In the world of fantasy baseball, auction drafts can be a wild ride, and the recent Memorial Magazine League auction was no exception. B_Don shared some fascinating insights into his strategy, and it got me thinking about the nuances of auction drafting.
One of the key takeaways was the importance of flexibility. B_Don mentioned that he likes to keep his plans loose in mixed leagues, which raises an interesting question: how rigid or flexible do you find yourself during your drafts? Do you stick to a strict plan, or do you adapt based on the flow of the auction?
Another point that stood out was the value of unsexy players. B_Don snagged Jung Hoo Lee for just $4, and it sparked a debate about the potential of players who might not be household names. Are you willing to take a chance on these types of players, or do you prefer to go for the big names?
And let's talk about the balance between spending big on stars versus finding value later in the draft. B_Don spent a hefty amount on a couple of top players but still managed to fill out his roster with solid options. How do you approach this balance? Are you a stars and scrubs drafter, or do you prefer a more balanced approach?
Lastly, B_Don hinted at some potential struggles with WHIP and home runs. This brings up the age-old question of whether you should draft for need or best available talent. How do you prioritize your roster needs versus grabbing the best player on the board?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on these strategies and any experiences you’ve had in your own auction drafts. What bold predictions do you have for the upcoming season based on your draft strategies? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
