Okay, so I wanted to get my hands dirty with some fantasy baseball draft prep. You know, the usual – figuring out which players are hot and which are not. There’s so much info out there, it’s like trying to drink from a fire hose. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
I started by checking out some overall rankings. I figured I needed a big picture view before diving into the specifics. I found a top 400 list, which was super helpful. It’s a great way to see who’s supposed to be the best of the best.
Next, I spent some time reading up on the Fantasy Baseball Today team’s rankings for the upcoming 2025 season. It’s always good to see what the experts are thinking. I noticed a few names kept popping up, and those are the guys I’ll be keeping a close eye on. One player, in particular, Roki Sasaki, seems to be a name to watch out for.
- I’ve been thinking about my draft strategy.
- I’m playing in a standard 10-team points league with a $260 salary cap.
- I used the “Pos. Rank” to get a quick idea of where a player stands within their position, which is pretty handy.
- I also paid attention to the dollar values to get a sense of how much I might need to spend to snag certain players.
- Deciding who to target is tough.
- There are a lot of great players out there, but you can’t have them all, sadly.
I decided to make a list of 25 players that I’m particularly interested in. I know, it’s a bit arbitrary, but it felt like a good number to start with. I could’ve gone with 20 or even 15, but 25 it is! Honestly, after looking at a few, the differences between some of them are small.
I know not all of these guys will pan out, especially in 2025. In fact, most of them probably won’t. But it’s all about doing your homework and trying to get ahead of the curve. It’s a gamble, but that’s what makes it exciting.
It is still early, and there is a lot more research to do. But I feel like I’ve got a good starting point. I’m going to keep digging, keep analyzing, and hopefully, I’ll be ready to dominate my draft when the time comes.
