If you're searching for a fantasy baseball league, take a look at our sponsor SportingNews.com's Ultimate Salary Cap Baseball - even though it's July, you can still join! Salary Cap Baseball is a game with a dynamic player market, lots of strategy, and $85,000 in prizes. Want more than one team, or planning to fill an entire league? Good for you, as that qualifies you for a big discount. To top it off, you'll also get free access to Ultimate Fantasy Source Baseball, the perfect tool for fantasy analysis. But don't make your decision before you've seen Draft & Trade Fantasy Baseball. Already made up your mind? Then hurry up, or you might miss out on SN's Early Bird Sale!
If you've already found all the leagues you'll be playing in this season, jump right into the 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 Blitz, and a whole lot more.
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.
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

When All-Star voting opened in April, I saw it as a great opportunity to start handing out hardware. In retrospect, it appears I was a bit hasty in naming Johan Santana the NL Fantasy Cy Young, among others, but at least my two fantasy busts of the year, Chien-Ming Wang and Jimmy Rollins, finally turned it around. What’s that? They’re still performing terribly? Well, at least that’ll make some of these awards a bit easier. I present you with the 2009 Fantasy First-Half Award winners. [More]
