this guy is supposed to be a fantasy writer? his team is god awful. i’m going to steer clear from those websites, unless they want to hire me.

Haha, no those are not baseball websites that specialize in fantasy baseball. Driveline Mechanics specializes on breaking down players’ swing and windup mechanics, and Beyond the Boxscore is a more stat-based website with a focus on graphs.

Both are good sites and I wouldn’t let Jeff’s team make you think otherwise.

Paul,

Thanks for the kind words about Beyond the Box Score, but I wouldn’t say we “focus on graphs” there.

We like using graphs to illustrate our points, but our goal is intelligent analysis of baseball - generally through statistics.

Graphs are just one tool to accomplish that.

I guess what I’m saying is: even if graphs aren’t your thing, you can still find a lot to like at Beyond the Box Score.

While we’re talking about it, I’ll chime in and give an endorsement to Beyond the Boxscore, for those unfamiliar.  Not a fantasy site, but it still has some stuff that can be applied to fantasy baseball and is a great baseball destination in general.  Many of the writers, like Dan, also write for the main section of THT.

First, I would love to tank Paul for the help. 

This league was rough in that it was a keeper league and I mainly kept bats and a couple of relievers.  My starting pitching the previous year was average so I kept no SP.  Also, when I draft I always try to take the best players and Joba was the only SP that even came close to making the cut.

Another problem I didn’t mention was that I was way too high on Chris Davis.  Since he was sent down, I couldn’t keep him on my bench and just had to release him.

I think what Paul does is great in giving a second set of eyes to the team.  I have been able to turn Joba and Aardsma into Bartlett and Figgins.  The grouping for OBP in closer and more people are reachable so I am making a push there.
