Draft Advice: Tips on player picks and team-building.
#8144
As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the excitement of drafting and strategizing for our fantasy teams is palpable. Laura Holt's recent recap of her Laura Holt Challenge RCL draft has sparked some intriguing thoughts about roster construction and the ever-evolving landscape of fantasy baseball.

One of the most compelling aspects of her approach is the willingness to take risks on players she’s previously faded. This raises an interesting question: how much should we be willing to adapt our strategies based on the current draft environment? Are there players you’ve historically avoided but are now considering due to changes in their situation or your league dynamics?

Laura also emphasizes the importance of flexibility in roster management, particularly in a competitive league where churn is essential. This leads to another debate: how do you balance the need for stability in your lineup with the temptation to constantly chase the next hot player? Is there a point where too much tinkering can backfire, or is it always better to stay active and responsive?

Additionally, her decision to focus on high-floor players to mitigate the risks of injury and poor performance is a bold strategy. Do you think this is the right approach in a deep league format, or should we always aim for the highest upside, even if it comes with more volatility?

Let’s also talk about the intriguing picks from other teams in the draft. The strategy of waiting on pitching or going all-in on a particular position can lead to vastly different outcomes. What are your thoughts on the current trends in pitching drafts? Are we seeing a shift towards prioritizing elite closers early, or is it still a gamble to wait and see who emerges as the season progresses?

As we dive into the season, what bold predictions do you have for your fantasy team? Who are the players you believe will outperform their draft position, and who might be the busts that everyone is overlooking?

Let’s get the conversation rolling! Share your thoughts, strategies, and predictions as we prepare for what promises to be an exciting season of baseball.
