Daily Fantasy Baseball Draft Preparation


Let’s cut right to the chase.
The number one rule when
preparing for draft day is
research, research and
research. Collect all the
essential information you need
for draft day like knowing the
players and all the teams’
lineups. If you are currently
reading this piece, you are
definitely on the right track as
you have taken the time to gain
knowledge on this awesome game in the hopes of gaining
an edge over your opponents.

What you need to do is find the right sources of
information, take everything in, and then make your own
conclusions to aid you in your daily fantasy baseball
draft. It may be a good idea to start taking notes to keep
all your collective information organized. It would be
easier to draw conclusions on data found in box scores,
various media, forums, message boards, and what not.

The next step that must be done depends on the type of
fantasy league you play in and the type of draft being
done. Regardless of the aforementioned, step two is the
assessment of the talent available for the draft, along with
the drafting order and the available auction budget.
Almost all draft day values you'll find are created for
single-season leagues with all players available. This can
cause problems if you are in a league which retains
players from season to season because now you must
convert their figures to be in line with the expected draft
day inflation.

Inflation happens when teams keep players under their
normal values. This causes the draft pool of eligible
players to shrink, but making the money available per
player to increase. This also allows for simple supply and
demand principles to come into play. For example, the
dollar values you found say that a speedster will be worth
$20. However, in a league where players are kept, there
may not be any other key stolen base figures left in the
auction. Three teams may need stolen bases, and only
one speed demon is up for grabs. The bidding wars
begin, and that $20 value will go out the window because
the two teams that don't get him will be doomed to finish
near the bottom of the stolen bases category, making it
much harder to reach that date with the traditional Yoo-
Hoo shower.

A daily fantasy baseball team owner now must forecast
the freeze list and see what talent will be available for the
draft. This must now be cross-checked against the
projected stats for the players you intend to keep. Once
you get those stats, compare them against last season's
final standings. You must now assess your strengths and
weaknesses, evaluate the pool of available players, and
begin to set your sights on players that you need to
acquire in the draft to balance your team. If a balance
cannot be reached, then focus on a category and try to
trade some of the spares for players that will help in areas
where you are weak.

Currently, you can get help in doing so by using fantasy
draft software to help speed up the process of locating
your strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of your
opponents. These software can be a valuable tool in
preparing for a draft. There are several products out in the
market so you can choose one you are comfortable with.

The above tip talks about keeper leagues. However, even
in single-season formats, one needs to look at position
dearth and draft order like a keeper league owner needs
to look at keepers. Know which positions have plenty of
talent and which do not. Be prepared for players that may
go in between your picks in a draft. For example, if you
have the 11th pick in a twelve-team draft, you will have the
11th and 14th overall picks, after which you won't get to
select a player again until pick number 35. Twenty players
will go off the board between your second and third picks.
One must keep that in mind while drafting. If you are not
aware of which players are left and who are likely to be
taken in the next 20 picks, you can get closed out of a
position or category.

The final step is to set a draft day plan. Start focusing on
players you want to have on your team and on which
round, or for what price you expect them to be available.
You can make use of various mock drafts as a benchmark
to get a ballpark estimate as to which players you will go
for in your draft. Then, you can go for players that fit your
draft order or budget meant for each position. Have some
backup plans ready because the draft sometimes doesn’t
go the way you plan it, and you never get all the players
you have on your want list
