To steal a baseball term, we come to bat with Ducks on the Pond. We have a number of posts queued up around MLB Fantasy Drafts as the CubicleGM team have all completed their drafts at this point. We also have some posts to get everyone ready for the season to start, as we are under 3 weeks away.
Our hope is to keep these posts more general, applicable to the majority of fantasy leagues. However, it is necessary to at least provide some background on the league where these observations and thoughts came from.
CubicleGM plays in a 10 team keeper league. Each team must keep 5 players, at the expense of their first 5 picks in the next draft – teams keep their best five guys for the most part. Players can be kept for an unlimited number of seasons. Scoring is a weekly head-to-head points league, that uses standard points scoring, with the exception that strikeouts count as -.5, rather than -1 for hitters. The only other thing to note is that before this season, the league used head-to-head 5×5 scoring. As a result of this change keep an eye out for a post about the differences between points and 5×5 leagues, and how that must be incorporated into rankings and draft strategy.
Hopefully what we found will help you as you prepare for your leagues.
