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 2009 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 2009 fantasy baseball season,
The Fantasy Baseball Cafe staff

Welcome to the final waiver column of 2009. Hopefully you’re reading this as champion of your league, and if a suggestion or two from this column helped, so much the better! For myself, I won one league (a 16-team dynasty) finished runner-up in a couple more, but finally relinquished my H2HWS title after four straight years of success. C’est la vie …
Anyway, as we settle back to enjoy the post-season (once again without my beloved Mets, although at least this year I knew they were done well before the final day!), here’s a final review of the waiver wire selections from Tom and myself, picking up from where we left off (June 10th). [More]

Welcome to The Can of Corn, hosted by Michael Stephens and Nate Davis! For better or worse, there’s only three days left in the fantasy season for the select few lucky enough to make it to title week, so while most of you are waiting for the real-life playoffs and wondering who to plug into your fantasy football lineup this Sunday, the guys at the C.o.C. thought they’d take some time to reflect on all things 2009 regular season! In this show we have our fantasy all-star teams, MVPs, rookies of the year and surprises/disappointments (filled with names you should put on your list now and watch for next season), as well as updates on over 20 of our regular-season Hot Corner prop bets and final Battle of the Wits standings! It’s been a great year for the Can of Corn, and we couldn’t do it without you, the listeners! We’d like to extend a big “thank you” to all of you, and we’ll see you next season! [More]

Still looking for sleepers this deep into the season? I have a decent one for you — Willie Bloomquist. No, I’m not joking. Bloomquist has — hey, stop laughing. Bloomquist has been a stolen-base threat all season, swiping 21 bags in 27 tries in 2009. Though most of his thievery came before the halfway point of the season, Bloomquist has stolen three bases this month, but the reason you’ll want to sit up and take notice is his stunning average lately.
