I am in a couple of leagues. One, due to it's unique structure, doesn't have very many roster moves made in a season. So, usually one does not cut bait on a player until absolutely needed. Heck, I kept Ludwick on the roster up until a couple days before August! But I have been dominating that 5x5 roto league this season and that makes me even more slow to make moves in that league.
In the other league it is a contract league where we try to emulate real life baseball in every way. Last November my team lost a ton of players to free agency and I went into complete rebuild the minors system mode. I guess I wish I was more patient with some of the salary cap space I wasted on Stetson Allie. Spent 4% of my salary cap on his signing bonus as I was blinded by the power. Could have been better allocated on another player. That said, something to improve upon going forward. Lesson learned.
