We’re much closer to the 2009 fantasy baseball season than to the 2008 edition, but it’s still time to recognize the top writing efforts of the year past.

For starters, the list finalists for top magazine is a carbon copy of that from football, with CBS, Rotoworld and Rotowire vying for the honor. Among the 18 total finalists in the six baseball categories, just two come from outlets that launched in the 21st century — Eno Sarris of Baseballguys.com (best Web article) and Tommy Landry of RotoExperts.com (best series).

Otherwise you’ll see lots of representatives from the big boys of the industry, starting with the fantasy veterans that constitute the top writer category. RotoWire’s Jeff Erickson and ESPN’s Jason Grey are the only two writers up for more than one award in baseball, while Yahoo! boasts the only two analysts to have qualified in multiple sports. Scott Pianowski is up for writer of the year in baseball and hockey, and Andy Behrens could come away with top-writer honors in football and best print article in baseball.

The full list follows, with winners to be announced next Tuesday on the first day of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association winter conference.
