It’s not like I’m upset or anything, as he is my No. Well, my plans didn’t happen, as I ended up with Soto in the first round. Throughout, I’ll be coming back to some interesting thoughts on where players went, approaches teams took, and why I like my team more than the CBS draft grade machine did.

I had my Top 500 rankings up to go off of, but I knew I’d have to adjust as the draft went on as I looked to draft for value and continue my approach of waiting on starting pitching.Īnd, yes, traditionally - and in this format - starters outscore hitters, but I’m a big proponent of targeting innings in points leagues and am willing to pass on the high-strikeout arms if I can get someone I feel confident about going 160 innings. What’s more, since we have to have two relief pitchers, I wanted to make sure that I got two SPARPs who I liked, even if I wasn’t going to get the most elite options in Spencer Strider and Cristian Javier.

I have always considered them the forefathers of points-league coverage. But besides me, what else do you think of when you think about points leagues for fantasy baseball? I don’t know about you (I do not feel 22, BTW), but I think about CBS.
