BoKnowz Updates

I have several updates to report today.

First of all I have a handful of new articles and blog postings over at FoxSportsNorth.com:

An analysis of several player performances from around the majors in an attempt to decipher which ones are for real and which ones are not. Read the full article entitled "Trend or Mirage" over at FoxSportsNorth.com.

A look at the incredible start to the season that Ubaldo Jimemez has turned in. I examine his current pace and tell you what I would do if I owned him in a fantasy league and someone had the audacity to make me a trade offer for him. It's entitled "Unbelievable Ubaldo" and it's available exclusively at FoxSportsNorth.com.

Third, I examine the fanfare surrounding the upcoming debut this Tuesday (June 8) of Washington Nationals pitching phenom, Stephen Strasburg. Will he live up to the hype? Check out "Here Comes Strasburg" only at FoxSportsNorth.com.

Paul Allen of KFAN Radio in the Twin Cities has asked me to extend my role as a weekly in-studio contributor year-round. So the plan is for me to continue joining P.A. every Wednesday for an hour starting at 9:55 AM CT. We talk a lot of major league baseball, Twins baseball, and fantasy baseball, plus we take your phone calls. The show can be heard online at KFAN.com and you can listen to the replay of every show on their "FAN on Demand" page.

I also want to pass along that I will be conducting a free online chat this Thursday at 12 Noon Central Time, talking all things fantasy baseball and fantasy football.  I invite you to swing by FoxSportsNorth.com while you are eating lunch at your desk and pepper me with some questions.

We are still in the process of building up the fantasy page at FSN.com. My in-season fantasy baseball rankings and preseason fantasy football cheat sheets will be coming soon. I will be sure to post an announcement here when they are live on the site.

Hot Pickups

Fantasy baseball veterans know better than to rest on their laurels when they are in first place or sit and do nothing when their team is in the cellar. You should be constantly trolling the waters in your league's free agency pool looking for ways to improve your team.

This should be a daily, not monthly, exercise. Yeah, I know that sounds like a lot of work, but it's supposed to be fun ... besides, you DO want to win your league, don't you?

I have taken it upon myself to uncover some of the hottest pickups in fantasy baseball right now. I whittled it down to a top 10, including Angels starting pitcher Ervin Santana, and published my findings (where else?) over at FoxSportsNorth,com. You can read the full article there, entitled "Hot Pickups."

Have I mentioned that you can find ALL my fantasy baseball and fantasy football analysis all in one place over at FoxSportsNorth.com? Do you get the sense I'm trying to push traffic toward the site?

You can also follow by FoxSportsNorth,com Tweets at http://twitter.com/FSNBoMitchell. It's a different Twitter account than the one that generates the feed found in the right hand column here at BoKnowz.com so I encourage you to check it out.
