Blogging leadoff

Welcome to my new blog!

I've gone back and forth in my mind over the years as to whether I should start blogging about fantasy baseball. My biggest hang-up has always been reminiscent of a classic Vito Corleone line: "Never tell somebody outside the Family what you're thinking." After all, if I were to see an MLB trend that nobody else in my league sees, then why would I share it with a competitor?

An example of my aforementioned concern came earlier this year when Tim Dierkes, a fantasy baseball expert of MLB Trade Rumors and RotoAuthority fame, noted that during his RotoAuthority draft many teams were targeting the same players as him.

So why have I finally decided to start blogging about fantasy baseball? Well, first of all, it's going to be fun. I want this to be a place where people can come and just talk baseball. Secondly, it sure will be nice to have an online forum to brag to the world once I repeat as The Urbana Premier League champion. ;-)
