Fantasy Baseball Post-Mortem

Fantasy baseball season is finally over. I hope you won!

Now that it has wrapped up, there are plenty of things that we learned.

1. Don't believe the hype

In this case, don't believe all of the media outlets meandering about Albert Pujols' elbow injury. He finished the season as the top earner in fantasy baseball, and while he did miss time due to injury, it had nothing to do with his elbow. He won't need Tommy John surgery and enters next season relatively healthy.

2. Remember Prime Seasons

A-Rod had a nice year, but it was not worthy of the first overall pick. Now he is past his prime and will be picked as the first overall pick in 2009 less and less than the last several years.

3. Pitching is Unpredictable

Sure, CC Sabathia, Johan Santana and Jake Peavy were great again. But we also had several players who performed even better than them such as Tim Lincecum and Cliff Lee. This is another reason to hold off on drafting pitching.
