t-minus 26 minutes until the uberleague 2k9 fantasy baseball draft. will the nar shadaa smugglers be able to take the regular season title? and will they be able to translate their regular season performance to the playoffs this year? we'll see.
fantasy baseball is interesting, because i don't know anything about baseball. in fact, i actually despise the sport. i think it's boring and lame. the only cool thing about it is the amount of statistics. i wish other sports kept up with as many crazy stats.
however, i've picked up a few tips on fantasy baseball (and sports in general).
1) trust the pre-rankings. if you know some info, then go right ahead and make some changes. but, when in doubt, follow the rankings. example: we had a fantasy nfl league one year, and needed an extra team, so we made a "ghost" team, which just followed the rankings for its picks. that team kicked our asses all season.
2) find relievers. the first season of fantasy baseball kicked my ass. like i said, i know nothing about baseball. the reason i got killed was because i lacked relievers for the first few weeks, and the guys i picked up ended up sucking ass.
3) never draft ryan howard. i've drafted him first for 2 years, and he's sucked (fantasy-wise) every time.
it's kinda funny how much fun fantasy baseball can be even when you hate the sport. i really look forward to it now, and i'm so glad it's almost draft time.
t-minus 12 minutes.
UPDATE! i drafted ryan howard again anyway, because i am a funny guy.
