Filed under Uncategorized
Juan Pierre may have led the American League in stolen bases, but right-hander Edwin Jackson earns the award, such as it’s worth, as top Chicago White Sox newcomer of 2010. We’re going to get away from the typical year-end lists to simply name the best-performing new arrival of last season with the greatest potential for [...]

My teams finally started to click a little bit in Week 7. I went a combined 12-6-4 throughout the week and it was the first time both of my teams finished at .500 or above in my matchups. And that was even with a big blow to Joakim Noah, the No. 2 source of rebounds [...]

Week 6 really proved my worth in both of my leagues. I was matched up against two of the top teams in my league and came away with an overall record above .500, a great sign that the moves I’m making and the lessons I’m learning are paying off. Lessons Learned Speaking of lessons, I [...]

Week 5 in Fantasy Basketball was overall pretty kind to me. I won my matchup in each of my leagues against a tough opponent and clawed my way towards first place. Not there yet, obviously, but a step in the right direction, of course. Lessons Learned I didn’t make any mistakes this week. I was [...]

It was a week of highs and lows for me in fantasy basketball. My one team went 7-3-2, but my other team managed just a 3-6-1 record. I dominated in five categories between the two squads, but was run over in four categories. So, given the holiday season of eating, I was left with a [...]

Week 3 in Fantasy Basketball came and passed, and I must say, I’m starting to get the hang of this whole thing. My teams didn’t necessarily reflect it, but I’m getting a better feel for it all and I’m learning the players and the game so much more. Prior to this season, I couldn’t name [...]
The Adventures of a Fantasy Basketball Novice—Week 1 recap

Filed under Basketball
Well, it was my first ever week in fantasy basketball and boy was it an interesting one. It was an extended week because of the early start for some teams, and that both helped and hurt me, as I’m sure it did to many of you out there. Throughout the first week, I learned many [...]
The Adventures of a Fantasy Basketball Novice–Draft Edition Part Deux
November 4, 2010 by Tony Andracki
Filed under Basketball
The NBA season has started and I must say, my Bulls are looking pretty good. My fantasy teams on the other hand, not so great right now. I’m a combined 7-12-3 after the first week, but luckily, the matchup doesn’t end until Nov. 7, so I have some time to rebound, pun intended (I’m currently [...]

Ahhh, fantasy sports. The sweet smell of a brand new team. The transcendent triumph (yeah, I thesaurus-ed that word, deal with it) of beating that friend of yours that you have an unnatural need to beat in everything you do (yeah, I’m looking at you, Scott Gleeson). You can’t top it. And if you’re anything [...]
