**** Official 2016 Fantasy Baseball Thread ****
 

What's good fellow degenerates? Spring training is weeks away. Roto, points and category leagues across our wonderful nation are setting draft dates and locations.

Let's get this started.

I'm looking to enter 2016 with Greinke, Arenado and Machado as top 80 keepers with a final year of Brian Dozier as 200th pick keeper. I'm torn with what to do with my last keeper selection.. Have yet to go into the ESPN system and see exactly how my roster was acquired seeing as the commissioner's list apparently is not accurate.

Who are your final options?

Lind with the 219th pick, Cain with the 224th pick are the value offensive picks.

Pitching wise, Odorizzi would be the 98th, Stroman/Fiers/Wade Davis/Familia or Happ with the 152nd.

Who would you pick of the following keeper options (no salary):

Arenado (3B)
Bryant (3B/OF)
Greinke (SP)

Is this kind of dick move how I play rotisserie leagues. I only draft 10 position players or whatever is needed to fill out the lineup. No bench players for position players. The rest of the roster pitchers. Switch the starters out every day. Relievers pretty much set as well.

Arenado is at worst top 15 selection and if this is a one-and-done keeper option, it's what I'd go with. If this a longer term league, Bryant would make sense depending on how you're keepers are accounted for.

As for Greinke, what top flight pitchers are you likely missing out from drafting due to keepers or where you're picking and what the scoring set up is?


That's how most teams roll in the H2H categories league I'm in. Unless you have a position player with multiple eligibility or a guy that gets platooned more often than not then stashing rotational pitchers is the way to go.

Trade advice appreciated:

I have Tyson Ross and someone offered me Julio Teheran and Jose Quintana in exchange. I also have Chris Sale, so I wouldn't be dealing my top pitcher, but he is my #2 SP.

Who would you be dropping to get the second SP in that deal?

Probably my backend SP, who right now is Adam Conley.

The Padres could really suck ass and Ross might not be in a position to get Ws. I'm in a similar position with Shields.

What is your scoring system? How many teams?

That's a good point. It's head to head, SPs score based on wins, saves, total strikeouts, ERA, K/9, and WHIP. And there's 12 teams.
