Coming up: THT Fantasy Focus live chats

Posted by Derek Carty at 4:00am

As you may have noticed, there have been some changes lately to THT Fantasy Focus. We've added a number of new writers, and there could be a few more coming on board in the near future.

THT Fantasy Focus is here to benefit you, to give you the necessary tools to win your fantasy baseball league. To this end, we'll be introducing some new tools this off-season that hopefully you will all find useful. Starting next week, we'll begin conducting live chats with our team of experts. I'll be featured in our first chat of the year, and we'll make the rest of our experts available to you throughout the off-season.

Come equipped with any questions related to fantasy baseball you may have. Who's a better No. 1 pick in 2009, A-Rod or Hanley? Was Ryan Ludwick's breakout for real? What about Cliff Lee? Do you still endorse taking catchers early after so many busted this year? What about closers? Do you have any early sleeper picks you wouldn't mind sharing?


THT Fantasy Focus Live Chat
Featuring: Derek Carty

11 a.m. EST


Come with any questions you have, and I'll do my best to answer them for you. The chat will be run inside of a THT Fantasy Focus post, so it should be easy to find on chat day. If, for whatever reason, you experience any difficulty finding it, shoot me a quick e-mail and I can send you a direct link.

Looking forward to chatting with you!
