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, Lucky Ladders, Matchup Meltdown 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 insanity continues. We’ll get to our new closers over the past week in a minute, as well as other interesting ninth inning news, but if you stop and review the Safe and Safe … For Now lists, you’ll see that J.J. Putz has made his way from the former to the latter. Putz was one of the best closers in the league last year, but the 35-year-old is hardly the beacon of good health. He made things interesting for himself by giving up six runs over his last three appearances before a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday in a non-save situation. A 12/0 K/BB ratio looks like everything is fine, but you can’t ignore an 8.18 ERA. He only has four scoreless outings in his last eight appearances. Speculators should be spending quality time with David Hernandez, who has impressive all-around numbers himself. [More]

Sometimes a prospect tears through the minors, earns an early promotion to his Major League club, and then takes the majors by storm en route to becoming one of the better players in baseball. Think Ryan Braun. Most of the time, that doesn’t happen. Fantasy owners are particularly fickle with these cases, discarding them in the trash bin in favor of The Next Big Thing. However, one man’s trash is another man’s potential fantasy breakout. The players below were once elite fantasy prospects on the verge of joining the elite. Some fell to injury, some were good and not great. All are being undervalued by the people in your league. [More]

The Cafe’s rankings were recently named the most accurate rankings of 2011, so we got the band back together and gave it another go. I asked 2011 holdovers rookies and cream and ironman to again participate, and since every great band needs four members, we brought king of The Spreadsheet himself, J35J, into the fold. Many thanks to all of them for representing the Cafe in such a positive fashion and for putting the Cafe at the forefront of the industry. OK, enough for the blown smoke. Onto our 2012 Cafe Rankings: Spring Update edition. [More]
