My Portfolio

Five of my six drafts are in the books, so my fantasy portfolio is nearly complete. As usual, I've targeted the same players in multiple leagues which means two things: fewer rooting conflicts and truer outcomes. What I mean by the latter is either I'll win because I picked the right guys, or I won't. If you have six leagues, and you roster all different players, you almost can't help lucking into a win just because you have an investment in every possible scenario. And at the same time, there's almost no way all your teams will do well. But this year, I have a chance if five or six players pan out. Here are my various rosters:

On: 3/29/2011 12:48:00 AM		 I find Carlos Ruiz, Adam LaRoche, Anibal Sanchez, Matt Garza, Neil Walker, Huston Street, Jorge De La Rosa, Manny Ramirez, & John Danks on at least half my teams through various formats. I wish I owned more shares of Michael Brantley.

On: 3/29/2011 1:53:00 AM		 I couldn't agree more here. I own Tex, Verlander, Zobrist, Quentin, Beckham, Bumgarner, Kuroda, Garza, ASanchez, Bedard, Zimmermann, Moreland, Seth Smith, Kila, Beachy in 3/3 yahoo leagues (2 standard, 1 obp instead of avg)

Arod, CSantana, Hanson, Markakis, YEscobar in 2/3 leagues

On: 3/29/2011 8:16:00 AM		 I have Alvarez, Beckham, Stanton, Rasmus, Smoak, Pineda, T. Wood, Walden on most of my teams. I have Fielder on every auction team. Unlike last year, I only used my own opinion...I expect to rebound and kick ass again!

On: 3/29/2011 12:45:00 PM		 i'm heavily invested in Youkilis, Chipper, Choo, Manny, Hamels and Vazquez (and Raburn, who qualifies at 2B in my leagues). if nothing else, i am very well positioned to win the 2007 fantasy title ...

On: 3/29/2011 2:53:00 PM		 I realize you were in 5 leagues. But since one was AL-Only and one was NL-Only, you should say 3 out of 4, not 3 out of 5. After all, it wasn't possible to own any of those players in all 5 leagues.

When you characterize it in terms of 3 out of 4 and 2 out of 4, your ownership seems more significant.

On: 3/29/2011 2:58:00 PM		 Agreed Mark. Also one league was a keeper league, and Wieters for example, wasn't available in that, either.

Interesting Spring Performances, Part One: The NL
As spring training ambles nonchalantly towards the finish line, it's always fun to take a look at spring stats to see who really jumps off the page and might be making some kind of statement or other...
My AL Tout Wars team
We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:

My "Beat Peter Schoenke" Draft Results.

My entry in the RotoWire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship was Monday night. Here's my quick take on the draft - this is a 12-team mixed league, 5x5 categories, 30 rosters spots (23 active), with no trades in the league. It has a top prize of $50,000 and a league prize of $1,400.
