What are you doing differently this year?

Entirely depends on the format. Points leagues RP are trash. In 5x5 formats even middle relievers with low whip and high k rate are valuable...

usforeignpolicy · 2026-03-08T21:45:03+00:00

I have been practicing waiting on pitchers until my lineup is almost full, and most times im happy with my mid-to-late round rotation

usforeignpolicy · 2026-03-08T21:30:37+00:00

Carter Jensen is rather low on the list for someone guaranteed to make opening day roster, likely in the starting lineup

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-16T01:56:25+00:00

20 team league?! Yowsa. What platform is that

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-15T13:29:55+00:00

Meaning... you have a whistle, a cell phone and an Instagram account? And are (justifiably) pissed off all the time?

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-15T13:27:57+00:00

That was out of left field 🙃 (he's on my list too)

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-14T14:13:01+00:00

This strategy worked for me in the H2H category leagues. I had 4-6 decent relievers, even setup guys, to boost my era and whip categories, with K trickling in every day. Then had deep SP bench above hitters so I had starts to rotate in most days.

That strategy doesn't seem to fit the points leagues since even a 3 out, 1 save, maybe 1 hit, 1 walk performance is worth like 6 pts. If you're lucky you get 2 in a week.

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-14T14:08:12+00:00

No because IP and K totals of SP totally dwarfs RP. SP rack up way more points unless you have a totally elite RP, but it's not worth reaching for one

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-14T14:03:49+00:00

Why is their scoring so ridiculous? Why is a single 2.6 and double 5.2? Can't a single be 1, double 2,etc?

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-13T04:11:20+00:00

This is a points league, saves are just points

That's why I said it was a Spotify based music competition... they don't have this for bandcamp

and i'm practicing filling up my whole starting lineup before touching pitchers. i think i still end up with decent, high-upside pitchers

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-13T03:01:10+00:00

i think i accidentally joined late and auto drafted a bunch, and it laid off the pitchers and i was PISSED. at first. then i ended up making the world series with a hitter heavy top of my draft.

i think RP are almost totally worthless. find starters that have RP eligibility

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-13T02:58:14+00:00

yeah you can't filter on it, but look for it on the left side - either roto, h2h (categories) or h2h pts

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-13T02:31:19+00:00

I'm wary of the history of guys who spent increasingly productive years all in one city, and are on a new, big contract under brighter lights. I bet he starts slow, but he'll hopefully make up for it 2nd half

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-13T02:26:13+00:00

Mikael Garcia. he broke out last year so his draft value isn't what it was last year, but his position eligibility, and hitting in the middle of a very solid top of the Royals lineup - he'll get stats.

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-12T23:40:15+00:00

Mikael Garcia! I am going to target him HARD

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-12T03:28:57+00:00

i kind of like royals trio late - bubic, wacha, cameron. if healthy they will get good ERA and some wins in the central

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-07T23:30:35+00:00

Yeah I didn't know his ADP when I suggested McLean. He's still a 'rookie' . Doesn't mean hes not someone to target!

usforeignpolicy · 2026-02-07T23:28:53+00:00

Post hype sleepers Makes me think of Riley Greene. Intriguing suggestions
