Fantasy Baseball Time

So this is my second year participating in the world of Fantasy Baseball. Last year I was a rookie playing against guys who have been playing even before the Internet was invented. As you can imaging I was a little intimidated but I decided to go ahead with it anyway and try to do my best not to finish in last place. Even though I didn't know what I was doing I had an excellent draft and managed to have a good season with very few trades throughout the year. I managed to finish in the money with a (4th) place finish. Wow! I expect similar results now that I somewhat know what I'm doing.

This is the team that put a few extra bucks in my pocket last year. Some of them have been cut and since I play in a NL only league other have been traded to the AL so my team will look completely different for 2006. I still have to keep a minimum of (4) and a max of (7). Will keep you updated as draft day is fast approaching. I have no doubt I'll be able to assemble another winning team.

Did you go into your draft with any strategy beyond getting the best player availalable? It's always interesting to hear the different strategies people use to put together their fantasy teams.

Jake - Thanks for the question. Since this is only my second draft and I think the first time I did it I was just tryingt to keep up and not do something stupid like call out a player when it was my turn who wasn't in the league anymore. Luckily I've done my homework this year so I plan on going after a few sleepers and save money so I can bid good money on (3) or (4) studs. I'm going to try to draft everyday players with the most At-Bats. We'll see hgow it goes.


I decided to freeze (4) players;

Mike Jacobs C FL

Jeff Kent 2B LA

Chad Tracy 3B ARZ

Andy Pettitte SP HOU

What does your team look like.
