The Athletic's fantasy kit is also killer if you have a sub, the articles are updated regularly and they have an absolute nightmare of an Excel sheet available that you can easily customize with your league settings for rankings/team projections.

Also this year I signed up for RazzSlam and TGFBI so I look forward to being utterly embarrassed by real fantasy professionals. I'm in the TGFBI league with Derek Vanriper for fucks sakes.

And to plug PitcherList some more, this year we switched the site over to all StatCast data-driven stuff and the player pages are super-cool and way more useful: https://www.pitcherlist.com/player/juan-soto/

so wait Ohtani isn't two seperate players on your platform? You get both sides in one player? I think you gotta keep him if you get the pitcher and hitter in one roster spot. Thats too valuable. I'd throw back Acuna even though Tatis is out til June.

Yeah in ESPN he's just a guy that goes as either one when you start the game. So if he pitches and hits you only get the stat you chose him for, I cannot remember what start it was he mashed and threw BP but it was sucky to have him as a pitcher that day.

Just kind of putting feelers out, but would anyone be interested in a new keeper league? Yahoo, live draft, categories to be determined but it won't be stupid poo poo like triples and no hitters?

Need help on a keeper decision if anyone mind weighing in


Walker Buehler or Corbin Burnes

Thought buehler to be a no brainer as an ace on the best paper team but every ranking I’ve seen has Burnes several slots higher



There’s no penalty or upside to either guy draft wise it’s just would you rather have. Leaning buehler since I have the best chance of redrafting Burnes I think.

As far as scoring, it’s head to head, and picture SPs as quarterbacks in fantasy football. You can, and I do, stream most of the year but you want to roster 2-3 aces ideally as you get 7 starts per week in this league. Any help is appreciated

My favorite keeper league I've been in 15+ years drafts next week! We get to keep 3 each year as long as we want. I won it all last year, though I had to trade away my 2nd and 3rd round picks for a playoff push.

My keepers ought to keep me in it for a good long while though. My two for sure keepers are:
Vlad Jr
Juan Soto
And I'm debating now between Corbin Burnes and Shohei the hitter. Leaning towards keeping Burnes.

You are receiving this broadcast as a dream...We are transmitting from the year one nine... nine nine ...You are receiving this broadcast in order t
There is a 90% chance I am going to need to draft my dad's team because he is going to be unable to make his draft. I know nothing about fantasy baseball strategy, or anything about the majority of players outside of superstars and Giants. It is roto, NL only, auction draft, and each team can have up to 7 keepers. I am not entirely sure on the scoring or full roster positions yet. I also have no idea which players are kept at this point for the team I will be drafting or any of the other ones. Are there any good online resources that give updated player values as they are kept/drafted to factor in increasing scarcity? I am familiar with fantasy sports concepts in general, but I don't know enough about fantasy baseball to know how to prioritize between positions (is the 7th best 3rd baseman worth more than the 5th shortstop?) or when there is the last good 1st baseman worth bidding on vs a bunch of interchangeable 0 WAR guys.

It is a live draft but I will be doing it remotely so I should have plenty of time to tinker around with spreadsheets as the draft is happening. I have seen the links in the first post but none of the ones I clicked on seemed to update based on who was kept/drafted, but maybe I just missed one that does.

ROTO Keeper League, 12 team draft, I got the last-first 12th spot.

I managed to get Tatis and Acuna back to back and I also was able to get Witt Jr, Kelenic, and Julio Rodriguez, so I'm hoping my team has the best keepers in the league for several years to come. Will post full roster soon.

wow you got Tatis/Acuña at 12/13 in a keeper league? seems like a steal.

we drafted our Goon keeper league over the weekend, I am pretty happy with how my team turned out.

Also managed to trade Bryant and Trivino after the draft for Matt Olson.

OK, so 12-team ROTO with six keepers.

R, H, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS
IP, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, QS, SV+HLD

C Garver (181)
1B Votto (108)
2B LeMahieu (132)
3B Rendon (61)
SS Witt (36)
MI Tatis (13)
CI Chapman (156)
OF Acuna (12)
OF Kelenic (37)
OF Springer (60)
Util Rodriguez (108)
Util Brantley (228)

SP Morton (84)
SP Verlander (85)
SP Bassitt (133)
SP Stroman (180)
SP Kopech (157)
RP Kimbrel (204)
RP Sewald (205)
P Hendricks (229)
P Chafin (228)
P McHugh (229)

I had to auto-draft my bench so I will switch them out the first chance I get. I won't list them here for now.

This was an unorthodox draft strategy, and I'm sure many of you are thinking KELENIC AT 37?? But my strategy was really to set myself up with amazing keepers for years to come, and certainly getting Acuna/Tatis helped me do that. I was hoping to get one and both fell into my lap.

I also think Witt and Rodriguez will play full or nearly full seasons this year and represent two potential more amazing keepers, as does Kelenic, who was heating up near the end of last year and still has top tier five tool potential.

I actually don't expect to have a top five finish with this roster, especially with the time being missed by Acuna and Tatis, but I'm happy with the setup and hopefully I can do better than expected via waiver wire pickups.

In a keeper league it's definitely different, and it's different for top 5 prospects most of the time. In this case, all Riley Greene will cost me is a waiver priority and his potential is one of the best players in baseball within a couple of seasons. No risk, limitless upside.
