If you're a fantasy football freak like I am, you're already gearing up for the season, running mock drafts like it's your job, and analyzing ADP's and potential stats in order to build the perfect team. This article might help, and your thoughts would be greatly appreciated whether it does or doesn't, lol. Check it out though:

Hey J Ellet,

I wrote a piece in May highlighting the position players that I thought should make the all star team. I started a 2-part follow up piece today focusing on starting pitchers. I started with AL. If you get the chance, I'd appreciate it if you took a look at it. Thanks
