Getting to know the Author/Blog

Hello Fantasy Baseball Brethren,

What you have stumbled upon here is an idea that I have had for many many years and finally after much waxing and waning, I grew the stones to start writing. The main column here will be about finding the diamonds in the rough ie. players that are being overlooked and could be possibly be breakout candidates. There will be more columns to follow but those are still cooking.

First let me give you a little background about myself.

My name is Andy Anderson (I know what were my parents thinking?) and I am a senior at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. I have been playing fantasy sports for many years and have a few titles under my belt. I, like some of you might believe that I have more wisdom than you and what I have is worth reading but hey go make your own blog, this is mine. Many of my friends ask me for fantasy advice and have even suggested that I start my own blog. Hoping they weren't just blowing smoke at me, I am finally taking their advice. I would love to say that all the information your going to receive is going to be original but the truth is that just like you, I don't exist in vacuum and it would be silly to get advice the same way. You should (like I do) use other sites and other people to help you as much as you can while still remembering that too many cooks does spoil the broth. My template for these articles is going to be writing about a few players each week, looking at some stats and metrics (we will get to this) and then making predictions and evaluations. I fully expect to be wrong sometimes but that just comes with the course. Also expect this column to evolve with time, because if Dan Duran (Drexel Professor) has taught me anything it is that evolution has happened and will happen again. So without further ado, lets get started.

Hopefully you will find this blog; easy, fun, insightful and not a waste of time although I have found that when it comes to researching fantasy players, it is never a waste of time!

Andy
