Win one day of fantasy-filled fun, win $200 and prove that you’re better than me in fantasy baseball. That’s it. Two hundred dollars. Stick it to me. It’s easy, fun and you’re going to love it.
What do I have to do to win $200 and stick it to you, Anthony?
Sign up at FanDuel.com and enter the ScoresReport.com $500 Contest. It’s easy to sign up and the entry fee is only $5. Once you’re signed up, FanDuel will give you the opportunity to select nine players from the following April 1 MLB games (click here for more detailed rules, or see below). If you beat me and fellow TSR members (and longtime fantasy baseball enthusiasts) Jamey Codding and David Medsker, you’ll win $5. If you finish in the top 7, you’ll win even more cash, up to $200.
What are the rules?
- Each player has a salary, and you only have $35k to spend.
- You must pick the following positions: P, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF
- The game starts Fri 1st Apr at 1:05pm EDT so enter before then.
- Again, if you manage to finish above our three experts you win an extra $5
How does the scoring work?
Once you’ve selected your team, they’ll be awarded these points in these categories: Hitters: 1B = 1pt, 2B = 2pts, 3B = pts, HR = 4pts, RBI = 1pt, R = 1pt, BB = 1pt, SB = 2pts, Out = -.25pt Pitchers: W = 7pts, ER = -1pt, SO=1pt, IP = 1pt.
Can I win a cash prize if I come in second?
Yes, $100, as well as for third place ($75), fourth place ($50), fifth place ($30), sixth place ($25) and seventh place ($20). So for signing up for a $5 contest, you could win $20 as long as you come in seventh. You can finish in at least seventh place right? Right? Right?!
What’s the catch?
No catch. Sign up is easy, the entry fee is only $5 and all you have to do is beat me in fantasy baseball for one day…ah, so there’s the catch. There’s no way you’re beating me in fantasy baseball.

Hey, I’m in an 18 person mixed league, I have the option of keeping a roster spot for brandon belt, melky cabrera, jed lowrie, russel branyan, which would you keep? thanks
Kris,
Can you be patient? Because if you can, Belt offers the most upside of everyone you have listed – by a long shot.
The problem is there’s a good chance he’ll start the year in Triple-A. Can you wait until June? He’s absolutely crushing the ball this spring and the Giants know they have the next Buster Posey on their hands. Therefore, if you’re fine with your roster and you can store someone, store Belt. Cabrera, Lowrie and Branyan just don’t come close to his potenital.
If you can’t wait or can’t risk a roster spot on someone who might not see the bigs in 2-3 months, then look at your roster, see where you’re weakest at and then check the wavier wire. I’m sure you can find OFs, so Cabrera might be expendable. But Lowrie is stuck behind Scutaro and Branyan only really has value in NL-only leagues.
On second thought, I might keep Belt no matter what. He’s going to be up at some point and again, he’s mashing the ball.
