Jobu needs to know that what he’s doing is ok… help Jobu with his obession!

I don’t know about you guys, but I miss fantasy baseball already. 2012 was a magical year for my team, Dude Booth. First of all, I finished first in the fantasy regular season to earn my money back. After my first round bye, I somehow snuck by my opponent in the second round, even though my team, which had relied heavily on hitting in the regular season, hit .176. In an unexpected turn of events, my pitching actually carried me through the week, and I advanced to the finals (sorry Matty V). In the finals, my bats awakened from their month-long slumber, and I used a ridiculous flurry of pitching add/drops to crush my valiant opponent (sorry, Steve) and take home the big prize. So when is it appropriate to start planning for next year? Continue reading →

Jobu tells a cautionary tale of what happens when even too much isn’t enough…

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. I am here to tell you guys not to do this, because it could ruin everything.

What to Do About: Slow Starts

Pedro Alvarez has suffered the dreaded sophomore slump.

There he is, folks. The phenom known as Pedro “El Toro” Alvarez of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is also my fantasy third baseman. I picked him in the hopes that he would build off of his solid rookie campaign (he hit .256 with 16 homers and 64 RBI in 95 games), and also continue to grow into his Manny Ramirez-like hype.
Instead, young Pedro has hit .212 with one home run (although it was a monster) and 7 RBI in his first 28 games. Most recently, he’s missed 5 straight games with a quad injury. We are now in week 6 of the season. What do I do? What should anyone do when their fantasy player struggles early in the season? Here are some things to take into account before dropping a struggling player.
