2008 Fantasy Baseball Hitters Contact Rate
I started looking into the Contact Rate % and how it can affect Fantasy Owners, and the more I dug into this, the more I felt that those with lower Contact Rate % were better for your team. Why? Well when you look at Contact Rate %, the formula is ((AB-K)/AB), which means we eliminate [...]

If you've been checking out this site for a while you know that I hate picking starting pitchers before the 8th or 9th round.

2008 Pre-Draft DH Cheat Sheet Rankings with Auction Values
Ah the DH's. The sometimes the lonely and forgotten position is filled with some excellent talent for the 2008 season. Big Papi leads the pack once again, and is really far and away the most talented out this bunch. The big question though concerning the DH's is whether or not Travis Hafner will regain his 2006 numbers? To me, I see him being a nice pick this year.

Fantasy Baseball Head to Head Strategies
For many fantasy baseball purists, a head-to-head league will always be seen as a bastardized version of the original, a red-headed stepchild to the traditional 5 X 5 rotisserie format.
