Fantasy Baseball

[Xx srs bsns xX]

That's kind of what I was wondering about. Is it best to get your big bats first and then look for pitchers with good run support to get wins?

I picked Bautista for a corner OF position and I think I screwed up by picking Berkman as I'm not convinced he can have another season like last year, but the OF was pretty well picked through.

My strategy is to get the "hard to duplicate" positions out of the way first...
In this case, whether Kershaw wins...or Holland wins... its still a W.
The Kershaw pick could have landed a better OF. IMO.

and its best to spread your picks out among the teams... having too many players from a certain team could be good and bad. GOOD if they are hot... but very bad if the team is slumping...

just a suggestions...and I didnt follow this so I hope I can change my name...should we all register our name the same as it is on here so we will know who is who?

you can change it whenever (even during the season)....

I registered for both leagues and I have to say that the yahoo league has an interesting scoring system for H2H...never played yahoo fantasy baseball..just ESPN

I can adjust the points / categories any time before the draft... so if you see something that might need tweaked... lemme know.

im in both.....i would suggest getting rid of the grand slams/no hitters in the roto; could be a bunch of ties with 0 and if some one gets lucky in the categories it could give them the win with a free 24/20 points

Do we have leagues already set up?

1. Joey Votto (Cin - 1B)
2. Josh Hamilton (Tex - OF)
3. Brandon Phillips (Cin - 2B)
4. Hunter Pence (Phi - OF)
5. James Shields (TB - SP)
6. Kevin Youkilis (Bos - 1B,3B)
7. Jimmy Rollins (Phi - SS)
8. Josh Beckett (Bos - SP)
9. Miguel Montero (Ari - C)
10. Melky Cabrera (SF - OF)
11. José Valverde (Det - RP)
12. Joe Nathan (Tex - RP)
13. Jeff Francoeur (KC - OF)
14. David Ortiz (Bos - Util)
15. Derek Holland (Tex - SP)
16. Adam Lind (Tor - 1B)
17. Trevor Cahill (Ari - SP)
18. Colby Lewis (Tex - SP)
19. Iván Nova (NYY - SP)
20. Mitch Moreland (Tex - 1B,OF)
21. Carlos Peña (TB - 1B)
22. Chipper Jones (Atl - 3B)
23. Ben Revere (Min - OF)

Was this better? I know I screwed up by taking Josh second, but my first OF'ers were already taken. Other than that I though I improved. Maybe.

What if I have class the night of the draft?

 

[bone3421]

its not horrible..........give not drafting a pitcher until the 6th pick a shot then take pitchers

with 7th and 8th then 10th and 12th.......so bat,bat,bat,bat,bat,pitcher,pitcher,pitcher,bat,pitcher,bat,pitcher.......

the draft isnt set in stone we can move it to have the most people we can attending

xx srs bsns xx.......im wondering if we should not play points since it will be 1st time for quite a few people and just do the standard h2h (you know just tally up the runs/rbi/sb for the week)

I've done about three mock drafts now and I think I'm getting the hang of it. I'm still having a hard time picking my utility players and it seems like I'm never completely happy with my middle IF positions. I'm usually thin at either 2b or ss if not both.

yeah thats why the top 2b/ss are all ranked in the top 25 or so
