As we dive into the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, I can't help but reflect on the rollercoaster ride that was last year. Winning the LABR league with a team that had its fair share of ups and downs is a testament to the unpredictable nature of fantasy baseball. It raises some intriguing questions about strategy and player evaluation.
Looking at my roster from last year, I had some hits and misses. Julio Rodriguez, who was expected to be a cornerstone, underperformed, while players like Marcell Ozuna turned out to be steals. This brings me to my first question: How do you balance the risk of drafting high-profile players who may not live up to expectations versus taking chances on lesser-known players who could break out?
This year, I made some bold moves, especially with my pitching staff. I invested heavily in Josh Hader and Robert Suarez, hoping to avoid the pitfalls of last season's bullpen woes. But the war room projections seem to favor last year's underperformers over my current picks. What do you think? Is it wise to trust projections, or should we rely more on our gut feelings and past experiences?
Also, I’m curious about your thoughts on the auction strategy. I went all-in on Gunnar Henderson at $36, believing in his potential despite injury concerns. Is it better to spend big on a few key players or to spread the wealth across your roster?
Lastly, with the unlimited IL spots in our league, how do you approach managing injuries? Do you stash players for the long haul, or do you prefer to keep your roster fluid and adaptable?
Let’s hear your thoughts! What strategies are you employing this season, and how do you feel about the current player landscape?
