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 August, 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. Still unsure? Cafe members get 10% off either game, so make sure to apply our discount code FSFB01 upon checkout.
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 2008 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 2008 fantasy baseball season,
The Fantasy Baseball Cafe staff

Some might call me a Mets ‘homer,’ but others, including myself, call me ridiculously smart when it comes to pickups. I am convinced that I am the reincarnated scout who discovered Babe Ruth. Not that this next guy is going to be Babe Ruth (actually he’ll be nothing like him), but he will help your fantasy average, on base percentage, and runs driven in.

In my previous article I ranked the Top 10 Year-to-Date 5×5 Mixed League Hitters for the first quarter of the season. In this article I’ll do the same for pitchers. The Sherpa Point system gives each pitcher a score ranging from 0 to 1.00 in each of the 5 standard pitching categories (W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP). Essentially, the league leader in each category is given a score of 1.00, while all other pitchers’ scores in that category are calculated as the ratio of their result to the league leader’s result.
