"Twelve men entered. Only six survived. And one of them came down with the flu."

You may have noticed the change in appearance. The Bloguin Network has undergone some construction and we now have a cleaner, crisper template. The colors aren't my taste, but we're stuck with them for now. A new comments system should be coming at some point in time. Maybe one day, we'll have a forum.

For the foreseeable future, I will be working hard behind the scenes. The rankings/projections are time consuming and I'm working with Charlie Saponara and Mark Schruender on a 2011 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide. The (early) plan is for the downloadable guide to be free of charge.

The Wall of Fame is up! We have three past champions and three more to be crowned this coming season. Blog Wars is for the pros, but the Million Dollar Challenge and an unannounced blog league await you. Be sure to post a comment here if you want in the MDC.

Be sure to check out the rankings/projections. Feel free to ask about any of the statistics. I have a system, but the mechanical number crunching does include opinions of a player's future K%, Power and BABIP. It's a science and an art. If you don't agree with something, we can plug your opinions into the formula and create your own, personal projection.

A new poll is up, but it's not letting me vote yet... grrrr....

It's time for Phat Albert and the Cabrera Kids. This is MDS coming at ya with some statistical music and fun and if you're not careful, you may learn something before it's done. Hey, hey, hey! After the jump, my 1B rankings and projections for the 2011 fantasy baseball season.

No theme today. Just a bunch of random notes while I stare at my projections and rankings for Catchers. Meet me on the dark side of this blog post.

I have four Catchers ranked ahead of Buster Posey. Can you believe it? Sandy Alomar is not one of those four, but that other guy made the cut. Carlos Santana is ready for the stage. He is a musician with the ash and the maple. He will soon be voted into many All-Star games, but that doesn't matter because I ranked him ahead of Buster Posey and that means much, much more. Carlos Santana accepts his award after the jump.
