Dear Fellow Fantasy Baseball Enthusiasts,

I would like to dedicate this thread to answering questions you may have regarding fantasy baseball. We've been doing this over on the Draft, Trade, and Keeper Sub-Forum, and it's gone quite nicely: http://www.fantasybaseballcafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=421670

Yes, click here: http://thefantasybaseballking.blogspot.com/p/about-author.html

Who are you?
The Fantasy Baseball King

Where are you from?
Gotham....er, New York

Any baseball history?
Played semi-pro, centerfielder. Father was a SP signed by Phillies.

What is your background?
Top 50 university-educated in International Affairs, currently earning my MBA at a top 20 program

Are you scouting players or just using formulas?
I believe baseball is both an art and a science, so while I love my stats, I still need to see a player swing a bat before believing.

How do you compile your data?
I've put together some annoyingly large Excel spreadsheets.

Do you consider prospects or just purely MLB players into your info?
Up until last season, I mainly concentrated on MLB players, but collecting Bowman cards got me into prospecting. Huge John Sickels follower.

I write for Pro Fantasy Baseball. My recent articles are pasted below:

I also write regular news updates and, starting soon, a weekly column for [url]FantasyBaseball.com[/url].

Finally, I have agreements for a bi-weekly column which should begin over the next month with another very well-known site (can't reveal which one yet, sorry!)

Feel free to fire away! Although I cannot guarantee to know everything, I love a good challenge

Signed,
The Fantasy Baseball King
