Draft Day. All your
preparation, your strategy, and your plan leads up to this moment. The clock ticks down. Your pick is up next. This is your moment. Will you grab that moment and shine?
Okay, while that was definitely over the top, taking part in
a fantasy baseball draft can be a fun experience. You get the opportunity to be the owner and
general manager of your own team.
Besides, most times, it will at least provide another excuse to hang out
with your friends and talk baseball.
So how does one approach a
draft? There are plenty of
theories. Always draft sluggers early to
make sure you have enough power on your team.
Or never pay for saves since closer is a volatile position. Whatever path you choose, there are a couple
of general tenets to remember to help prevent the draft from being a day of
regret.
First, do not get locked into a
particular player. There will be other
players available that will provide you with similar value. Therefore, it can provide an advantage to look
at players in groups. That can serve as
a signal for when to select a player.
Once players in that same group are being selected, that would be the
time to look to pull the trigger on one of them.
Besides, you are likely to be in a
league with your friends and people that live geographically close to you. Therefore, don’t be shocked if Justin
Verlander just may be someone else’s favorite player in your league as well.
So as a second rule, hometown
players are likely to be overvalued in your particular draft. If you are drafting with Tiger fans and
really want Austin Jackson on your team, be prepared for the likelihood you
will have to overpay or draft him earlier than you may have thought.
And a final thought is to remember
it is your team. Remember why you signed
up for the league in the first place. If
it is just for fun, then you can avoid players from hated teams. However, if you really want to win bragging
rights or money, then you just might have to stomach a Cleveland Indian on your
roster.
