One of the best things about the beginning of a specific sport season is the ability to play fantasy sports Babe Herman White Jersey with your family, friends, or even strangers. Growing up, I used to draft so many teams that I never kept up with any of them. This year, I realized that is unfair to others so I did not make that mistake. I joined four leagues and had the ability to keep up with them, certifying my full first season in fantasy baseball.
It has been a fun experience. While the seasons are not quite done yet, I have ranked respectably in all of them and will make playoffs in all of the head to head leagues I am in.
Something I got from this experience, however, is noticing that most fantasy baseball players focus on building their lineups through power. Nothing wrong with this strategy other than the http://www.authenticangelsshop.com/authentic-6-david-freese-jersey.html competition for the power hitters may be saturated in your league. Power hitters produce the home runs, runs batted in, and likely strong numbers in the runs department.
What I did not see was players attempting to build a lineup through speed. I am sure it has been done and would love to know the results from players who have done this, but the idea is to build a lineup through leadoff hitters instead of pure sluggers. This strategy would replace the effectiveness of the home runs and runs batted in categories with stolen bases and runs. The strong numbers from runs would be replaced with a strong batting average from the leadoff hitters. The key here would be to have at least a little power in your lineup, primarily from the first baseman and catcher positions Brian Wilson Womens Jersey because of the inability to find a leadoff man at these positions.
Ideally, one would attempt to draft an Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, or a Miguel Cabrera Grand Sport Auto Inc in Skippack, Pennsylvania 19474 - 610-584-6800 - :: Auto :: Auto Repair Shops type first baseman with his or her first pick. This person would draft a catcher with a high batting average or someone similar to Yadier Molina who will at least maintain the batting average stats. They could also draft a catcher based on his position in the lineup. Bengie Molina would be a perfect example of this as he was batting toward the cleanup position at the beginning of the year.
The major advantage to this is that most opponents would not be using this strategy, so there would not be the saturation that there is for drafting hitters with pure power numbers. It is important to not just draft players based on stolen bases, however. Some of them bat toward the bottom of the lineup (ie. Jason Bartlett), and those run production http://www.authenticangelsshop.com/authentic-2-erick-aybar-jersey.html numbers that you are relying on will not be sufficient with someone batting in that part of the line up.
This article is ust an idea for those that enjoy fantasy baseball, and I would enjoy hearing from anyone who has used this approach or anything similar to it and how that person fared. Good luck in your fantasy sports game and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
