The Pickup Artist: April 2009
http://fantasypickupartist.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
I'm sick of having all of these great fantasy sports ideas and nowhere to put them. So, I think this will have to do. Sunday, April 19, 2009. Pickup of the Day: April 19, 2009. The Yankees now play in a true hitter's park. Chien-Ming Wang is droppable in most leagues. All Yankees hitters deserve an upgrade. All Yankee pitchers deserve a downgrade. The Indians have a devastating lineup. CC Sabathia would be the #1 overall pick if "number of pinstripes" was a category. So, who is the POTD? I say if someone...

The Pickup Artist: Top Ten List: First Month Slumps
http://fantasypickupartist.blogspot.com/2009/05/top-ten-list-first-month-slumps.html
I'm sick of having all of these great fantasy sports ideas and nowhere to put them. So, I think this will have to do. Sunday, May 3, 2009. Top Ten List: First Month Slumps. There are a lot of teams that are bad, though. More specifically there are players that have been bad for them. I love top ten lists, so I figured why not break this down Letterman style? I’ve included some buying/selling advice for each player as well. Here now, in descending order, April’s top tankers:. Buy low for cheap. Labels: B&...

I'm sick of having all of these great fantasy sports ideas and nowhere to put them. So, I think this will have to do. Sunday, May 31, 2009. How much more accurate would it have sounded if that same friend had said “In a mixed league that has a 65% League Depth or higher you could get away with stashing Gordon Beckham on your bench, but your league is only 45% deep.” That would be awesome, right? Number of Players rostered in League – 150) / (300) = LDR. Now that we have established LDR in terms of how to...

The Pickup Artist: AWOL? I Think Not

I'm sick of having all of these great fantasy sports ideas and nowhere to put them. So, I think this will have to do. Sunday, May 3, 2009. I've also submitted an entry into Baseball Prospectus' BP Idol blogger contest. So look for that, as I'm sure I will be among the top 10 picked out of the 800 or so entries they recieved. Yes, that is sarcasm. But, here's to hoping. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe To "The Pickup Artist". The Bad Boy Nuggets? POTD: May 10th, 2009. View my complete profile.

The Pickup Artist: March 2009
http://fantasypickupartist.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
I'm sick of having all of these great fantasy sports ideas and nowhere to put them. So, I think this will have to do. Monday, March 23, 2009. No roar of the Lyon today, and more at Crooked Pitch. I just saw today that Tiger closer Brandon Lyon gave up four consecutive home runs in a ST game. Consecutive! I blogged about a few other position battles going on this spring over at CrookedPitch.com. Go check it out here. Saturday, March 21, 2009. Pickup of the Day: March 21,2009. Within the last 24 hours or s...

The Pickup Artist: February 2009

Wow I can't believe I'm going to devote my first blog entry to MLB.com. And Josh Hamilton (while we're at it, let's think of a good nickname for this guy. But we all make sacrifices for the greater good I suppose. And the sheer idiocy of having Hamilton (The Rehab Kid. Wright straight up and was actually turned down!

The Pickup Artist: The "Bad Boy" Nuggets?
http://fantasypickupartist.blogspot.com/2009/05/bad-boy-nuggets.html
I'm sick of having all of these great fantasy sports ideas and nowhere to put them. So, I think this will have to do. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. The "Bad Boy" Nuggets? If John Salley were a Lithuanian small forward I would have found a transcendent paradox. But he is not, and so all I’ve really found is a grouping of curious similarities. But these similarities, albeit imperfect, are quite profound. Think back to 1988. Do you remember how great basketball was that year? The catalyst of their respective tea...
