Fantasy Baseball Tips
1. The only way to win at Fantasy Baseball
is to PAY ATTENTION. Most champions check their team when ever games
are played with rare exception. If you like baseball, you probably
check anyway. Five minutes a day will keep the last place far away.
This is the only way to keep up to date on Fantasy Baseball injuries,
trades and other team moves. Fantasy Baseball Champs are the ones
who last till the end and keep scouting, trading, and maximizing
their scoring potential. As they say, Fantasy Baseball is a marathon,
not a sprint.
2. Going hand in hand with paying attention
to your Fantasy Baseball team is maximizing your starts. At the
end of the season have you used all your innings? Have you used
most of your position starts? If you haven’t you, have left
points on the table. As they say, Fantasy Baseball is a marathon,
not a sprint. It's the last weeks that determine the winner.
3. The Fantasy Baseball Draft. Most players base their entire season
on the Fantasy Baseball Draft. Your team does not live and die with
the draft, but of course it is important. When conducting your Fantasy
Baseball Draft the best advice is to play it safe. Don’t try
to out smart yourself, draft a balance of pitching and offense.
Look at positions that are thin, like 2B for example, and make sure
you get yours. Draft a “sure thing” veteran starting
pitcher. Draft a veteran big bat. After that, use player rankings
early in the draft to guide you in your Fantasy Baseball Draft.
Save gambles for middle and late rounds. Go into the draft with
a small draft plan and some sleepers. Then throw away your plan.
The most important thing during the draft is to ADAPT! Notice what
positions are and are not being drafted. Can you hold off on drafting
your first basemen because everyone has already drafted one? Was
there a run on starting pitchers? You better get one, even if it
is a slightly over-priced player. Go with the flow of the draft
and you will do better than sticking to a plan. If you are new to
drafting and your league offers an auto-draft option, use it. This
will give you a safely drafted team. One last tip for the draft
may be the most important. Draft closers. They are finite. In other
words, there are 30 closers day one and 30 closers on the last day
of the season. In most Fantasy Baseball leagues closers are valuable
and can’t really be replaced.
4. More important than the draft is the free agent frenzy that
occurs during the baseball season. Assuming that your draft was
not a throw away, any team can be rebuilt through free agency. Every
year major stars arise. Adrian Beltre, Albert Pujols, Eric Gagne
and Johan Santana, just to name a few over the years where generally
undrafted free agents in Fantasy Baseball. This goes right with
rule one, pay attention. Using a scouting service is a great way
to help in this crucial are of Fantasy Baseball. This is the function
of Pro Fantasy Baseball.
5. Trading in Fantasy Baseball. Not a must to win, but if you are
a successful free agent scout, you need to try to trade. You will
be able to replace many drafted starters with free agents. The old
2 very good players for one great player is the best way to improve
your team. You improve a position and open a roster spot for another
free agent acquisition. Opening roster spots is one of the most
important things you can do to help your Fantasy Baseball scouting.
Do your best not to trade any of your "Studs". Trade early
when nobody really objects to trades.
6. Check your leagues point system before the draft and occasionally
during the season. Obvious, but often ignored. Notice during the
season which categories seem to be manufacturing a lot of points.
If you see a point strength in the some category make moves for
players who excel at that category. You will be surprised how you
can stop a weakness on your team and turn it into a strength in
the league. Some leagues, like Yahoo Fantasy Baseball, have a STANDINGS
scoring summary. Use this to analyze strengths and weakness of categories
during the season.
