      Everyday check RJ multiple times.

      Everyday check rotoworld and CBS.

      Look at baseball rags to begin to re-memorize players and general stats.

      Check interesting articles at various sites in free time.

        I hit baseballthinkfactory.org as well as here and HQ

        the former doesn't have fantasy-related stuff, but lots of comments by really smart, but obviously socially inept people - so there's that!

          Here, Rotoworld, and a Phillies board I frequent. I try not to make it more complicated than that.

          ETA: And MLBdepthcharts.com when I'm first starting to do research, but that phase has passed.

            several times per day: RJ, rotoworld, twitter (including the MLBDepthChart feed which is a great source for transactions ... amongst others of course); every few days there's an updated blog post by the Jays beat writer that I read religiously too; occassionaly scan other team's beat writers blogs as well (Geoff Baker for Seattle, Susan Slusser for Oakland, etc)
            It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                Multiple times a day:
                Twitter
                MLBTradeRumors

                Every morning:
                Baseball Prospectus

                Every few days:
                FanGraphs
                BaseballThinkFactory newsblog
                TangoTiger.com

                Regularly (how often varies based upon how busy I am):
                Houston Chronicle
                Crawfish Boxes
                Astros County
                other Astros sites

                I'm also hitting sites like Baseball America or Minor League Ball pretty regularly, but that's usually based on links from somewhere else as opposed to perusing the sites themselves.

                  JC, Rotoworld's really not in your daily routine?

                  Mine:

                  Multiple Times Daily:
                  Rotoworld (hourly/constantly)
                  RJ (hourly/constantly)
                  Razzball
                  Fantasy Cafe
                  Rotoworld Forums, couple times a week right now, but daily once the season starts, primarily for the closer thread.
                  CBS
                  MLB Trade Rumors
                  River Ave. Blues (Yankee Blog)

                  Regularly, but not daily:
                  Fangraphs/Rotographs
                  Fantasy Rundown, and then wherever that takes me.
                  MLB Depthcharts
                  MLB.com
                  LoHud (Yankee Blog)
                  Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.

                  Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.

                  The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.

                  Some people are like Slinkies, they are not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

                      Not if I'm at work or traveling or somewhere where I have regular access to my twitter feed.

                          RJ a couple times a day
                          BP in morning with coffee, and at night to see if I missed a chat (My 1 splurge, well worth the fee)
                          Rotoworld maybe once a day
                          Once in a while Razzball, which has a sense of humor about itself and minorleagueball.

                          During season, CBS Sportsline site to check on my team all the time. Some days I have the live scoring just running, and I am playing with possible trades and going over fa's and other rosters quite often..
