2008 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide

• Pianowski’s Projections – Our (constantly updated) files will ensure you’re up-to-date on everything going on in the world of fantasy baseball on draft day. We’ll rank, project a multitude of stats, and assign dollar values for 575+ players. We’ll also designate players will upside, downside and players who are over and undervalued and more. These are produced on standard web pages and in excel files available for download and are the brainchild of veteran fantasy player Scott Pianowski. Pianowski’s projections are widely considered to be some of the best in the industry.  
   

• MLB Team Overviews – If you’re looking for a one-stop place to check on team position battles and the like this preseason, here’s a feature for you. In late-February, we’ll roll out an extensive look at all 30 MLB teams and will cover the team’s prospects for 2008, give lineup updates at all the key positions and cover position battles, and give you the skinny on each team’s rotation and closer situation. Then, when the exhibition season kicks off, we’ll constantly update this feature throughout March to give readers an easy reference point.  Check out a 2008 sample here.

• 2007 Draft Plan – The foundation of our preseason football coverage is our extensive draft plan article. The (constantly updated) baseball version is similar, and it gives and overview of the talent at each position and the player’s average draft positions and how it affects your desirable plan of action on draft day. Also included is tons of insight on a wise plan of draft action and more. NOTE: This Draft Plan is not released until at least mid-March because it’s fruitless to offer it too early, before many key drafts take place. 

• Greg Shea's Tip Sheet – Twice a week in March, we’ll give you a comprehensive look at the fantasy market’s movers and shakers with plenty of analysis. If a player’s stock is up or down for any reason, Shea will cover it here. In addition, this column will feature a report on some emerging young prospects, as well as a Q & A on a variety of subjects. Greg Shea’s been a FantasyGuru.com fantasy baseball contributor periodically for almost a decade, and was one of the first fantasy baseball columnists on ESPN.com, where his “Tip Sheet” column appeared in the late-90s.

• The Closer Watch – We all want to keep up with those critical closer situations, and that’s exactly what this weekly column will do. You’ll get a weekly overview of all the closer situations that aren’t exactly clear.

• News & Injury Updates – We’re not a news and injury service, but you’ll be able to rest knowing that we’ll be up on “The Injuries you should know about” in the preseason and during the season.

• Players to Target – One of our most important pieces, these massive (and constantly updated) overviews cover the best value and sleeper pitcher and hitters to target. Between the various tiers we placed these players in (from fairly obvious to deep sleepers) this section usually totals 15-18 pages of must-read material.

• Other Strategy Articles & Mock Drafts – Throughout baseball’s preseason, we will produce a variety of strategy-based articles aimed to help you make the most of your fantasy draft and roster.

In-Season Content:

Since we are not truly a baseball service, our in-season content is basic, yet very extensive and important:

• The Waiver Wire – This constantly updated feature will basically give you all you need to run a traditional fantasy baseball team. Rest easy knowing you’re not going to miss the next great thing on the WW by checking in regularly on our player write-ups. These are broken down by position (each hitter position, starting pitchers, and relievers) and listed in order of their deserved priority on the Waiver Wire. This feature will be updated 3X a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

• Greg Shea's Tip Sheet – Twice a week in March, we’ll give you a comprehensive look at the fantasy market’s movers and shakers with plenty of analysis. If a player’s stock is up or down for any reason, Shea will cover it here. In addition, this column will feature a report on some emerging young prospects, as well as a Q & A on a variety of subjects. Greg Shea’s been a FantasyGuru.com fantasy baseball contributor periodically for almost a decade, and was one of the first fantasy baseball columnists on ESPN.com, where his “Tip Sheet” column appeared in the late-90s.

• The Closer Watch – A weekly overview of all the closer situations that aren’t exactly clear.

• News & Injury Update – You’ll be able to rest knowing that we’ll be up on “The Injuries you should know about” throughout the season.

• The Manager's Report – A great addition in 2008 and a real time-saver for all readers. This article will feature the “Pitcher Report,” which will cover those with double starts for the week, broken down by most favorable opponent/ballpark ratio. It will also include an overview of some key pitchers with best chances for a win based on team opponent/ opposing pitcher/ballpark. The “Hitter Report” will covers teams with 7/6/5 games in the upcoming week, teams with best pitching matchups (also noting how many L/R's scheduled), and a ballpark rating for the week.
