2B is an absolute nightmare, but also how does OF have the most players available and somehow it seems like all of them suck? Post-mortem from my strongest draft take last year: The Sewald/Munoz stack was actually a pretty cool call, go me. Important links Statcast - The rawest of stats. Look up info like exit velocity and runner speed in mph. Fangraphs - Lots of advanced stats that you can customize and export to a spreadsheet. Check out their auction calculator for custom league projections. Baseball Reference - You can see every batter on one page here and every pitcher here which you can export to CSV. Closer Monkey - Closer news. Find out who's about to become the next closer. Baseball Savant Daily Matchups - See which players have good matchups each day Baseball Press Lineups - See which players are starting or benched before lineups get locked.. MLB.com Spring Training Stats - Find out which players to choose in the first round because they hit 5 HRs in March. Razzball FantasyAlarm Rotoworld FantasyPros Pitcher List - The tools you get for paying for PL Pro absolutely slap, highly recommend (I am a staff writer so I'm also biased) Libre Office - More or less a clone of Microsoft Excel but it's free and works on every OS. Make your winning draft spreadsheet with this. Fantasy Pitching Calculator - Projects how your ERA & WHIP will change based on future runs/hits. For helping to decide whether to start or bench pitchers on Sunday in H2H

Bregor posted:In the middle of a slow draft for a TGFBI satellite league, used the Fangraphs auction calculator and then tinkered with it a bit to get at least some baseline for rankings since I haven't done much prep otherwise. I've made 13 picks so far and been pretty conservative avoiding injury risk or unproven prospects. Might throw it all out the window and try some dart throws soon. I'm doing a TGFBI mock right now with FG auction numbers, and it seems like something is very weird with the pitching values right now, or at least was a week or so ago when I punched the numbers.

Bregor posted:Oh weird. Which model did you use? I went with ATC and pitching seemed fine but catchers were very overvalued. Had to manually bump it down a bit. I also did ATC for pitching, and it seemed to be more or less fine for the top end, but then practically everybody started getting the same $$ amount, and it went into the negatives in a hurry. I don't mind that much since pitching is generally kind of in an obvious "shape" and you can weight the actual projected stats easier, it was just weird.

Had my first real draft of the season tonight, one of my Ottoneu leagues early on in it's life, so the calculated values for players were actually pretty accurate. I somehow ended up with too many 1Bs, but overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Got another Ottoneu draft on Sunday, then the real Dark Souls begins.

Bregor posted:1B is the one position where I feel like it's very deep in shallow leagues and very thin in deep leagues. In my dynasty I feel like I'm begging other teams for guys like Andrew Vaughn and Ty France and getting nowhere. I traded Steer in a package for Trea Turner and while I'm happy I did, I'm either gonna have to hope one of Busch or Mervis runs away with the job in Chicago or draft an available guy like Ryan Noda, Seth Brown, or Carlos Santana. This is a points league, so I am mostly fine getting the best bats I can and letting the roster sort itself out, my current first basemen are: Josh Naylor, Alec Bohm, Justin Turner, Brandon Drury, Salvador Perez, Anthony Rizzo, Hunter Renfroe, and Josh Bell (obviously several of them have other elig, too) which should be a decent crew regardless of how I gotta cram them into the lineup. I think Ottoneu is a lot of fun and not as big of a commitment as the tagline makes it sound, the offseason stuff is really broken up into discrete chunks with their own deadlines.

I've been prepping and mocking for TGFBI so much that it's made 12 team drafts feel abnormally short, it's a good feeling.

Took Cole in the second round of TGFBI this year. Took Rodon as my SP1 in TGFBI last year. As a Yankees fan, I need to stop doing this.

BaseballPCHiker posted:This is why I'm soooo happy my big money league drafts the weekend right before the big opening day. Saves a lot of potential heartache. Yeah, my money league draft is always as late as possible. Makes it somewhat more stressful but I definitely prefer it overall.

Pitcher List staff league draft was tonight (well, one of our several leagues), my first live draft of the season. 12-team, standard 5x5: PL drafts are always a bit weird because we just spend so much time marinating in The List and is associated rankings, so there's always a weird game of chicken with pitching and I really have no idea where I ended up falling with my staff. My RazzSlam draft i wrapping up too, and my pitching block was extra ridiculous this year:  That's starting in round 21, and doesn't include Zack Wheeler (round 2), Kyle Bradish (32), Ashcraft (34), Jones (36), Uribe (37), Soroka (40), and potentially McArthur or Miley in round 42. I feel truly insane.

Money league draft tonight, 12-teamer 7x7 (AVG/OBP/SLG/R/HR/RBI/SB x W/L/K/ERA/WHIP/QS/SV+HD) Feeling pretty good about this crew, gonna make a bunch of IL-related moves on Thursday once it's FA and not waiver claims to shore up the bullpen. Absolutely stoked to get Varland that late. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Mar 20, 2024 |

I think everything except those last 3 picks are great, and I'm only iffy on those last three because I usually take RPs who will help me erase ratios/vulture saves at the end there. They're all perfectly cromulent SP fliers.

lmao Hunter Brown and Bryan Abreu combined to give me -50.07 points in Ottoneu today while also combining for $22 in salary. They're fuckin' both gone tomorrow.

Somebody in my money league rage dropped Snell, so that was a fun waiver pickup.

General Bullshit posted:I have had him benched all week. I have to start him today because of postponed games. It's weird how he cannot hit a fastball all of a sudden. He had a huge dropoff last season after his shoulder injury. I didn't think it would follow him into 2024 like this but yikes.

General Bullshit posted:Same. I thought he'd be pretty valuable where I drafted him at. It feels like a lot of dudes just aren't getting good stuff to hit. Like, Judge and Freeman are doing fine overall but their SLG is in the tank (Judge's AVG, too, right now, obviously.)
