If you haven't heard the story of how I became a Rotohogaholic than turn off the tv, sit back in your captains desk chair and enjoy this little journey with me.

In January of 2007 I was contacted by the creator of RotoHog, Mr. David Wu, about a new and interesting Fantasy Baseball game he called RotoHog. He promised me that it was unlike any other Fantasy game out there and I should give it a shot. At the time I was thinking to myself, “This dude is crazy. A game where you mix money and players, and have to keep up every day with roster changes, it'll never work.”

After two days of playing with the interface, looking into different strategies, I was hooked.

At the same time I was looking into RotoHog, I was preparing myself for my upcoming traditional Fantasy Baseball leagues. Back then, I was running FantasyBaseballGuy.com, a site that gave readers a look into how I was successfully running my Fantasy Baseball teams. As I prepared for my traditional league draft I really began to notice how different each league/game really was.

In my traditional 5x5 league, I was comfortable with the rules, new my overall strategy going into the draft, and had confidence in the players I was going to select.

On the other hand, RotoHog was so new to me, I found myself spending hours upon hours doing research while trying to put the best team together. My nights and weekends prior to the season were consumed by RotoHog.

My traditional league draft went well. I went into the draft with a plan, and executed the plan successfully. I selected the players I had targeted, which to me, in a traditional league draft if you can do that you know you'll be successful for that season. That is until the injuries slam you.

You start to scramble trying to figure out how you're going to fix your team. Other owners in the league know your stuck now because your 1st, 3rd and 5th round picks are on the shelf. What do you do now?

Well, you can try to patch your team with band aides from the waiver wire, but for the most part you can kiss your season good-bye.

Whala!!! The answer to having a season throughout a season was RotoHog's Fantasy Baseball.

This past weekend I was covering the Yankees and Orioles series while in Baltimore when Alex Rodriguez came up lame. Now, in most traditional Fantasy Baseball leagues, A-Rod probably went #1 overall. Do you think that owner was sweating it when he/she saw that? Ummm, YA I think so!!!

RotoHog though allows you to continue your season because you don't have to hold onto A-Rod the gimp anymore. You can cash him in and pick up the hot hitting Chase Utley for instance and your season is saved.

See at RotoHog your season never stops. You have the ability to continue even when your star players go down. I like to think of it as a season within a season. Why you may be asking? There are so many chances to win prizes that even if you have a bad week or month, you can always look forward to the next. Your season is never over.

So as the owner who selected A-Rod #1 overall in his/her draft is now cuddled up in the corner in the fetal position crying as they see their season slip potential away at the end of April, you, the RotoHog owner still have a chance to get yourself into the money.

David Wu's concept is awesome!!! Over the next year or so as the great developers, customer service and management folks at RotoHog build on the game we've all come to love and respect, we'll have the privilege of saying we've been RotoHogaholics since the beginning.

If you get a chance e-mail customer service and thank them for allowing you to continue your season even when your star players go down. Remember it could be worse, you could be the owner, if you're not already, who potentially has lost A-Rod, Jimmy Rollins or Alfonso Soriano.

So from me to RotoHog, thank you for allowing me to continue my season, because in three of my “Expert” leagues I've lost A-Rod, Jimmy Rollins and Alfonso Soriano.
