Welcome to the Shack!
Posted: September 1, 2009
Fantasy Sports Shack is a place for stats, opinions, information and links to the important stuff that will help you win a fantasy title. Football and Baseball are the focus – for now.
I’m a stats guy. Always have been. In high school I would fill spiral notebooks with predictions and box scores. I knew every Major League organization’s players down to Single A. A bit of a freak, I know, but the knowledge is what helps you to a fantasy crown. I’m the guy who wants to know what a player has done for the last few years, their trends and projections for this year. I want to know the sleepers who are going to make a difference, the rookies who will shine and veterans who will bounce back. And I want to know it before the next guy (or girl – the Shack doesn’t discriminate!).
I’ve been playing fantasy sports for almost 15 years. I’ve participated in games through USA Today, ESPN, CBS Sportsline and NFL.com, to name a few, but most of my leagues have been through Yahoo! In my current baseball league, I’m the 3-time defending champ. In one of my current football leagues – I’m in 3 – I’ve won 2 out of the past 5 years, and finished in the top 3 every other. In a Yahoo! public baseball league several years ago – I haven’t played a public league for nearly 10 years – I finished 105th out of the entire field (300,000+, I believe). I’m not trying to boast. Just letting you know I’m not yanking your chain when I offer my opinion. And that’s what I’m here to do, give you my opinion.
My opinion is what the Fantasy Sports Shack is all about. I’ll give you mine, so don’t be afraid to give me yours.
Now bring on the football season, and best of luck down the homestretch in baseball!
Welcome to the Shack!
Fantasy Sports Shack is a place for stats, opinions, information and links to the important stuff that will help you win a fantasy title, with a focus on football and baseball.
We want to know what a player has done for the last few years, their trends and projections for this year. We want to know sleepers who are going to make a difference, rookies who will shine and veterans who will bounce back. We want to know about the impact of the latest injuries, retirements and… well, legal issues. We want to know it before the next guy (or girl – the Shack doesn’t discriminate!), and we want to share it with you!
We’re just a group of fans who love fantasy sports. Some of us are new to the game, others have been playing for more than 15 years, on a number of platforms, with a variety of people. And not to boast, but we do okay. We’ve got the 4-time king (including a 3-peat) of an uber-competitive baseball league, a 2-time defending fantasy football champion and a top 3 fantasy football finisher for 6 years running. Just want to let you know we’re not yanking your chain when we offer our opinion. And that’s what we’re here to do, give you our opinion.
Opinion is what the Fantasy Sports Shack is all about. We’ll give you ours, so don’t be afraid to give us yours.
