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 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 2011 season saw the Washington Nationals make drastic improvements from a 69-win team in 2010 to a team that was 80-81 in 2011. Over the past three seasons the Nationals have increased their win total from 59 to 69 to 80 last year. As a matter of fact, the only thing that may have held them back from having their second .500 season in franchise history was a September rain-out against the Dodgers that was never made up, shorting them one of their scheduled 162 games.

January marks the beginning of a new year and the start of fantasy baseball season around the Cafe. With the holidays over, some of the Cafe’s best and most experienced got together for an early mock. Though many of us didn’t have completed rankings and were forced to wing it on some picks, we feel like we got a general idea of how drafts will turn out and had a ton of fun in the process. Now that my projections and rankings are mostly complete, I decided to go back and do a review of my picks and what I felt were the best and worst picks of each round. I went through the first 20 rounds before it starting getting to a point where it didn’t make much sense picking best and worst picks from the dredges of people’s sleepers. Remember this is a 14 team draft so guys look like they’re going a earlier than they really are in a 12 team league. Hopefully the draft and commentary helps some of you as you prepare for the new season. You can see all the cafe mocks here and my projections and rankings here. [More]
