The Tout Mixed flag, in a vigorous turn, goes to rookie Fred Zinkie!
The Tout AL title goes to three-time mixed champ Larry Schechter, in his first Tout AL appearance.

Well played, fellas! You’ll be receiving your SABR Trophies next March, at the 2012 Tout Wars draft.
Tim Heaney, of KFFL.com, shares the frantic, lamenting thoughts over his mixed Tout Wars squad…
Following a 4-for-31 offensive day, my Tout Wars mixed team needs a jolt as it remains in third place behind my colleague Nicholas Minnix and MLB.com’s Fred Zinkie.
I’m on my last legs. I brought in, from outside sports nonetheless, Dan Devine, Norman Dale, Eric Taylor, Herb Brooks and others to rile my guys up.
One day. One day until failure or success … regret or reward. Truly a game of inches. Continue reading “Tout Wars Mixed: Game of Inches”
Maybe this is punishment for having the bravado to attend a Pearl Jam concert in Vancouver on Sunday night, the eve of the biggest three days of my fantasy baseball life. Just as Eddie Vedder and Co. took the stage at the Pacific Coliseum, the Tout Wars FAAB deadline passed, and my competition for the whole shebang in the mixed league landed the pieces that they believed would carry them past me by the end of Wednesday.
Just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they won’t pass you.
I’ve been dangling from the first spot in the standings for a good portion of the last several weeks. I feel like a carrot, a brass ring, Ice-T in “Surviving the Game.”
WHIPed, stolen … saved? Continue reading “Tout Wars Mixed: An incredibly helpless feeling”
Tim Heaney, of KFFL.com, shares the frantic, lamenting thoughts over his mixed Tout Wars squad…
In my last Tout Wars mixed drop-in, I complained about being in third place. Today, I’m thanking it … well, as much as I possibly could with only a few days left in the season. Continue reading “Tout Wars mixed: Third place the charm?”
Nicholas Minnix of KFFL.com reports on the Tout Wars Mixed pennant race:
I hate Marco Scutaro.
I was ahead of Fred Zinkie in batting average by 0.004 points heading into the baseball regular season’s final full week of games. Marco Freakin’ Scutaro made my stomach turn at the very beginning of it when he collected six hits in eight at-bats in Monday’s twin bill between the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles.

Tim Heaney, of KFFL.com, shares the frantic, lamenting thoughts over his mixed Tout Wars squad…
9/19/11, 5:30 p.m. PT: My name is Tim Heaney. With 10 days to go, I sit in third place, behind my colleague Nicholas Minnix and MLB.com/FantasyBaseball.com’s Fred Zinkie, in 2011 Tout Wars mixed, a league in which I held the lead for a few long stretches.
I have $0 left in my Free Agency Acquisition Budget.
And I’m resting much of my title hopes on two of my newest acquisitions: Craig Gentry and Tony Campana.
Yup, Charlie Sheen would roast me over this. Continue reading “Tout Wars Mixed: What’s that they say about third place?”
Nick Minnix of KFFL.com reports on the Tout Wars Mixed pennant race:
There’s no better place to be than on top. In roto baseball, anyway. Unless you’re on top and you have a sinking feeling. It won’t take much for everything that my competition – Fred and Tim – needs to happen … to happen. I picked up five points this past week, not a bad time to do it, but I entered Monday sitting on the most precarious four-point lead you can imagine. I’m just hoping that each of these dudes is second-guessing himself (and experiencing an unsettled stomach) as much as I am. Continue reading “Tout MIXED, Minnix says: “No better place to be than on top…””
Fred Zinkie and Nando DiFino started talking trade in June. A month and a half and 200+ emails later, a deal was struck. Read all about this Tout Mixed epic on Fred’s blog.
