About Matthew »

I am a journalism student at Temple University. My favorite sports are MLB, NFL, and NCAA-BB. I am also a huge fan of all fantasy sports especially fantasy baseball. I love to play baseball and basketball whenever I have time. I hope to one day write sports or fantasy sports either online or for a newspaper.

I am currently writing articles on www.rotoinfo.com and have had articles published on Foxsports.com and Cbssports.com.

Thanks for taking the time to read my sleepers bit! I appreciate it.

Well, I see your point about Hightower, but by my definition stated in the article, I think he is a big time sleeper. If you look at the projected FF drafts, Hightower is not mentioned. Most of the buzz has been about Wells and I believe that sells him way short. While Wells has loads of potential, Hightower might outproduce him yet.

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:

Matt, I believe you're right about numbers and stat lines. I was referring to when you're just talking numbers. Does that make sense? Keep it up.

Hey Matthew,

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

Thanks in advance!
