. The background to the story is essentially [...]

Decaying Assets

Way back during the football season, I made a trade with another manager of Wes Welker for Steven Jackson. At the time of the trade, Steven Jackson had Zero touchdowns on the season. He was amongst the top of the NFL in rushing yards, but just hadn’t found paydirt yet. I recognized this as an [...]

Top Tier Failure

Well there you have it folks, ya win some and ya lose some. There are no guarantees in life aside from death and taxes. I’m not throwing in the towel just yet, but it looks like my basketball season is going to end without a crown on my head. Who’d have thought, after securing both [...]

Buy Low – Sell High

Week 1 of fantasy baseball is officially in the books, and I know your trade trigger fingers are as itchy as mine. Especially if you took the loss in week one, like I did. It was a heated battle, but in the end a combination of Julio 0-100 Borbon and Serve Em Up Frank Francisco [...]

Multi Position Versatility……from a Pitcher?!

Whoa, let’s just say I’m not getting much sleep these days. I hold a 1.5 point lead in Basketball, and (as I’m sure you all know) Chris Paul has hung it up for the season and LBJ is asking for (and being granted) a rest. No doubt, these are huge blows to my squad, but [...]

Patience and Discipline

Well hello there! I’m back from a brief hiatus where I’ve been working on some great new upgrades. The Trade Analyzer is about 90% complete and I hope to roll it out within the week. I’m happy to report that we’ve successfully implemented an auto-complete box instead of a drop down menu for selecting players. [...]
