The Big Time!

Woohoo! MLB Front Office is expanding, fast! I just wanted to update you on a couple of things that you may see coming up. Along with the links that you will see on the right hand side (I add more every day), MLB Front Office is working on a partnership with a number of different websites. I'm having ongoing conversation with Lenny Melnick of lennymelnickfantasybaseball.com, Mark Haverty of sportsblurb.com, and Keithe Morton of thefantasydraft.com. I am very excited for where this blog could go.

In addition, you will notice some new features on the right hand side. There is now a contact me link, a link to the official MLB Front Office dynasty league and a news feed from espn.com that contains all the latest and fast breaking news in the MLB.

I would also like to appologize for the lack of content today. I spent the day working on an article that I am developing about statistical oddities in baseball. This article will probably appear on lennymelnickfantasybaseball.com as well as possibly the other two websites I mentioned, and of course, it will appear here. To make up for the lack of content, I figured I'd give you a little sneak peak:

"Fantasy Baseball is one of the fastest growing enterprises in the United States. Why? Because baseball has the most statistic obsessed fan base of any professional sport. In what other sport would people first research the Day and Night game splits for a player and than calculate the number of Day vs. Night games the player will play the following year and how it will affect his numbers (ok – maybe I just have too much free time)? However ridiculous some statistics may be, there are others that are a necessary part to understanding where value lies in fantasy baseball and also to finding the sleepers and the underrated players. To some these statistics may seem daunting; to others they are just a part of the annual research process. This article will attempt to demonstrate, first what each statistic is and second how it can be used to keep you in the money."

That is just the first paragraph of what will probably end up being a four page article on statistics in baseball. If you are curious as to the rest of the article, you will just have to check back here in the coming days. Also don't forget to check out the websites I mentioned above.

Last but certainly not least, I'd like to extend a special invitation to all of you to check out The Waiver Wire. The Waiver Wire was also featured on Roto Authority in its earliest days, as was MLB Front Office. It is a very unique blog targeted to a very specific audience: Each day, the blog will identify a starting pitcher and a relief pitcher who they expect to perform well that day and are available in at least 50% of Yahoo public fantasy baseball leagues. The Waiver wire will explain why the player was chosen, and at the end of the season, they will see how they did over the course of the season.At the end of the season, The Waiver Wire will donate 1/4 of whatever they earn from the ads on the site to 'Save The Children'. It's a great cause and a great blog. Check it out!
