Tout Wars Rocks. And Goes to the Movies.

Lawr Michaels and Justin Mason host the Tout Wars Hour on the FNTSY Sports Net each week. And each week Lawr, who runs Creativesports.com, asks the week’s guest, usually a Tout Wars member, about his favorite pop culture picks, including movies, music and TV.

Tim McCullough today takes a look at those picks, and finds that there is no shared aesthetic among the Touts. Take a look here.

Enjoy this Eno Sarris pick while reading:

Fantasy Postseason for Charity Race

The website Fantasy Postseason is running a fun contest for charity during the playoffs and World Series, and a bunch of Tout Wars players are involved. One, Steve Gardner, is in the lead. You can read the details here, but the bottom line is that Fantasy Postseason is donating $1500 in the winner’s name for hurricane relief efforts.

If you would like to give to the Salvation Army – please give directly through their website.

The leaders are Steve Gardner, Jared Wilk, Paul Shapiro, Rick Wolf and Adam Ronis. Here’s the Top 10:

Tout Wars 2017: What Happened?

Mixed Auction: Jeff Zimmerman (winner) | Ray Flowers

AL: Mike Podhorzer (winner)

NL: Mike Gianella (this is behind the BP paywall as I post, but that should be lifted later today)

The Week In Transaction Analysis: 7/18/17

I didn’t write a piece this week for the Mastersball H2H transaction roundup, because there were only two purchases, but Todd Zola and his band of merry men take a look at all five Tout leagues. Read it here.

Mike Gianella made a big splash for Jose Quintana in Tout Wars NL, and has so far lived to tell about it and other transactions this week. Read his article here.

The June 5 Tout Wars FAAB Reports Links!

Todd Zola and his merry band weigh in on this week’s pickups in all the Tout Wars leagues. Be forewarned, one goofball thought picking up Dinelson Lamet and Adam Wainwright were good ideas. As the Pink Panther once said, The Goofball? C’est moi!

Mike Gianella’s Expert League FAAB Roundup is a weekly gem. Good analysis, goodly humor, an excellent analysis of Eric Young Jr. this week, with historical context. Plus details about a man named Cactus, and another man named Anthony. This week is a particularly good one. Even if you didn’t care for baseball you might enjoy it. Though, probably not.

 

The May 22 FAAB Reports for Tout Wars!

Todd  Zola and the merry lads at Mastersball have the words and numbers for all the leagues and let us know what happened this week. Check it out here.

Mike Gianella’s NL and LABR reports are always full of wisdom and wit. This week’s is here.

May 15, 2017 FAAB Reports

Mastersball weighs in with reports on all five leagues, with a complete record of bids and wisdom from Todd Zola and his crew.

Mike Gianella talks about Tout NL’s moves this week, plus comments about LABR Mixed (with some Tout info as well) and LABR AL.
