Congrats to KFFL Baseball buddy Scott Gilroy for his correct guess of Justin Smoak in our final Guess The Sleeper contest. (Follow Scott. He knows his stuff.)

But … enough with the games. Let’s do this.

I’ve procured the No. 2 selection in the Fantasy Sports Trade Association‘s MLB experts draft, my first real deal of 2012, next Monday night at The Mirage in Las Vegas at the annual FSTA conference!

I’m in a fight with 12 big-named squads – a lot more pairs than usual, think more competitors are starting to emulate defending champion Ray Flowers (Sirius XM Fantasy Sports Radio), who had co-host Kay Adams with him at last year’s table.

In a drawing for the opportunity to pick your draft slot, I came out second in line. Following suit, I took the second pick, as the top selection was taken. Many are afraid to draft near the top this year; I usually prefer the back end of the first snake stanza. But there are several stable options near the top, and I’m changing up my usual approach to nab one of them.
