I also again entered a fantasy baseball pool with some nerds at Shacknews through Yahoo’s free service. Last year I finished 9th out of 10 teams despite having a strong offensive showing. This was mostly due to injuries from my pitching (Harden + Burnett = sadness). This year I was hoping to improve, however now there are 15 teams, which dilutes the drafting field. I had pre-ranked about 20 players for the draft thinking I would complete it later and then show up for the live draft to ensure I got my talent. However, I ended up completely forgetting and my picks were autodrafted by the Yahoo system. I ended up only getting 5 of my pre-ranked players, which made by pitching strong, but my offense looks like the Kansas City Royals. Maybe next year.
