As I sat and watched the All Star Game on Tuesday I think I had more fun watching the Hall of Famers come out to great applause before the game than I did watching the actual contest. Seeing one of my favorite pitchers, Bob Gibson, brought back a wave of nostalgia when players stayed with a team their entire careers meaning he is a forever Cardinal. Seeing Mr October, Reggie Jackson, reminded me of great players in great situations rise to the great occasions. Watching the graceful and dignified Hank Aaron brought back thoughts to when I saw him hit a home run in Busch Stadium and how important it was for me to be there.Most importantly I thought about Yankee Stadium itself. The House That Ruth Built and the field that Joe Pepitone tried to burn up! Never a greater moment happened in baseball or sports when Lou Gehrig stood on that very field and told us how lucky he was. The graceful Joe DiMaggio and the flamboyant Mickey Mantle, the quiet Roger Maris, who still holds the single season home run record in my book, Don Larson's perfect game. Yankee Stadium IS baseball, since 1923, and now it is being torn down for some new ball yard across the street....what's next, Citgo Field in Boston while Fenway is torn down and the Green Monster is being sold off in pieces on Ebay!To me Fantasy Baseball captures that youthful enthusiasm of going to your first game if only for a moment each day. To be that 6 year old kid sitting in the bleachers, 600 feet from home plate with my little league glove, waiting for Ted Simmons or Joe Torre to hit one to me and really believing they could. Having my Aunt Trula teach me how to keep score and helping me with my pork chop sandwich that my Mom made for me before we left. Standing in line on Bat Night with my Dad so I could watch Roberto Clemente roam right field and try to throw out Lou Brock going from first to third. Man, that is fantasy baseball.But fantasy baseball continues to defy actual baseball and owners throw it in our face when they tear down Tiger Stadium in Detroit, Comiskey Park in Chicago, or Sportsman's Park in St Louis. These places can be rehabbed and saved so that owners can have there luxury boxes and allow us to cherish our memories. But everyone wants new and new means better they say. I could see bulldozing the Vet in Philly, that place was ugly from the start and so was Riverfront in Cincy but I bet if you asked the fans of those cities they would tell you they loved those cookie cutters. Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski hammering long balls and the Big Red Machine that had one Hall of Famer after another made those places special. The cookie cutter in St Louis is special to me, I was at Bob Forsch's no hitter and I witnessed greatness in Whiteyball in the 80's.Yankee Stadium will go down and I guess the same will happen to Wrigley eventually. Doris Kearns Goodwin writes about the Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn and the Polo Grounds and Willie Mayswhat it meant to her. It is a distance memory to most or for me, only something to read about as something in history but it should never happen. Fantasy baseball is a great pastime that gives us the opportunity to make new memories and cherish pennant races, if anybody even buys pennants anymore. It allows us to maintain friendships and cultivate new ones. It allows us to connect with the new players as the owners tear down the actual structures of our childhood. Pretty soon the "Field of Dreams" will only be something that can be seen on VHS, wait DVD.

If you are in the mid tier you are for sure taking a 1 or 2 in a catagory. You have two options obviously, load up to make a move or punt it entirely and trade off the excess. Three catagories that this is common are saves, steals, and batting average. If I am at the bottom of standings in steal and I have Ichiro and Victorino they are not helping my team but trading them to someone who needs help in those catagories allows me to shore up my power numbers or my strikeouts. Don't fight over 2 points, concede the catagories and make a 12 point run in homers and RBI plus your should get a boost in your run catagory.High batting average guys like Joe Mauer are not helping me if I am getting 2 points in that catagory but if I parlay him to a better strikeout pitcher and low batting average catcher with power then I helping my team out immensely in multiple catagories.I am last in one of my daily leagues in saves due to closer injuries and I am also at the bottom in ERA and WHIP. What I have done is the opposite of punting catagories, I can't concede THREE catagories, so as a result I am trading for as many closers as I can get. I now have six closers on my roster. They will help in all three deficient catagories and since it is a daily league I rotate my five starters as they pitch to keep up in Ks and wins. It is a risky strategy but I am in 7th place, I have to do something!Finally, if you are in the bottom tier of your standings you do have some options to keep you interested in your fantasy teams. If you are unsure if you still have a chance I will quote a theory from my friend Johnny Archive. He calls it the Firecracker 540 rule. If on July 4th, you are 5 spots out of the money and/or 40 points behind in the standings you have to start looking out for next year. I feel that theory is a great rule of thumb.If you are in this position I hope you are in a keeper league. If you are not then you still have an obligation to complete the league and stay competitve. If you are not, it still applies to you . Take two minutes out of your day to check the standings and make a free agent claim, answer trade offers in a timely fashion, move injury players to the IR slot, and keep up with the September call ups. Too many owners bag the season once football starts and miss out on preparing for the next season. Also if you just quit you risk the chance of not being asked back to the league. If you are in a keeper league you want to offer trades to league leaders that help them to win this year and help you prepare to dominate next year. The second place team has Hanley Ramirez but can make up a huge amount of points in wins. You offer him Zambrano, Dice K, and Hardy for Hanley. He has to look at it because he is in it to win it. As an owner you want to bring back the 5 best players you can for next year. Trade as many spare parts as you can to get those players.Fantasy baseball is fun and I love playing it but let's face it, it is a six month grinding season that takes committment no matter where you are in the standings. By using these tips you can still have fun and be part of the pennant stretch.

On the True Guru show last week, Mike Podhorzer from the Fantasy Baseball Generals asked me about "Buy Low" candidates and if there is such a thing anymore. So many websites and articles talk about players who were drafted high and now are underperforming are prime candidates. That is great advice until you actually try to trade for them and find out everyone else knows who the buy low players are as well, making your trade strategy worthless. As a result, how do you acquire those players without having to totally overpay for them...there is a way.Most articles I have read about Buy Low Players infer that you can acquire a preseason Top 100 player for 3 players on your reserve slots and a bag of balls. The owners of these top 9 rounds players will be so happy to unload these players that they will take anything for them is the insinuation. We all know in practice that just doesn't happen. If we have one of those players we continue to hang on to them, hoping against hope, that they will catch fire and award our preseason belief that they are really an upper tier player. If that player continues to underperform most owners are too prideful and too stubborn to admit to our colossal mistake. Most owners are also smart enough to realize that when a trade offer comes over that has no name players who have started off moderately well for my 5th round pick that it is a Buy Low offer. On most occasions that trade offer will not only be rejected but the insulted owner will be wary of any offer that you send him in the future. So how do we acquire that player for the price we want without insulting the owner who has him? That is the $64,000 question.I find the best way to pluck that underperforming star off your rivals roster is make him the second player in the deal, not the focal point. Let me give you an example:
Team A need a closer and has depth at Third Base to trade. Team A also could use a 5th OF and sees that Alex Rios is on Team B's squad. Team A makes an inital trade offer of Aramis Ramirez for Joe Nathan and Alex Rios. Team B see this offer and may believe that is too much to give up but is intrigued at the prospect of making a significant upgrade at 3B. If Team B does not take the offer he may counter with a different offer that requires you to even up the offer with a fast start OF in the mode of Xavier Nady. Team A may not want to give up that much but you now have dialogue with Team B for a Buy Low candidate without making it an obvious move that is insulting.The key to the transaction is to make the Buy Low player the "Add On" or "The Throw In" and not the main player. By diverting the attention away from the underperforming player the owner does not feel you are trying to take advantage of his player's poor start and you are getting a player who you think will perform closer to standards after you acquire him. Everybody wins!Astute owners can still acquire the Buy Low candidate but have to learn the art of subtle negotation to make it happen. By using this technique you can make it happen.

THE 7 WORDS YOU CAN’T SAY( OR DON’T WANT TO SAY) IN FANTASY BASEBALL
By Rhett Oldham, FantasySportsZone
In honor of George Carlin I have made up my own list of the “7 words”. Unlike George’s list, most owners can say the words on television but the words they say afterwards are a different story
