Scott Slezak - RotoBaller

47 articles

I have attended games at all 30 Major League stadiums. I split time between New Jersey and Scottsdale, Arizona, the center of the baseball universe - Spring Training, Arizona Fall League and home to many MLB players past and present. When pitchers and catchers report, I report. Baseball love transcends to rotisserie, Strat-o-Matic and Scoresheet. Invent a platform for a baseball game, and I'll play it. A source of roto information emanating from Cactus League Spring Training and beyond.

Draft Prep: Daily Spring Training Fantasy Baseball Update 3/13

It's been a busy few days of baseball here in Arizona, as I've been going from ballpark to ballpark to check out as much spring action as possible.

Draft Prep: Daily Spring Training Fantasy Baseball Update 3/10

Philosophical question: if a routine fly ball lands untouched in the outfield, does it make a sound? Yoenis Cespedes: On Sunday in Phoenix, the answer is "yes," and the sound was from  the groans of Oakland A's fans watching Yoenis Cespedes struggle with the high desert sky. Cespedes had a game he'd like to forget against […]

Daily Fantasy Baseball Update: Cactus League 3/8

Yordano Ventura: I spent the day in Surprise, Arizona, driving about an hour in traffic for really one reason: I wanted to see the Royals' Yordano Ventura pitch.

Daily Fantasy Baseball Update: Cactus League 3/4

  Cactus League Update for March 4th It's been a while since I've chimed in on the goings-on in Arizona. Since I last wrote, I've been out to a ballgame each day, and I've had a nice conversation with Giants' bench coach Ron Wotus at the bar of a local seafood restaurant in Scottsdale. In […]
