Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this whole fantasy baseball thing for a while now, and 2024? Man, it’s shaping up to be a wild ride. I figured I’d jot down my process, what I’ve been up to, and how I’m prepping for the draft. Maybe it helps someone out there, or maybe it’s just a good way for me to look back and see where I went right or wrong.
First off, I started by looking at the whole landscape. Who’s going to be big this year? Who are the sleepers? I got my hands on some rankings and projections – gotta love those cheat sheets, right? They’re like my bible during draft season. I spent a good chunk of time highlighting names, making notes, all that jazz.
Then I started getting my hands dirty with some data like top 12, sleepers, breakouts, busts and ADP. I wanted to see who was projected to do well but maybe wasn’t getting all the hype. Those are the guys that can really make a difference on your team. I also took a hard look at the busts. I saw which risky picks I should be comfortable with and who are not. You don’t want to waste a high pick on someone who’s gonna tank.
- Spent hours poring over rankings and projections.
- Made a list of potential sleepers and busts.
- Compared my notes with what the “experts” were saying.
- Did some mock drafts to see how things might play out.
I’ve been trying to get a good feel for the outfield situation in 2024. From what I can tell, there are a few guys flying under the radar that could really surprise people. I marked them down, did some digging on their stats from last year, and tried to see if there were any patterns or reasons to believe they might outperform expectations.
One thing I’ve learned is that you can’t just rely on the numbers. I mean, they’re important, no doubt, but you also gotta factor in things like injuries, team changes, and even just plain old gut feeling. I spent some time reading up on players who switched teams in the off-season, trying to figure out how that might impact their performance. It’s not an exact science, but it’s all part of the fun, right?
Getting Ready for Draft Day
Now, as draft day gets closer, I’m starting to refine my strategy. I did a couple of mock drafts online, just to get a feel for where players might be going and how I might need to adjust my picks. It’s one thing to have a plan on paper, but it’s a whole different ballgame when you’re actually on the clock and other people are making moves.
I’ve got my cheat sheet all marked up, my list of sleepers and busts, and I’m feeling pretty good. Of course, anything can happen on draft day, but I feel like I’ve put in the work and I’m as prepared as I can be. Now it’s just a matter of executing the plan and hoping for the best.
At the end of the day, it’s all about having fun, right? I mean, yeah, I want to win, but I also enjoy the whole process – the research, the strategizing, the thrill of the draft. And hey, if I can help a few folks along the way with my ramblings, then that’s just icing on the cake. So, here’s to a great 2024 fantasy baseball season, and may your sleepers be plentiful and your busts be few!
