A Time to Toot

Does this cartoon represent me? We'll find out this Sunday!

Somebody has to recognize Jobu’s talents, it might as well be him.

I haven’t given much fantasy baseball advice this season (we did lots of strategy advice posts last year, you can read them all here), but there’s something I find myself struggling with in my current season. I’m not sure if it’s the ever living drive for perfection or just sheer boredom, but I always want to make that one last pickup or tweak that will put my team over the top, even though my team is already in first place.
