Week 9 Roto Ranks

Last week I called this a "Statistical Power Rankings" while Mark pointed out in the comments what it really was. This would be the standings if we were playing in a rotisserie league rather than head to head.

Keeping it Real - Vol. 1

Just before keepers were due, I posted an article on this blog predicting everyone's keepers and then ranking them to determine who would have the best and worst. Now, more than six weeks into the season, I thought it would be fun to actually look at the performance of these keepers and see who made the right decisions and who got burned by the promise of another year of fantastic (or in some cases, decent) fantasy keeper production.

Statistical Power Rankings - Week 8

Yesterday you got Commish's power rankings, which have all the faults and flaws of a human bias. Although I do look at stats, I am ultimately ranking the teams based on how much I would rather not play them. These rankings are different. There is no biaas here, they are based solely on the numbers. It's a simple formula, if you are leading the league in a category, you get 12 points, second gets 11 points, 3rd gets 10 and so on. This can give us an idea of who is overperforming or underperforming this season in the standings. Credit goes to Richie for this idea.

Commish's Power Rankings - Week 8

Sorry for the delay, but the power rankings are back! More importantly, I'm back, so blog posts can be expected on a more regular basis. Thank you Keeves for keeping the blog afloat! You guys know I go through phases with this thing, and it would be way better if some of you stepped up and did some write-ups (because like 8 of you asked to be authors...).

 I've missed 3 weeks of rankings, so I'll include those in these week's ranks. There's obviously been a lot of movement since week 5, I was just waiting until I could be ranked number 1....

Top Five Reasons Fenway Park Sucks

I guess my analogy last week of letting loose the floodgates was a little overstated, as only I was able to valiantly answer the Commish’s call to the masses. Come on guys step up your game, while I know that you will never be able to match what I can put out in terms of general awesomeness and pure baseball knowledge, every little bit of chatter and writing helps.

I will step off the soapbox now and get down to brass tacks. Fenway Park, a place where memories are made, dreams come true, and a place every Bostonian can call home. What a crock of shit. This may have been true a hundred years ago, but is not the case anymore. People for too long have been steeped in the lore of Fenway Park and have not stopped and looked around. So gather round, and hear the truth, here are the Top Five Reasons Why Fenway Park Sucks.
