Fantasy baseball is wonderful. In my opinion, it’s better than fantasy football because of the extra strategy involved. Winning your league is probably a passion, just like it is for me. In this article, we’ll look at specific tips and strategies that will help you win your league and take home the championship.
Think about the value of your eraser
Your eraser is the most important piece of the puzzle. You have to do your homework and know your strategy heading into the draft. The most important thing you can do is think about value and write accordingly. What I mean by this is that most people will simply select based on preseason rankings and work their way down the list, taking the next best available. You need to separate players into levels and understand when you can wait to select a certain position and when you can’t. You want to recruit as many players as you can at higher levels.
Throw vs Offense
Get a sense of the direction most players in your league will be heading ahead of the draft. Usually, based on my own experience, most players emphasize offense. As such, I like to be typically non-conformist and move in the opposite direction. By starting the run on pitchers, you can sometimes create a run where players will follow your lead and catch pitchers, leaving you with a solid offense. This can really work in your favor and you can grab some of the best shooters and offensive players, leaving you with a very balanced roster.
closers
Understand that there is a ton of rotation at the closest position. Don’t overpay for savings. Instead, focus on closers who have a low WHIP and ERA, as those stats tend to stay more consistent year after year.
Do these things and you can dominate your draft and dominate your league. After the draft, check your league and waiver cable. If he can make 1 or 2 solid moves mid-season, be it picks or trades, he can definitely win his league. Go find them!
