For the last several years my buddy Josh Robbins and I have come up with ways to beat our individual world records for ballpark chasing.
My record is all 30 MLB Parks (every pitch) in just 23 Calendar Days. I accomplished this feat in 2012. You can read about that trip here. After scouring the MLB Schedule for 2016, there is not even an attempt to try for the record this season.
Unless it changes, it will be another campaign I will sip (Gas Monkey Cinnamon Tequilla) as the world record holder for another year.
Dynasty Leagues: MLB Fantasy Rankings Links By Position
Fantasy Baseball is gaining tonnes of traction among sports gamblers in the world. There is no coincidence that the biggest sole reason the NFL is the most popular sport in America is because of the gambling factor. Fantasy sports has enabled fans to spread out their baseball viewing habits on TV. I have played for a few years now. Since watching one solitary game is boring – because of wasted time, every device I watch MLB on has 4 windows of games to watch simultaneously.

The following rankings are for dynasty leagues. Dynasty leagues keep the same roster every year following the initial draft. These leagues place significantly more value on younger players, which is why my rankings may look different from a lot of other fantasy baseball rankings online.
All of my rankings are based on positional eligibility of 10 games or more at the specified position. I will state if a player has multi-positional eligibility based on these requirements in the bios of each player. If you have any questions, tweet me
Make It Or Break It Year For The New York Yankees
The Yankees acquisition of Aroldis Chapman is great notion that the club will continue to make plans to acquire more players on the last year of their team control.
The Yankees have yet to sign one big-league player this offseason. This is very unlike the New York Yankees, who are known as big spenders every offseason.
While they haven’t signed anyone, they have traded for Starlin Castro and Aroldis Chapman. Both of these additions will be very influential to the Yankees success in 2016, but many people are still wondering what is going on during this odd offseason.
I believe the Yankees realize they are getting older and they are trying to rely on their minor league developmental process.
They should start to see some of their young studs make the move to the show soon, so there is no need to delay that process by overspending on a free agent this offseason.
The New York Yankees finished the 2015 season with a 87-75 record. This earned them a wildcard playoff spot, but they lost to the Houston Astros in the first round
. While the Yankees have plenty of talent on their roster, there is no denying that the average age of their lineup is a problem for the future.
They had the 6th highest average age out of all Major League Baseball teams in 2015 at 29.6 years old.
This doesn’t seem significantly high, but their core group of talent is much older than the average. See below for the age of each player, games played in 2015, and when they are a free agent:
Odds To Win The 2016 MLB World Series
Yoenis Cespedes led all LF for HRs with 35 on the campaign in 2015. He picked a contract year for his best season to date out of the 4 years he has been in the Major Leagues. Cespedes hit 17 HRs with the Mets in 2 months, after smacking out just 18 in the first four months with Detroit. Cespedes finished in the top 40 for both leagues in respective big fly’s, and was tied for 13th overall with Manny Machado and David Ortiz. New York brought him back for at least another year, where he helped the Mets go 34 – 23 down the stretch. Expect more of the same in 2016. Mets are the best bet of the week for the ‘Fall Classic’ value wise.

A couple of things have happened over the last week. The Mets signed Yoenis Cespedes and no odd was changed after this. Very strange indeed.
With adding the Cuban slugger, the Mets have almost assured their fanbase for another post season berth in 2016. This club is more like it was in the last 2 months than it was in the 1st four months.
Even if the Nationals were to have an unbelievable year – the Mets should still make the postseason as the #1 Wild Card seed.
I have the Mets as a 96 win team after this move, with the Nats listed about 93 victories. Had the Nats picked up Cespedes, I would have given Washington a 95 – 92 win advantage over New York. Read the rest of this entry
