As we dive deeper into the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, I can't help but reflect on the unique challenges and strategies that come with drafting in a shallow mixed league. Laura Holt's recent draft recap has sparked some intriguing thoughts about roster construction and the balance between upside and stability.
One of the most compelling aspects of her team is the decision to forego top closers in favor of a more diverse pitching strategy. This raises the question: is it better to chase saves early in the draft, or can you find value later on? With the ever-changing landscape of bullpens, how do you approach drafting relief pitchers?
Additionally, Laura's infield choices have me pondering the age-old debate of drafting for floor versus ceiling. With veterans like Altuve and Olson on the roster, is she playing it too safe? Or could this strategy pay off in a league where free agency is a viable option?
And let's talk about the third-round SP pick. Was it a smart move to grab a potential ace early, or should she have waited to capitalize on the depth available in the free agent pool?
Lastly, how do you feel about the current state of catchers in fantasy? With Kirk on the roster, is there hope for a bounce-back season, or should we be looking elsewhere for value?
I want to hear your thoughts! What strategies have you found effective in shallow leagues? Do you prioritize certain positions differently? And what bold predictions do you have for the upcoming season? Let's get the conversation rolling!
