Fantasy 411
==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)y in fantasy drafts, such as [[Jake Peavy]], [[Andy Pettitte]], [[Mark Buehrle]] and [[Randy Johnson]] have performed poorly, and others, such as [[Mark Prior]], [[Rich Harden]] and [[Ben Sheets]] have succumbed to injury.  Some Fantasy 411 favorites for 2006 are [[Brandon Webb]], [[Danny Haren]], [[Jeremy Bonderman]] and [[John Lackey]], all of whom are enjoying great success in 2006 and were taken much later in most fantasy drafts than more recognized, less successful stars.

==Strategies and Sayings==


Mike and CorySchwartz and Siano use many original strategies and sayings in their show as part of the Fantasy 411 Philosophy.

===List of 12===  
A list of [[pitchers]] that Schwartz comes up with at the start of the season, with the theory being that once pitchers reach a certain level of experience, usually around 500 [[innings]] pitched, they tend to improve significantly.  This year's list included [[Brandon Webb]], [[Jeremy Bonderman]], [[Aaron Harang,]] and [[Bronson Arroyo]].

===Hitters Hit=== 
(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."
