As we dive deeper into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the conversation around drafting strategies in points leagues is heating up. One of the most contentious topics is the unwritten rule of ignoring a platform's Average Draft Position (ADP). Many seasoned players swear by this approach, arguing that sticking to ADP can lead to missed opportunities, especially in points leagues where scoring dynamics differ significantly from traditional roto formats.
Let's consider the implications of this strategy. For instance, Mookie Betts, a perennial first-round pick in roto leagues, may not hold the same value in a points league due to the scoring system. This raises the question: how do you evaluate player value when the scoring system changes? Are there specific players you believe are being undervalued or overvalued based on their ADP in points leagues?
Moreover, the debate around when to draft pitchers is equally fascinating. The idea of waiting until the later rounds to pick up top arms can be a risky yet rewarding strategy. Have you ever taken this approach? What was your experience? Did it pay off, or did you find yourself scrambling for pitching depth later in the season?
As we share our draft experiences, let's also discuss the players who have surprised us this season. Who are the breakout stars that you think will defy expectations? Conversely, are there any established players you believe are on the decline and should be avoided at their current ADP?
Join the conversation and share your thoughts on these strategies. What bold predictions do you have for the rest of the season? Let's see if we can uncover some hidden gems together!
