So, a main reason why we're back

It's baseball time, and I'm really excited for this season. I did not do a ton of research before my drafts, but I skimmed through the Baseball Prospectus and pretty much ignored all the news coming out of Spring Training, except for injuries.

I had a horrible season last year where I was just slaughtered by Andruw Jones, Travis Hafner, Jeremy Hermida, Julio Lugo, Scott Linebrink, Daniel Cabrera, and Mike Gonzalez. At one point, I had 4 pitchers on the DL. Whaaa whaaa whaaa. Losing in fantasy isn't fun. And perhaps that put me into a funk that lasted through most of the NBA season thus far. Ironically, when I've had a chance to watch the NBA this year, I've enjoyed it more than ever. Not worrying about the overall maintenance of my team may have been a factor, but by the All-Star break, I was really energized into revamping my NBA team and making the playoffs, which I have done.

This year, I am in two baseball leagues. the sixth year of my keeper/auction local (now nationwide), and a new NL-Only local with a bunch of friends who for the most part have not done fantasy baseball before but are knowledgeable fans. I feel right now that I can win both. Let's get to the how...
