We hope you'll enjoy this site and make us your first choice for free tips, updates, discussion, and maybe even a bit of humor during the 2012 fantasy baseball season. Whether you're the commissioner of a long-running roto keeper league or looking for rankings for your very first draft, Fantasy Baseball Cafe will provide you with all the information you're looking for.
At the Fantasy Baseball Cafe, you'll find features such as Cheat Sheets, weekly Sleepers, Articles from an outstanding lineup of baseball writers, Links to other fantasy baseball resources, free games such as Pick3 and Trivia Time Trial, and a whole lot more. Above all, we look forward to seeing you in our Fantasy Baseball Forums for talk about everything from the latest updates to rules issues.
Oh yes - why call a fantasy baseball site a cafe? Aside from the fact that our addiction to fantasy sports is more serious than most caffeine dependencies, a cafe is just the place to meet people and exchange opinions, pick up the latest news, and relax for a little while. You'll have to provide the cappuccino yourself, but we won't be charging $4.89 a cup either: this cafe will be absolutely free.
All the best for a successful and fun 2012 fantasy baseball season,
The Fantasy Baseball Cafe staff

The top talent at Position Y all went while you were carrying out your draft strategy with precision, and now you’re left looking at a motley crew of names, thinking to yourself, “All these putzes are the same to me. I’ll throw a dart at a board and probably drop him by Memorial Day.” Hey, it happens, but that doesn’t mean it’s fair. Because within that group of shortstops or third basemen, there’s a player looking back at you saying, “Really? You’re putting me with them??,” and they’re right. Like the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield, they get no respect. [More]

Next up in our series of 2012 fantasy baseball sleepers — the shortstops. Not everyone can land a Troy Tulowitzki, Jose Reyes or Hanley Ramirez for the position, and if you don’t spend a premium price on one of those guys early, you’re stuck playing catch-up. We’re going to dip past the next couple tiers of SSs and find five backup types that could return starter value at the position this season. [More]
