So the other day I read the original SI story of Sidd Finch. I have heard the legend of Sidd Finch and his 168 MPH fastball before but never read the real story. Now it was clear that it was a spoof but it was written well enough to throw off a lot of people. So I couldn't help but not to stop and t...

SI.com's Jon Heyman says Sheffield agreed to sign with the Mets. An announcement is expected this afternoon.

Cory are you doing the 411 fantasy show on XM?



Is it a one show thing or all season?

12 team leagues have a lot to do with picking up and dropping players at the right time. The biggest problem I have year after year is cutting a guy I drafted high that just isn't cutting it and I'm sitting thinking he has to come around. I know last year I had a hard time cutting Konerko and Swishe...

Who knows maybe Price will sign a contract and be called up. Just like Longoria did last year. Just a bad move if you ask me. They say they want to save innings on him. Well last I checked AAA innings are the same as MLB innings. Put him in the pen like Santana back in the day. Move him to the rotat...

Originally posted by Gordon Gekko II: Snord - THANK YOU for giving such an in-depth analysis. while i'm higher on some of my player's batting avgs than you are, pretty good numbers. although, if a.jones only steals 11 bases, i'll eat my shorts. one of my trusted "people" said he's good for 30 this y...

I'm sure I'm the only one on here that attended North Dakota State and I just want to say I'm proud of my Bison tonight! In our first year of being able to go to the dance we are in and we are a team to watch! A little history for everyone. NDSU moved to Division 1 five years ago and they have 4 sen...

With two weeks to go I'm going to throw out some super sleepers. Cliff Lee and Ryan Dempster were two guys that didn't crack the top 450 last year in drafts but a few did take a chance on them and found GOLD. Well lets take a look who could be this year's Lee and Dempster. Now the rules are the play...

March 21 --- 5375

Dec 31 --- 6235



I think it will hit the lowest point in March. You think it is bad today in one month it will be very bad. Can't wait for the day that Uncle Sam comes and takes my Gold and Guns.



God Bless....opps can't say "God" they will be taking that away next!

At 49, Boyd wants to turn fantasy into reality Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd has long felt the game of baseball was taken away from him far too soon. He was 31 years old when he threw his last pitch for the Texas Rangers in 1991. But now, at age 49, Boyd believes his shoulder is stronger than ever. He says ...

I know Jorge Campillo SP for Atl is still listed as being with SEA

HE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press – 12 mins ago WASHINGTON - All-star shortstop Miguel Tejada has been charged with lying to Congress about steroids. Tejada is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday where he is expected to plead guilty. The charges against Tejada, who currently plays for the ...

Well now not only Bonds was a target.



Seeing how Tejada has been dropping in drafts I wonder if those who do have faith in him will drop him down a round or two now.

So will everyone remember this day as the day Obama bent over the US more in one day than Bush did in 8 years? Another day where the US people lose more rights if you ask me. Don't get me wrong I'm all about getting America back on track but how is this bill going to do that? Back in the 30’s? we bu...

I don't get why people are all over GG to get into an auction league. It's a completely different animal. Yes those guys are some of the best AL/NL auction guys the game has to offer but why should he? If I kicked ass in one of those but didn't play in the main event would you blame me if I stuck to...

"According to John Hickey of the Seattle Post-Intellegencer, the Twins have "some interest" in dealing for left-hander Jarrod Washburn. Hickey writes that the Mariners and Twins discussed a deal last week that would have sent Washburn and catcher Jeff Clement to Minnesota for 23-year-old outfielder ...

So I have nothing to do all week and was wondering if anyone wanted to do a 45 round Mock for not this season but next season! Thought it would be fun doing a draft one year before the season. Just think of the first week add/drops. Anyone ever do something like this before? I don't think it would b...
