The Fantasy 411 is an internet radio show hosted by Mike Siano and Cory Schwartz. Each year they compete with listeners in the coveted “fantasy 411 listener league”. The Fantasy 411 radio show on MLB sponsors 5 leagues but the hosts only play in one, the 411 league.
I’m happy to announce that on Thursday the 10th of January’s Fantasy 411 radio show, Mike Siano announced I would fill the vacant spot left by Stray in the 411 league.
I’ve wanted to Play in the Fantasy 411’s Fantasy baseball League since I found the 411 years ago, to be able to pit yourself against the pro’s, we all share that dream don’t we?
I will be drafting using the Fantasy Baseball Mafia top 420 rankings for the 2008 season. Luke in Nova Scotia is our Director of stat based research and assures me that he will send me in to battle with updated rankings and all the tools I need to win my draft; the same tools we will be offering to you, our members.
If it’s good enough to put the Fantasy baseball Mafia name on, then it’s a set of rankings I’m willing to go to battle with.
Follow along all season as I update you on the progress of our Fantasy Baseball Mafia team in the Fantasy 411 League. I hope to bring you news of our dominance, including trades of interest, smack and the complete fantasy 411 draft.
Stay tunes as the Godfather goes to war…

Hey Guys,
Quick update from the Godfather,
MLB has started its Top 50 Prospect List , check it out! Speaking of MLB prospects, I don’t think Bob (the Senior Editor) will be mad if I go ahead and fill you in on one thing we plan to bring you this season. Full Minor league coverage from our own Mafia expert. Look for more info to come.
I also wanted to show you this very interesting link — according to Sports Illustrated’s Tom Verducci My Reds have the best chance for a turnaround in 2008.
1. Cincinnati Reds. The Reds weren’t quite as bad as their 72-90 record indicated and they hired a veteran manager who fits the turnaround profile: Baker. Cincinnati was outscored by 70 runs last year, but the eighth inning alone accounted for 53 of those runs. (The Reds allowed more runs in the eighth, 123, than any other inning.) The signing of closer Francisco Cordero, while an extravagant one (the most expensive free agent in franchise history at four years, $46 million), at least on paper, improves Cincinnati’s eighth-inning chances, with David Weathers and Jared Burtonsetting up Cordero.
The 2007 Reds had the worst bullpen in the NL (5.13 ERA). If they can improve the bullpen the way the 2007 Indians did, the 2008 Reds — especially if young hitters Jay Bruce and Joey Votto contribute — could be a playoff team.
Ken Watkins has agreed to come aboard as the Editor and were happy to announce that our buddy Pete from the old Fantasy Sports Junkies.com site is coming aboard to help us spin all things Fantasy.
You will find our Grand Jury to be insightfull, revealing and most importantly topical and updated often. I recommend bookmarking this page as as one of your many Fantasy Tools.
Enjoy,
The Godfather
