Playing in a fantasy baseball league for the first time and wondering what is best way to draft,I'm the 1 st pick with 12 teams.Just curious as to when do you start picking pitchers?Any feedback is appreciated
Any advice for me
- Thread starter eeeerock
- Start date
are you roto or h2h...?
im playing one league this yr..10 teamer h2h
im aiming to pick as many as the top 20 sp I can get the first 5-6 rds...depends on what the other teams do, but Im sticking with that strategy if Im not having to reach..just feel the more horses you have during the season in a h2h league, the more competitive you will be...plus positions like c, 1b, 2b, OF are deep..lots of value w/ position players in the later rds
roto is a different animal, generally need a much more balanced team---for me I prefer h2h for the simple fact you get a do over every week, but obviously requires bit more luck--

It makes a big difference how to draft depending on what type of league you are in.
If points are awarded more for pitching stats than pure offensive stats by position players, loaded up on pitching, especially leagues where WHIP is important as well as wins for pitchers.
If heavy points on offensive categories, such as rbi's, hr's, stolen bases, loaded up on offensive production folks. Don't get caught up on first year phenoms such as Corbin (AZ) Puig (LAD), etc., second year success is a crap shoot in roto numbers for those type of players, also look at players who signed huge $$$ contracts in off-season, stats tend to go in the tank the season after, such as Hamels, Pujols, Verlander, Fielder.

I've won 3 H2H leagues in cbs in past 10 years using that method, also I used auto drafts, not live drafts in all 10 years.
Live draft leagues I've been in, I've won 7 of past 10 years all with 10-12 teams, with using both AL/NL players.
Take into consideration your rules first for your league, then go accordingly!!
