Why Ian Snell and Seth McClung
(By: MonkMojo)


Why Ian Snell and Seth McClung

I picked these guys up off the wire today.

These guys fit the profile of my pitching strategy. Since I’m passing on Saves, I’m looking for high K guys.

Should Heilman or Escobar tank or get injured, I got a couple guys that I can still work into the RP slots.

Snell has had a good spring and has locked up a rotation spot. He is supposed to be a higher K pitcher than Maholm so I may end up starting Snell instead.

Seth McClung has also had a decent spring and has a rotation spot. Again, like his high K rate potential.

I gave up C. Hansen – Someone looking for saves in the longer term may...

My Beat the Geeks Draft
(By: MonkMojo)

My Beat the Geeks Draft.

A story of greed and betrayal.

Since I was last in the draft I had back-to-back picks.

Round 1 and 2:
Much of my strategy for hitting was to pick up young multi-position players:

I got Figgins only because “Refrigerators” got Utley the pick prior! I got speed instead of power.

I then reached for Cantu, that porn mustache belongs on my team!

Round 3 and 4
Had dreams of seeing F. López here but Psychotic Senoritas reached for him in the 1st round!

Missing out on Utley and Lopez rattles my fragile psyche, so I make an emotional reach for Tracy. (like a cry for help)

I was planning to take care of my infield before I touched any pitching. I still needed a...

Intro
(By: MonkMojo)

Welcome to my fantasy blog. I am playing in BaseballGeeks’ “Beat the Geeks” Yahoo fantasy league.

20 managers mixed 5x5 roto, weekly moves.

My spasmodic fantasy emissions will be loosely based on this league.

This is just my 2nd year playing fantasy baseball. Last year I made absolutely every mistake imaginable but had a great time and learned a lot.

I look forward to playing and keeping some notes and observations here on this blog as we move along. Don’t hesitate to comment and set me straight.

I’m #20 in the draft, as this is a snake draft I also get the 21st pick. I like how this league lets you know what position you are long before the draft,...
