As we dive into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, it's time to reflect on the rollercoaster ride that was last year. Grey's LABR team, which somehow clinched the championship despite a mix of underperforming stars and surprising gems, raises some intriguing questions about strategy and player evaluation.
First off, how much weight do you put on past performance when drafting players? For instance, Grey's experience with JRod and Bednar shows that even high-profile players can be a gamble. Are you more inclined to take risks on big names, or do you prefer to play it safe with consistent performers?
Speaking of strategy, Grey's approach to his bullpen this year is particularly interesting. After a painful experience with Bednar and Diaz, he opted for Hader and Suarez, who are seen as more reliable. Do you think investing heavily in a solid bullpen is crucial for success in a 12-team mixed league, or is it better to focus on starting pitchers and stream relievers?
And let's talk about the value of prospects. With players like Gunnar Henderson and Junior Caminero commanding hefty prices, do you believe in paying up for potential, or do you think it's wiser to wait for prospects to prove themselves before investing?
Lastly, Grey's comment about the abundance of not great, but getting two starts pitchers on waivers is a reminder of the importance of flexibility in roster management. How do you approach streaming pitchers in your leagues? Do you have a go-to strategy for maximizing your innings while maintaining solid ratios?
Let's hear your thoughts! What strategies are you implementing this season based on last year's lessons? What bold predictions do you have for your fantasy team?
