Shawn says, “I am struggling with a trade right now and need some advice. In a 12-team keeper league, we keep 12 players each year. Knowing that the corners are pretty weak this year, and that we start two guys at each corner position, would you …

My colleague, Chris Spencer, is right. You HAVE to have targets!
When he introduced “Target Percentages” last year, he maintained that in order to get “your squad in position to win”, you “need to define the best score in each category. How do you do that? You look at last year’s standings. If those [...]

Scott writes in with a very good question. He asks, “Where does Adam Dunn go in a 12-team, non-keeper, 5X5 (substitute OBP for AVG) league? We have 3 outfield spots and 1 utility spot.”
Hi, Scott! It’s nice to hear from you. Thanks for following FBTM and thanks for following me on Twitter! Well, [...]

FBTM on RotoCommunity!
A few weeks ago, Dave Gawron of RotoCommunity.com generously offered me the opportunity to write his site’s 2010 Cleveland Indians Team Preview.
Oh, I can hear you all moaning already. What? Bob write a Tribe team preview? He’s the biggest Indians “homer” on the planet. Really. Am I? Let’s see …
“I’ve, quite often, been called a [...]

What’s Up with Brad Lidge?
As one of the poor fools that entrusted a significant portion of his bullpen to Mr. Lidge last year – my 6th Round pick in the 2009 FBTM Premier League draft (ouch!) – I found myself asking this question over and over last year.
Well, buried deep inside …

with “Bob in Cleveland”
As a baseball fan trapped in Cleveland, I can’t help but pick up Tribe-related commentary on my fantasy “radar”. For example, I recently caught a Rotoprofessor.com post amidst my RSS feeds which asked, “Could Cleveland’s additions of Duncan and Kearns matter to fantasy owners?” In a word …

I hate Chris B. Young. I just hate him. Three HRs yesterday. Yes, you read that right. He enters the game with seven “bombs” on the year, and he leaves with ten. Idiot. Where have you been all year, Chris?
You might remember, about a month or so ago, I said, “I guess I’m fully committed [...]
