Gary Gygax and Spring Training TV Schedule
Wednesday, March 5, 2008by Geoff Young
Gary Gygax died on Tuesday. Along with Bill James and the folks who created Intellivision, Gygax was an unwitting participant in my misspent youth. He probably also helped me survive said youth, but that's another story.
Seriously, we had plenty of ways to waste time before this here Internet thing. My humblest thanks to Mr. Gygax for helping me realize that.

Operation Center Field: Acquiring Targets
Wednesday, November 14, 2007by Geoff Young
Now that we've identified potential trade targets, let's move to the next logical step and consider what it might cost to acquire said targets. This exercise consists in determining a) what your partner needs and b) what you (i.e., the Padres) have to offer.
The order of these two, as I've learned over many years of playing fantasy baseball, is crucial. If you don't have a strong grasp of your partner's needs, and you base your offers solely on what you're willing to give up, you'll get nowhere fast because, well, that's just the way life works. By and large, people act in their own best interest. Provide them with goods or services that serve that interest, and then you're onto something.
