Trust the Gut: Fantasy Baseball FAAB Guide Week 7
SUNDAY UPDATE It’s basically George Kirby Day with insane amount of FAAB projected to be spent on him. It will likely take more than $250 in most 15-teamers to get him (and possibly in 12s as well). Don’t believe his mediocre outing against the Mets will lower bid prices on him much. I still do […]

Trust the Gut: Fantasy Baseball FAAB Guide Week 6
SUNDAY UPDATE So much to cover, it’s insane. If you haven’t spent a good chunk of today on FAAB stuff, you’re probably going to get outworked. The biggest news is George Kirby. He was brilliant (6 IP – 4 H – 0 ER – 0 BB – 7 K on 81 pitches) and is going […]
