Mixing the love of sports with an unquenchable, Ph.D. sized thirst for crunching numbers.
Cyberspace location where the Docs hit the diamond.
Peas and carrots, chips and salsa, fantasy football and fantasy baseball…there
are just some things in life that are meant to go together. The fantasy
football and baseball seasons compliment each other perfectly, and many die
hard fantasy football addicts find themselves participating in fantasy baseball
to help ease the pain of the off-season. These folks are not alone,
as the Docs have found themselves doing the exact same thing through the
years. In fact, if you haven’t ever played fantasy baseball, you should
give it a shot.
Are these the same Docs that...
Brought you FootballDocs Fantasy Football? They are the one in the
same. The Docs have compiled fantasy baseball rankings for years and
now enjoy making these rankings available to the public on BaseballDocs Fantasy
Baseball.
Fantasy baseball and Docs?
You bet. Fantasy baseball is a game of numbers and completely hinges
on statistics. Fantasy point totals and subsequent fantasy wins and
losses are determined solely on player statistics. That’s where the Docs
come in. BaseballDocs is like no other fantasy baseball site on the
web, and the only known site to be completely run and operated by fantasy addicts with
advanced degrees up to the Ph.D. level (for those that have asked and are curious -- all advanced
degrees are in engineering and from Georgia Tech). The Docs wakeup to sports talk radio on their alarm
and fall asleep with SportsCenter fading off in the distance. With a Ph.D.in engineering, crunching numbers, developing numerical models,
and predicting statistical trends are an everyday way of life. There
is no better place for these geeks than in the world of fantasy sports, which
represents a perfect marriage between numerical analysis and otherwise worthless
sports trivia knowledge amassed from countless sports articles, television
shows, and talk radio. The Docs will get you locked in on some of the
best fantasy baseball rankings and cheatsheets available on the web.
Where can I play Fantasy Baseball?
Although there are several media sites available for playing fantasy baseball
(most charge a fee to play), we personally enjoy using the free version found
on Yahoo! It has an easy setup and allows folks to hit the ground running
with a competitive league quickly.
