I play in a H2H league where last year we kept only 4 players, this year we are voting on expanding it to 6.
Roster Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL
Batters Stat Categories: Runs (R), Hits (H), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Strikeouts (K), Batting Average (AVG)
Pitchers Stat Categories: Wins (W), Losses (L), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Holds (HLD), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)
My roster was cobbled together at the end while keeping my core players in tack with an eye towards this season keeping atleast 4.
My strategy has been to find multipositional players with good average and decent power. I focus on infielders right or wrong, believing the good ones are more scarce. I figure I can pick up outfielders more easily. I also don't worry about keeping pitchers as I don't get every day production like I do from my hitters. That strategy has bite me more than once as you can see from my pitchers I don't have much to go on.
So how would you rank my hitters? If the cut off was 4 instead of 6 would that change your rankings? I think it would be easy if I could keep 7. I've listed my rankings at the end of this post for comparison.
