Fantasy Baseball 2013 Magazine

2013 Fantasy Baseball Magazine

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 2013 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 2013 fantasy baseball season,

The Fantasy Baseball Cafe staff

Weekend Waiver Wire, Week 11

(by Chris Routledge) posted on June 15, 2013

Mark Appel. Kris Bryant. Jonathan Gray: The first three names off the board in this year’s draft. Chances are that all of them will be significant contributors on fantasy rosters in years to come (although there is no guarantee, of course — just ask any Padres fan about Matt Bush). But will any of them be the biggest fantasy contributors of the class of ‘13? Maybe, but it’s much more likely that it will be someone else, maybe even someone from way down the list. To take an example: James Shields is not going to be a Hall-of-Famer, but he has produced exceptional fantasy value relative to where Tampa Bay drafted him (Round 16 in 2000). Value is everywhere to be found, if you know where to look — even in the dredges of the waiver wire! [More]

Top 50 Countdown: June 12, 2013

(by James Dee)

It’s June now, and time for another Top 50 Countdown. We had some stars drop down the list, and superstar youths rapidly rise up the ranks. We have some exciting new players, and some veterans who won’t go away. All in all, there is an incredible variety of players on the list, and keeping track of their progress should be exciting during this hot summer. Everyone please enjoy the Countdown and feel free to comment here or in the threads created. [More]


Cafe Pod Week 11: Suspension Tension?

(by R.J. White)

This week, Josh Shepardson and I talk about the implications of the new twist in the Biogenesis investigation and whether or not those in H2H leagues should be selling the pertinent players in anticipation of suspensions. But that’s not all. [More]

Sleeper Watch

(by brentameyer)

Raise your hand if you love drafting a second catcher. Yeah, I doubt there was many hands up there. It’s like going to a old relatives house when you’re young. “Mom, do we have to? I will be good the rest of the day and even clean my room!” [More] - 2 comments
