Throwing out the first pitch (2/17/08)
Sunday, February 17th, 2008Hi everyone - welcome to the Sherpa’s fantasy baseball strategy blog!
A recent Google search revealed ~15,000 results for “fantasy baseball strategy” and ~40,000 results for “fantasy baseball blog”, but just 1 result for “fantasy baseball strategy blog”! While I’m sure that many of the “fantasy baseball strategy” results would indeed lead you to blog entries, it still seems hard to believe that there aren’t already a multitude of blogs geared towards the millions of people who play fantasy baseball. So, when I tout my blog as the top fantasy baseball strategy blog, there’s almost no competition!
I have several goals in starting this blog:
- Promote my new fantasy baseball website www.FantasyBaseballSherpa.com. Many people who play fantasy baseball have an intuitive feel for Position Scarcity, which captures variances in supply vs. demand at the different roster positions. However, the Sherpa has figured out how to quantify Position Scarcity, which can put you at a huge advantage in preparing for your league’s draft or auction!
- Post updates to the Sherpa’s Preseason Hitters’ and Pitchers’ Projections, as warranted by developments during Spring Training.
- Discuss fantasy baseball strategies from both a qualitative and a quantitative standpoint.
- Discuss other fantasy baseball topics that will appeal to a wide audience.
I welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions. Feel free to disagree with me - it makes for much more interesting discussions! I won’t be able to respond to specific questions you may have about your own fantasy baseball rosters, but feel free to include examples if they help you make a point about fantasy baseball strategy.
Hoping to guide you to victory!
-The Sherpa
