Fantasy Pitch F/X

I also write on RotoSavants.com, where my friend Troy is the main contributor and my buddy Lee contributes.  Together we focus on various different aspects of fantasy baseball.

Currently, Troy is producing most of the content, however that will soon change as Kevin has joined the team.  Their profiles are below:

Troy Patterson -I have been playing fantasy sports of all styles for almost 15 years. I started with online style Strat-O-Matic style games and then 50 million dollar roster games. In college I started my first draft and 5×5 leagues. I now play every year in a keeper league using extra stats for a 6×6 with OBP instead of average. I have studied sabermetrics ever since Moneyball has become a common term. I enjoy making player analysis and predictions and pride in my ability to have free agent pickups lead my team to victory. I also write a weekly article at MLB Front Office and I am also a staff writer for FantasyPros911.

Professionally I work in the Pharmaceutical field with drug discovery. I use similar statistical analysis in the research for better cancer fighting drugs.

Kevin Jebens – Kevin has been playing fantasy baseball since 2000. Although he started with rotisserie leagues and enjoys them the most, he found his niche in points and head-to-head leagues, winning both the first time he tried them. (Ironically, a first-place rotisserie trophy still eludes him.) Basing his own strategy on the sabermetric philosophy of looking beyond the common stats, Kevin takes pride in his ability to look at numbers and stats that are provided by league pages but that most managers ignore.

His favorite fantasy achievement is from the 2008 season, when he took over a team nearly two thirds of the way through the offline draft. The team was destined for a bottom-place finish, with picks of Mike Lowell and Dontrelle Willis in the top third rounds, and Melky Cabrera and Ken Griffey in the middle rounds. Kevin was able to turn the terrible team into a playoff contender, reaching second place in the regular season standings and ending with a third-place playoff finish.

In his spare time from absorbing everything baseball, Kevin edits both fiction and nonfiction manuscripts for a publication services company.
