MLB DRAFT KIT: Positional Scarcity
Written by Eno Sarris   
Saturday, 06 February 2010

MLB TMThis year's Fantasy Lounge MLB Draft Kit is going to look a little different than it has in seasons past. We took a look at our members and we realized that, with our team-specific forum threads, they were covered in terms of depth charts and team previews. A more valuable use of our writers' time would be to discuss strategy and position-by-position rankings instead. These strategy articles will cover how to draft closers, which ones to target, busts, sleepers, rookies, sophomore breakouts, bounce-back veterans, as well as positional previews. Let’s kick off the draft kit with a look at positional scarcity.

Bloomberg (Fantasy) Baseball
Written by Eno Sarris   
Monday, 01 February 2010
Bloomberg Sports TMYesterday, brave and weather-hardened souls that form some of the best and brightest of the baseball blogosphere converged on Bloomberg's Manhattan headquarters for a rare treat. Bloomberg Sports gave a preview of the fantasy and pro baseball products that was announced a while back in this New York Times article. Though the article contains the great line from Daniel Doctoroff that "Not everything we do has to be huge," the presentation seemed to show an attitude that will bring trademarked Bloomberg approach to the growing fantasy sports industry. The information company should eventually be able to bring the same information-harvesting ability that brought them to the top of Wall Street information heap over to the baseball world. That's going to be big for fantasy, however small fantasy may seem next to their usual digs.

shakaEnough, Jesus Shuttlesworth

I figured a forum debate was worth the space and time here. Or it wasn’t. B-e-low me.

Ray Allen argued for the fans to have less impact on the All-Star voting process. According to Allen, the fans should split the vote with the media and players. His idea seems like a plausible solution to the Allen Iversons and Tracy McGradys receiving votes for barely playing or not playing at all. The fans are not exactly the most independent judges for this contest after all. But how big of a problem is the voting?

Fantasy Lounge Team Threads
Written by Eno Sarris / Cubbyblue   
Thursday, 28 January 2010

Chicago Cubs TMThe Fantasy Lounge is proud to present an innovative approach to fandom and team coverage. Moderator Cubbyblue has spearheaded an effort that will combine the best parts of forums with the best parts of team-specific blog coverage by creating team threads on our forums for each of the teams in the major four leagues. In these threads, a main user will cover his or her favorite team, while other forum users can comment and ask questions. It's a little more low-key than a team-specific blog, but on the other hand, it allows fans of all teams to check in with other teams without leaving the site. Let's take a look at his own team here to get an idea of what Chicago Cubs fans are thinking these days. We'll feature a team thread from time to time in order to shine the spotlight on our great writers. This week it's time to say "Thanks Cubbyblue!"

 
Roster Inspection: The Long Two
Written by Eno Sarris   
Friday, 22 January 2010
Hitting too many long twos? Photo: Keith Allison @ wikimedia.orgWe recently looked at players that were hitting or missing too many chippie shots at the rim in an effort to find some sell-highs and buy-lows. Now it's time to move to another critical spot on the floor: the long two. The long two is the worst shot in basketball right now, as it goes in fewer than anything save a three (40%) and it's worth fewer points. In any case, players generally hit about the same amount of long twos as their career average. We'll find the outliers and make some predictions.

Get it all before you collapse upon realizing the Grizzlies and Thunder are over .500. At least New Jersey still has three wins – long live the ’72 Sixers!

Testimonials

The Fantasy Lounge is a great place all-around. It has active members, which in turn leads to many discussions all across the field. Also the knowledge here is top of the line, I play Baseball, Basketball, and Football, and if I have a trade that I can't afford to mess up on, I know I can count on The Lounge to help me with quick and VERY helpful responses.... Also if fantasy hockey is one of your fantasy sports, then the Lounge is still the best place to come and talk!

The Fantasy Lounge Forums are a great way to keep on top of all of the information and happenings for all fantasy sports; everyone reads the updates and the articles here and elsewhere, but here, talking it out with other accomplished fantasy owners helps you to solidify that information into solid plans for winning leagues. The site has a great combination of knowledgeable posters without being so big that your threads get lost in the shuffle. I couldn't recommend another fantasy forum more.

One day I was on the internet and I came across the Fantasy Lounge. I thought to myself "Wow this is a really great website where you can get fantasy advice from helpful and intelligent members, I think I will stick around with these gentlemen." After I discovered how nice and helpful the members I decided to stick around and "Lounge Around With The Best" as you might say. I am a proud member of the Fantasy Lounge and I have been here two years and counting. Thank you Fantasy Lounge for your great advice, free draft kits, and helpful weekly articles.

I am a veteran of the old Fantasy Ref, who then became the first Fantasy Kings member and a mod there.  Whereas I am a moderator here now, I first came to participate in tri-forum events and found out there were some really good players here.   It became apparent to me that the place was very active in every area and there were great league opportunities.  Later on I realized that I wanted to contribute and signed on as a moderator.  I believe this site is an excellent blend of advice, competition and back-and-forth conversation, plus the staff is always open to new ideas.  The Fantasy Lounge even has a few guys who are overly modest, but if you try really hard sometimes you can draw them out...
