Spring Training, NFL Free Agency, and Then Some

Saturday, 06 March 2010 18:20 Lucas Levin

Yesterday kicked off Day 1 of NFL free agency and, as always, it was an extremely busy day. Many of the NFL’s elite found new homes and some (Vince Wilfork) ended up staying put. Additionally, spring training is in full throttle and fantasy players are beginning to figure out who may or may not be solid draft picks for 2010. And to think, if March is already this entertaining, imagine how much better it will be come March Madness?

Bargain Hunting: Cole Hamels

Sometimes bargain hunting isn’t about finding the clearance special watch that lasts for 25 years through thick and thin but rather finding a Rolex on sale. Cole Hamels is the latter. Hamels, a fantasy darling after his epic 2008 World Series, was more than a disappointment for many fantasy owners in 2009. If you drafted Hamels as your first pitcher in the 3^rd or 4^th round last March, your team might have been crippled for the entire season. Now before you decide whether or not you want to read more let me tease you with a little riddle: What do Cole Hamels and Vernon Davis have in common?

The Wide World of... Fantasy Sports

Tim Tebow this… summer of 2010 that… all of these storylines are simply getting very old and over-discussed, yet the most frustrating part is that they won’t be fully developed for months. As one of my good friends pointed out last week (in an extremely and unnecessarily upset manner that actually made this quote quite funny), “the Olympics are going on right now and all Stuart Scott and company can talk about is (expletive) Tim Tebow’s throwing motion.” Well put. So in this article I’m going to attempt to shine a light on some fantasy sports stories that are going under the radar.

With the news that the Shaqtus is likely out for the remainder of the regular season comes an exciting new opportunity for fantasy basketball owners. If you’re quick to react to the news, you may be able to snag Anderson Varejao, who will benefit the most from lack of Shaq. If you don’t get him, however, you may still be in luck.

Appeal! Youkilis v. Zimmerman

Kevin Youkilis Can you guess the biggest problem I have with living in the northeast? It's not the foot of snow that currently sits on top of my car nor is it a lack of UC-Santa Barbara Banana Slug basketball coverage. Nope, the biggest problem I have with residing in the northeast is that I am caught in the middle of Yankees v. Red Sox and my 6th Amendment right to an impartial jury is about as sacred as the bathroom wall in your favorite bar. After the Youkilis v. Zimmerman ruling was released, I was accosted by a few angry Red Sox fans. While most were completely irrational, one happened to have a fairly good point. With his point in mind I would like to clarify my thoughts from Wednesday.
