Fantasy Baseball: The Seventh Annual Sleepys (Hitters)!

By Nicklaus Gaut | February 5, 2025 at 4:47pm CDT

Ya-aawwwwwn. Much like the mighty grizzly bear, I've spent the cold winter months of the midwest hibernating in my west county burrow. The calendar has now flipped to February, though, and I've awakened to see all of the telltale signs heralding the full arrival of fantasy baseball season... Football is finally ending and birds are almost chirping, while dozens of podcasts extensively extol the virtues of the same seven players. And just yesterday, Eno Sarris emerged from his local craft brewery and saw his own merm's shadow, officially ushering in 30 more weeks of content. Huzzah!

    Can someone point me to some objective evidence that Mr. Gaut is qualified to give fantasy advice? I’ve found his picks weak but his writing entertaining.

    I’ve never made a “Brice Is Right” pun, because I’m too busy singing “Turang Turang Turang” to the tune of the “do lang do lang do lang” part of “He’s So Fine” by the Chiffons. I’m old. Also, Walter Doggington III is a perfect name for a shar-pei.

      He’s so fine, Turang, Turang, Turang.

    I find Fantasy Baseball boring and a detractor of the game. A total waste of time.

      I find it to be a true delight! Humans are wonderfully different.

      I like it because it forces me to learn more about the game. Without the pressure to win, how much effort does one put into the #254 player picked?

      And I enjoy having money on the line.

    What a ridiculous, unfunny, and unhelpful read this was. If I had seen this as an example of what was behind the MLBTR paywall before I signed up, I would have never become a paying customer.

    Just a waste of time.
