Fantasy Baseball Tip of the Month:
Good Pitchers Are Worth More Than Good Hitters...
In almost all rotisserie fantasy baseball leagues offensive players make up the lions share of a teams active roster. In FSRU, we activate 13 offensive players and 9 pitchers for a total active roster of 22.
In essence, while pitchers make up 1/2 of the 10 rotisserie statistical catagories (5) pitchers make up only 41% of your active roster. Therefore, each individual good pitcher is worth more than an equally good hitter.
While pitchers are historically inconsistent and more injury prone than hitters, when left with the choice of a top tier hitter vs. a top tier pitcher, in most cases, the pitcher will result in the more valuable or at least certainly has the biggest upside if both players perform as expected. Don't forget that on draft day.
2009 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
Light Sleepers 1. P Francisco Liriano, Min- Injured in 2008...He has been great...He will go after 6th round...Steal him. 2. P Chris Young, SD- Injured in 2008... He has been good...He can be great... 3. SS Rafael Furcal, LAD- Injured in 2008... You gotta take some risks to win it all... We like the risk/reward to this one.
Heavy Sleepers 1. OF Fernando Tatis, NYM- Will start all year and produce. 2. P David Purcey, Tor- In his second year, He will go from OK to Good. Try to grab him late. 3. OF Matt Laporta, Cle- If he makes the team, this rookie will hit...and hit...and hit... 4. P Jose Arredondo, Ana- A very nice young closer in Anaheim once FROD signs with another team.
In A Coma 1. 3B Brandon Wood, LAA- If he makes the team, his power makes him worth the last pick in the draft. 2. OF Carlos Gonzalez, Col- 23 year old posted poor numbers in Oakland. Aquired as one of the three players in Matt Holiday trade. Will get a legitimate shot to start in Colorado. 3. RP Jose Ceda, Fla- Gregg traded to Cubs for AA closer Ceda, who is directly behind Linstrom as Marlins closer.
FSRU HAS NEVER CLOSED A KEEPER LEAGUE... All too often, sites advertise "keeper" leagues and then close them after a year or two because they lose so many team owners. That doesnt happen here. Check out our League Winners page to see the consistency of our leagues. Then check back in 20 years. We will have a lot more leagues of course, but the ones you see today will still be here. How do we know that, well, because... FSRU WILL NEVER CLOSE A KEEPER LEAGUE...
Our Engraved 18" Trophies are Awesome!
All league Winners and receive an engraved 18" trophy after the season ends. Runners-Up trophies are between 14" and 18".
Perfect for display at your home or office each is personally engraved.
We know it is hard to finish in 1st or 2nd place in a rotisserie or head to head fantasy sports league and you deserve a symbol of that victory.
While we at FSRU realize the money is the primary prize, we also understand it only provides short- term gratification. Years from now, when the prize money is little more than a distant memory, this trophy will continue to make you remember and SMILE. Mission Accomplished!

FSRU.com has REAL KEEPER LEAGUES!!!
In fantasy baseball, all Fantasy Sports "R" Us Team owners protect keepers and a supplemental draft is held yearly. Many of our competitors that advertise keeper leagues actually run what?s known as Dynasty Leagues. All teams start the year with the same roster they ended the previous year with. Dynasty is a fitting name since the same teams tend to win those leagues year after year. While more work for the site, Real Keeper Leagues provide a far more competitive, stable and enjoyable experience for our team owners.
Do Not Get Fooled...
By the way, If you are looking for some juicy football lines, BetUS Sportsbook has got quite a few of them.

Then don't visit this one! Fantasy Baseball Rules This is the site owners personal blog and we pretty much all hate it so far. We can all hope it either gets better, or he lets us take it off the homepage.
Mock Drafts
FSRU team owners will be doing a series of fantasy baseball mock drafts in 2009 and posting them right here for the world to see. If you would like to be a part of one. Notify your commissioner and you will get a link to a mock draft league. Our first Mock Draft is Saturday, January 10th at 8pm EST.
