One of the things we pride ourselves on here at Fantasy Alarm is our ability to deliver some of the greatest tools in the industry to help you succeed in your fantasy leagues. Whether you’re talking about accessible data, the DFS Playbook, the hitting and pitching coaches, the lineup generator or our featured articles for waivers, trade market, managerial analysis, etc., we’ve got everything you could possibly need. Fantasy success is right here at your fingertips and always just a mouse-click away.

Well, maybe there was one more thing we could do for you…

As you’ve likely heard through social media, we’ve added another weapon to our arsenal in an effort to help you win the battle against your league-mates – instant access to a real-life General Manager! That’s right! Jim Bowden, former GM of the Reds and Nationals is joining the team and you’re going to be able to bounce all of your questions off him. Imagine being able to get a player evaluation from a man who has dedicated his life to winning in sports? How about being able to discuss trade negotiation tactics? That’s going to be huge at this time of the year.

While this column usually focuses on baseball, I thought Jim’s assessment of the move was spot on: think of it like Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors. The team was already a proven, championship-winning organization and now it is the ultimate super-team, the likes of which every other team now has to try and measure up against. Without sounding too bragadocious, I see plenty more championships headed Fantasy Alarm’s way. Headed YOUR way, actually, as each and every one of you – every member of #FANation – is very much a part of this team.

Jim will be joining me each day for the Fantasy Alarm show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio where we will continue to deliver the finest content to help you win your leagues. We’re also going to have a shitload of fun. If you haven’t heard Jim on the morning SXM Fantasy Baseball show, then you’re in for a real treat in the afternoons as he also subscribes to the same belief as I do in that, while a championship is your primary goal, this is still a game and games are supposed to be fun. If you’re not enjoying yourself, whether it’s playing in a fantasy league or listening to the radio, then what the heck are you doing it for?

Even better is that this is for more than just baseball. Jim isn’t some one-trick pony like Billy Hamilton stealing bases. I’d say he’s more like Mike Trout, contributing in all categories, but even that doesn’t do it justice. He’s more like Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson rolled up into one. The guy does it all across the world of sports. If you’re not familiar with Jim’s background, let me tell you – baseball, football, basketball and even hockey. He wins at everything and he’s prepared to help you do the same.

I’d say it’s time to dominate, but we’re already doing that.

It’s time to step on your opponent’s throats and crush them for good.
