Top 10 tips to Win Baseball League
Top 10 tips that will help you win your Fantasy Baseball League this season. Follow these tips closely to enhance your chances to win your league championship.
- Be prepared for the draft. The league is often won or lost at the draft.
- Stay focused. It’s a long season and a lot of players will drop out. If you stay focused on the prize, you’ll have a shot.
- During the draft, track the positions your opponents have picked. Knowing this will give you a leg up on strategic picks in later rounds.
- Go with established players over potential stars. Everybody likes to brag about picking up that rookie, but often the hype is bigger than the stats.
- In the early rounds, pick the best available player, regardless of position.
- Draft stolen bases. A player can be dominant in stolen bases and stolen bases are clearly over-weighted in fantasy baseball. Think Jose Reyes.
- Draft closers. Make sure you have one more closer than your nearest competitor. Saves is an easy category to win and another over-weighted category in fantasy baseball.
- If a player has been traded since last year, re-adjust his stats based on the park he’ll be playing his home games in.
- Some leagues have minimal statistics to qualify at a particular position, sometimes as little as a single game. If that is your league’s rule, you have to look for opportunities like this and you may get the power numbers of an outfielder at a position that traditionally rewards defensive prowess.
- Generally, it’s not a good idea to pick a catcher in an early round. They sit out too often and usually don’t put up huge stats anyway.
