Espn Baseball Fantasy Draft Rankings
Author: Baseball Bob
Please help: Who has the best (and most up to date) Fantasy Baseball Draft rankings?
My baseball draft is tonight and i need MAJOR help. I haven’t been following the year so far and I’ve never done a live draft before for Baseball (but i have for Football).
Who’s pre-rankings should I use? Yahoo? ESPN? another site? Yours?
Give me any tips in what positions to draft first, thanks!
You need some cheat sheets,and a strategy.
If you are in a 5×5 league,focus on building a team that is strong (to dominant) in 6 categories..Do not try to be good in every category.
(This will spread your team out too thin.)
STACK your team with heavy hitters+leadoff hitters if you want to be strong in RUNS,RBIs,and HOMERS; as I did..Then I focused on WINS,
Ks,and saves for my pitching staff..So I took 4 closers,and 7 high K (strikeout) pitchers on decent offensive teams.But first take care of your offense..And I suggest taking in no particular order a 1st,2nd,and 3rd baseman,one shortstop,and one or 2 outfielders in your first 5-6 rounds..There will be plenty of pitchers,closers,utility (any position slots),catchers,and outfielders (But you want 1,or 2 TOP TIER outfielders earlier.) after the 6th round.
Some quick cheat sheets would be to enlarge your predraft player rankings to the max. allowable players drafted,then print it,divide the players in groups of how many teams are in your league (to represent rounds),then circle a few players in each round you want..Then compare your leagues’ rankings to this sites’ rankings–

(I’d print this,and break them down into rounds also.)
