==The Fantasy 411==

The Fantasy 411 is an [[MLB]] [[radio]] [[broadcast]] on MLB.com. The hosts are primarily Mike Siano and Cory Schwartz, with occasional contributions from Vinny Micucci and Jeffrey Ma from [[Protrade]]. The show airs Monday through Friday during the MLB [[season]]. The show's main focus is [[fantasy baseball]], although listeners often like to tell [[Chuck Norris Facts]]. Mike and Cory answer [[fans]] questions through [[telephone call|calls]], [[e-mails]] or [[instant messages]]. (contracted; show full)

===Mike Siano===

Siano is the host who believes more in veteran players with proven peformance.  Siano is most recognized on the show for his quote "As frustrating and aggrevating as chasing [[save (sport)|saves]] is, you have to admit, is kind of fun" which is played in the shows opening everyday.  Siano's signature fantasy play is to avoid oft-injured pitchers, such as [[Mark Prior]], [[AJ Burnett]], [[Ben Sheets]], [[Rich Harden]] and [[Kerry Wood]], citing that these pitchers 
cause more [[headaches]] than they are worth.are "your problem, not mine."  Some of Siano's favorite players are [[Derek Jeter]], [[Mariano Rivera]], [[Jon Garland]], [[Justin Verlander]] and [[Miguel Tejada]].

==The Fantasy 411 Philosophy==
(contracted; show full)rence to keeper or [[dynasty]] leagues, Siano and Schwartz always recommend to try and win in the present if possible.  Often listeners are too concerned with the future and with their keeper lists when competing in keeper leagues, but Siano and Schwartz always remind the audience that winning championships is the ultimate goal because "[[pennant|flags]] fly forever."
