Quote of the day
"Everything's changed around here." -- Miami Marlins 3B Hanley Ramirez, preparing for the season opener in a new ballparkDaily blurb
There are times when I wish I had a staff at RotoGuru World headquarters. The start of any sports season is always one of those times. It takes a lot of effort and attention to make sure all systems are working properly, that all changes in dates, teams, ballparks, and rosters are properly coded, and all routines are locked and loaded. Believe it or not, this is the 15th season of baseball coverage for RotoGuru.net. You’d think I’d have it all down by now. But there are always new developments, and new opportunities, and old anomalies that I’d just plain forgotten. So please give me a few days to shake down all of the systems.
In addition to RotoGuru, I need to make sure DailyBaseballData.com is up to snuff. Don’t forget about this useful resource, especially if you are looking for data to support your entries in daily contests.
Speaking of which, FanDuel will open the season tomorrow with a $1000 Baseball Freeroll. For details, including links to a properly configured sortable stats, please visit this thread.
While attending to your baseball needs, don’t forget to set your GuruGolf foursome(s) for The Masters. Remember that there are separate prizes for each Major tournament, so even if your season is off to a slow start – or a non-start – you can always shoot for a one-week bonanza. If you think your roster value isn’t high enough to compete for the best ball title, then go for the worst ball contest. Just remember that, even with worst ball scoring, it helps to have at least a couple of players survive the cut.
