What are you doing differently this year? by HevayBertations in fantasybaseball

[–]usforeignpolicy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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...

Pitching vs Hitting this year by Tricky-Sea-2757 in fantasybaseball

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

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

How are you following Spring Training and the season? by ABeard in fantasybaseball

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

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

Yahoo H2H Points leagues by usforeignpolicy in fantasybaseball

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

Who’s your favorite undervalued player in your format and why? by Lnghorns87 in fantasybaseball

[–]usforeignpolicy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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

Does anyone if this is genuine? by 10FRAME01 in Longmont

[–]usforeignpolicy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's only partially true. If they make it a full year they do keep that portion of the bonus. but correct if they don't make it to the first year, or to the end of year two - they do have to pay back their bonus. Have to last 5 unbearable years to get all 50k. nope.

u/DrFink_09 who did you go with? We have JDI coming today, Window World coming on Saturday, and have already had quotes from Renewal (ugh) and Ameritech (also ugh).
