Reveal my sources? I’m not sure…. Hmmm… okay!

During the baseball season and during the entire month of March, I spend perhaps 10 to 30 minutes a day looking at various baseball roto websites to get the latest news and updates. I know everyone has their own personal sources, but I’ve found five sources to be my favorites.

Although my latest copy of Baseball Prospectus will always be my roto Bible… I look to these websites as my primary sources for the latest information of who to pick up, who to start, who to sit, and who to let go…

1. Rotoworld: (http://www.rotoworld.com/Content/playernews.aspx?sport=MLB)
*Fast… reliable… and always updated.

2. Rototimes: (http://www.rototimes.com/mlb/index.php)
*Good blogs, good articles, and good writers who are close to the action.

3. USA Today Fantasy: (http://fantasybaseball.usatoday.com/content/homesport.asp?sport=MLB)
*Wide range of articles, works collaboratively with Rotoworld

4. Fanball: (http://www.fanball.com/bb/newsbreakers.cfm)
*Sometimes they beat Rotoworld to the punch with updates, but sometimes you may not get a new update for 8 hours. They have some pretty funny writers though.

5. Rotoauthority: (http://www.rotoauthority.com)
*They may not have new information every day, but their stuff is so insightful. Some of their writers really know how to crunch numbers and stats. Who knew what BABIP stood for? This has become my favorite site in recent years.
