Week 1 FREE Football Fantasy Contest – $300 in cash prizes

Now that the the MLB regular season is coming to an end, that means NFL is right around the corner! To make things a little more interesting, our buddies at DraftStreet are giving us a FREE, fantasy football league for $300 in cash prizes. You draft a team for one week and get paid out when the Monday Night Football game ends.

This free contest will be salary-cap style drafting where everyone tries to assemble the best team out of the available players. You will have a $100,000 budget to build a team of 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 2 FLEX, and 1 Defense. Each NFL player has been assigned a price based on their expected fantasy performance. For example, for week 1 Tom Brady costs $20,124 where as Mark Sanchez only costs $10,997.

I’ll be playing, look for DavidPinto in the leader boards. Hope all of you do better than me, since football is not my game!

You can adjust your roster up until the contest starts on Sunday September 9th at 1:00 ET, at which time your rosters will lock and the Live Scoreboard will be available.

It was a good night for anyone who played the Matthew Berry Challenge at DraftStreet. Mr. Berry finished 62, so 61 contestants received back their entry fee. Congratulations to Kiddie34 who finished first and took home the $145 first prize. My team did well for a change, finishing second. My last second changes to Manny Machado and Mark Rogers paid off. Hope you’ll play again in a couple of weeks. There are two more DraftStreet contests left.

Take on Matthew Berry in a $500 DraftStreet League!

If you ever thought you had the goods to take on the Fantasy “Experts”, now is the time to prove it. This Friday, we’re running a promotion with DraftStreet where you compete against Matthew Berry in a league that has $500 in prizes PLUS an additional $5 to anyone who can beat Matthew Berry. That’s right. Even if you finish out of the money, all you have to do is beat Matthew Berry to win $5. I’ll be playing, too. Look for DavidPinto. You only get satisfaction for beating me, however. 🙂

The league only costs $5 to enter and is limited to 100 entries, so don’t wait too long to join!

It will be Salary Cap draft style, which means you start with a budget of $100,000. You must build a team of 14 players(C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 2 U, 3 OF, 2 SP, 1 RP, 1 P), while staying under the salary cap. Rosters lock at 7:05 EST on Friday and the winners get paid right after all of the games end.

Congratulations to maddawg24 who won the Baseball Musings DraftStreet contest Friday night. Curtis Granderson and Josh Willingham had big nights for him. My team did okay, finishing 58 out of over 1000 entries. I hope you’ll play next time.

One Day FREE Fantasy Contest – $350 in cash prizes

If you missed it last time, there’s a new way to play fantasy baseball that turns the season long grind into quick one night leagues. And the best part is that you can win cash every single day.

One Day FREE Fantasy Contest – $350 in cash prizes

As you’ve probably noticed, we’ve been running a lot of promotions with DraftStreet where we offer free, daily fantasy baseball leagues for cash prizes. All of the contests to this point have been using their Salary Cap style of drafting. We’re running another free contest this week, which will award $350 in real cash prizes, and this time around the contest will use their Pick ‘Em draft style.

Their Pick ’em leagues are much quicker and simpler than the Salary Cap leagues. It takes literally 5 minutes to build a team. For these leagues, DraftStreet creates 8 tiers of players and each tier will have anywhere from 3 to 10 players in them. All you have to do is select 1 player from each tier. This game offers a balance of being able to create a unique team while not having to research every single player who has a game that night.

You can adjust your roster up until the contest starts on Friday June 22nd at 7:05 ET, at which time your rosters will lock and the Live Scoreboard will be available.

I’ll be playing under the name DavidPinto, so see if you can beat my eight!

Baseball Musings has been running promotions with DraftStreet.com since the start of the season. DraftStreet has really changed the way fantasy sports are played by replacing the traditional season-long style leagues with quick hitting, one-night and one-week leagues.

Now, with a user-base of over 150,000 players DraftStreet has decided to crown one champion of fantasy baseball with the DraftStreet Baseball Championship. This incredible promotion will award $200,000 over the next 2 months, with the champion winning $35k. There will be 40 finalists, which will be determined by 40 qualifying events. Ten of the qualifiers will be $11 to enter, ten will be $22 to enter, ten will be $55 to enter, and ten will be $109 to enter. Each qualifier will award at least $1,500 in additional cash prizes.

Once the field of 40 is set, there will be a 2-day event where each finalist chooses a different team each day and the top 12 finishers move on to a single-elimination tournament. As mentioned earlier, the winner of this tournament receives $35,000! So, one $11 entry can get you $35,000.

DraftStreet is so confident that you’ll love their site that they are giving us an incredible promotion. They’re providing us with a free league for Wednesday night where the top 15 finishers automatically get entered into the $11 DSBC qualifier for Friday, June 8th. If that wasn’t enough, they’ll be awarding an additional $100 in prizes to be distributed among the top 4 finishers. I’ll be competing, too. Look for the team named DavidPinto to see how I’m doing. I hope all of you destroy my team! Remember, you can use the Day by Day Database to do your research.

Each MLB player has been assigned a price based on their expected fantasy performance.

I’ll be playing against you. My team name is DavidPinto, and this week I went back to my original way of choosing, starting with the fielding end of the defensive spectrum and looking for value at shortstop, catcher, second base, and centerfield before moving to the corners. I also took particular care to try to select hitters facing weak pitching. That left me enough money to pick two very good starting pitchers.

You can adjust your roster up until the contest starts on Friday May 25th at 7:05 ET at which time your rosters will lock and the Live Scoreboard will be available.

Congratulations to CindyCrosby8 who won the DraftStreet Baseball Musings free roll. You can see the results here, and a lot of readers beat me. Cindy took a far of Joshes, Josh Hamilton and Josh Reddick, both of whom hit two home runs. Hope you win next time!

Look for the Baseball Musings team under the name DavidPinto on the leader boards. The team was easy to assemble, and I liked that players receive points for their entire lines, so stolen bases don’t overwhelm more meaningful stats. A four for four night with two home runs will beat a two for four night with two steals easily.

This week I’m trying to create a team that’s made up of hot hitters. The cold hitters team I assembled last time stayed cold. Maybe the hot hitters will stay hot. I’ll continue to try different scenarios as the season progresses.

Remember, the Day by Day Database provides plenty of tools to help in selecting your team. You can find the hot sluggers, check out batters against a pitcher, and even see how a starter performs in a particular park.
