What is the best fantasy baseball draft strategy?

Everything depends on the set up of your league.  Know the rules, and know the scoring system really well.  Payattention to players that have changed home ballparks, and whether that will help or hurt them.  In a typical league, you don't want to overvalue pitching.\n\nDraft best available player the first few rounds, and then after that start thinking about position scarcity.\n\nMost important: get lucky.

Well you have to understand what positions you are lacking in and sign some young fresh players that are hitting well, some pitchers would be heilman, lirano, tomko, and lieber. Some batters would be brossard, hanley ramirez, and brad wilkerson is starting to get hot. That or you can wait it out, but if you want to be a competitor i would recomend you start signing!

i play NBA fantasy myself.... so i had to learn the hard way..\n\nwhat you can do is:\n\n1. Get players that will dominate or give you points in each of the catagorizes.\n   a. scoring\n   b. rebounds\n   c. steals\n   d. assists\n   e. blocks\n\nand since its hard to get the best players, you have to always make sure your first pick will always be someone that will generate points in all the catagories.\n\nexample: Kevin Garnet, Lebron James, Shawn Marion, ect.\n\nThese guys will give you the point spread you need if other players you chose, dont produce.\n\n2. Pick players that you know the other people probably wont choose, but you kno will give you decent amount of points.\n\n\nhint: A single person cant win the match, you have to plug in the right amount of people that will give you more points than your opponent.\n\n3. Constantly look at the Hot/Cold sheets and see who is on fire. you have to keep changing your roster and implement players that you believe will help your team or drop them if you feel that they are not. \n\nFinally Observe the Yahoo Player Notes, and see what each of em has to say... those are one of the best tips you can get, to win a fantasy league. \n\nGOOD LUCK!!!

Evaluate your lineup and player attributes. Place the best contact hitters and speed runners near the top of the lineup and play small ball to score runs early. Be aggressive on the bases and try to steal often. Most pitchers won't expect it, or might make a bad throw to the base, either way you advance the runners. Teach the hitters to work the count and take pitches. Most pitchers will not get the ball over the plate everytime. You can get more walks and increase the pitch count on the opposition which will force them to go to the bullpen. Play the outfield deep so they can run toward the ball if it is hit shallow, it is much harder to run backwards and catch a pop fly. Teach pitchers two good pitches and make them stick with it. A decent breaking ball in would very difficult for most 16 yr old hitters to make contact with. Even if the breaking ball ends up in the dirt , they will swing. I could be more specific if you gave more detail on the team's weaknesses.

if you can get pujos or arod that'd be great but I doubt someone will trade one of them for what you are offering. What you want to get all depends on what you need. Do you have homerun hitters, sb threats, an RBI guy? What kind of stats does your league keep?

Curtis Granderson OF (going to be a steal if you can get him late)\nRicco Baldelli OF\nIan Kinsler SS\nMike Lowell 3b,2b\nJeremy Hermida OF\nBrad Wilkerson 1b,OF\nPrince Fielder 1b\nMark Loretta 2b\nJosh Willingham C\nJoey Gathright OF\nRyan Zimmerman 3b\njust a few I could think of. some of them you probably could get on waiver wire, depending on your league size and type.

The best ways to get into MLB if you do not come from one of the few scouted high schools in the country are ... \n\nPlay baseball for a college team that gets scouted. Just research what college teams current MLB players came from and see what it will take for you to get on one of those teams. \n\nMLB teams have tryout camps at the start of the season. This is a very big longsot at best. Few are ever signed and those who are often get released before they can get off the bus at the minor leage level. \n\nAnother way to get noticed is to play for an independent league. Especially for a team that has ex-MLB players trying to make it back. Scouts may notice you while they are scouting the ex-MLB player. \n\nMLB has tryout camps in places like the Dominican republic. You might possibly be able to get into one of those camps. \n\nJapan is always hungry for forign talent that can help. You might have to play in Taiwan for a year or two first to get noticed by Japan. Still it might be worth a try. \n\nBlackmail a scout into taking a look at you :) Just kidding on this one. Though if you have films of you playing, the right presentation, you might be able to talk a scout into looking at you if you are persistant enough. \n\nMost importantly dont' give up. If you really want to play you can make it happen. Mike Piazza a certain hall of famer was signed purely as a favor. The system is weighted heavily towards height and who looks like a baseball player today. Still exceptions happen. Brian Giles and Edgar Martinez are proof that the physical profile concept is a waste of time and excludes many of the best potential prospects in the game. Both of them almost did not make the majors because they did not fit the profile yet turned out to be big stars when they finaly did get to play.

I've included links to four sites: CBS Sportsline, FoxSports, ESPN, and MLB's official fantasy baseball.  Some of the links aren't direct because it's not the right season for fantasy baseball, but these links will get you access once the season begins.  Check these sites in mid-February.

Best Answer - Chosen By Voters\n\n1. Hide the ball in your glove. \n\n2. Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball. \n\n3. Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. (Image 1) \n\n4. Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. (Image 2) \n\n5. Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. (Image 3) \n\n6. Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. (Image 4) \n\n7. Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. (Image 5) \n\n8. Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up. \n\n9. Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter.

You just decide what fantasy sport you want to play.  Yahoo fantasy sports is a good site and I like the way their leagues are set up (I've played in others and they were not as user friendly).  You can sign up to play in a public league and you'll be randomly assigned to a league.  Your team will be picked by autodraft then but you can still trade players and pick up other players.  Then it's just a matter of keeping your line up set to play.  Basketball and baseball take more work because they have so many games but you can set your line up for several days in advance. \n\nIt's really fun if you have enough friends and coworkers to have a private league where everyone in the league knows everyone.  You can do a lot of smack talk and make crazy trades and it's really fun.  It's really fun too if you can do a live draft (where everyone is either on line at one time choosing or you actually go to a sports bar and pick in person).  Just a warning for a live draft---that is alot of work for the commissioner because then they have to go in and assign all the players to each person's team.  Autodraft is easier but not as much fun.\n\nJust go to the yahoo fantasy website and you can get started.  It's fun and I hope you get a good team the first time out!\n\nOops---I thought of one more thing.  In some leagues you have a maximum number of times you can play a position, or maximum number of innings pitched, etc. so you might want to check on that too.  It's bad at the end of the season when you are all out of players because you didn't know about that and sometimes started people just to be starting them.

It is an interactive sports game that can involve up to 12 players. Before the beginning of the season, you either have a live draft or an automatic draft to pick your teams. Each real live MLB player can only be taken by one Fantasy "Manager". You score points by the achievements of the real MLB players that are on your FANTASY team. You have the ability to trade and sign free agents. There are many different types of Fantasy Baseball. The most popular is the Head to Head type. That is where you play against one other "manager" in your league for an entire week. Getting points based on the stats that are selected for your league ( Hits, Runs, HR, ect ) If you want to learn more, please click on this link to read all the Yahoo Fantasy rules....\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/baseball/brules/index.html
