Ask me about fantasy baseball
having 20 hours of free time a day isn't as fulfilling as i thought. so in the interest of killing that time, i'll field anything in the realm of:
- grade my draft/team - should i make this trade? - general strategy discussion - adjusting to weird league formats or whatever you want to come up with. |

Re: Ask me about fantasy baseball
Grade my team, 15 team league roto, normal stuff except 2 catchers and OBP rather than AVG.

Re: Ask me about fantasy baseball
What is the best draft strategy for the 2+2 keeper league (mbenhoe's). When should minor leaguers be drafted?

Re: Ask me about fantasy baseball
6x6 HU, Keeper league. Drafted last night. Scoring AVG, OBP, SB, R, RBI, HR - WHIP, ERA, W, S, SO, HD
The league added Holds this year, and OBP. I figured these categories would go neglected. So, I drafted offensive players much deeper into the draft as others picked up closers. In, turn, I tried to pick up as many top "hold" relievers to make up the difference. J Lopez A Pujols B Roberts M Ensberg R Furcal B.

Re: Ask me about fantasy baseball

Could you please break down how to assign a dollar value to players given the non-countable/average statistics involved in rotisserie leagues? [/ QUOTE ] getting exact dollar values requires you to know the relative values of each category in your league. for example, determining how many points in the standings, on average, 5 extra SB will get you vs. the same question for 15 RBI. this can vary wildly from league to league. if this is a keeper league and you have access to past years' standings, this can be very useful to determine the spread between teams. in a "typical" league, i've found that the numbers are roughly 3 BA points = 3 R = 1 HR = 3 RBI = 1 SB. in bigger leagues steals generally gain value. if you want to use this method, fine tune the numbers (for example, RBI are less common than R, and the value of BA is directly related to how many at bats the player gets). pitchers are trickier because the value of every stat fluctuates with how many innings he pitches. once you've turned your projections into a single number for each player, it's fairly straightforward to assign dollar values. take the top x players, where x is the number who will be drafted in your league, and assign them a total of y dollars, y = teams*salary cap. make sure the average player's (the mean player, not median) value is y/x. |
