Every now and then it’s important to remind yourself that the Fantasy Baseball season is only 3 weeks in, and has about 22 weeks left. Being prepared with an outline for how you want to use your allotted moves can be very beneficial. Now….every league is different with their preferences. Some of mine allow you as little as 5 moves all year, and others up to a max 60. (I realize some leagues allow unlimited pickups, but this article is about management). Knowing the specifics at the draft is very important, but we are passed that, and it’s a great time for the reminder. There are 3 times during the season I like to use my moves:
- The last week of April. This is where you begin to see who are the pretenders, and who are poised for a true breakout year. (Pretender – Garrett Jones) (Poised – Marlon Byrd)
- Emergencies. Unexpected injuries to Star players happen, but this is a golden opportunity to begin to look at players who you may have been neglecting because of the talent ahead of them.(Injury – Aaron Hill) (Surprise – Kelly Johnson)
- Fantasy Playoffs. Read your league’s rules carefully for this one. If you are allowed to make moves in the playoffs than it’s extremely important to put a few moves a side. Grabbing that extra win, or a few more strikeouts, or that young speedster for some SBs. These moves can be critical in making it to the next round, or raising your championship trophy.
Keep in mind that there are many different fantasy formats. For your specific situation, or any fantasy question at all refer to the Quick Fix LINK for FREE individualized expert advice.
