RBI only League

[heyelander]

yep, our "total bases" league, which I thought was awesome, didn't you end up winning?

err... now that you mention it...

[heyelander]

I hope there was an innings minimum, otherwise I'm drafting injured pitchers and pitchers in A ball for that league

Zero total bases given up!

goal was the most total bases in both... so more bases given up by your pitchers was better... we had an innings max.

what's a good website to handicap Rbis only

i am not really a baseball expert like most of the RJ guys but i found this article from 2017 on how batting order can affect RBI's. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/rbi-and-batting-order/
also players can move around in the batting order. so sometimes it's just knowing where the player is going to bat. you can try projections too https://www.fangraphs.com/projection...=all&players=0 i am not sure where you would find 3 year averages.

Here is how my draft went
C Zunio Tampa Bay
1st base. Goldschmidt Cardinals
2nd base Torres Ny
SS Correa. Houston
3rd Suarez Reds
Of Trout Angels
Of Dahl. Rockies
Of Rosario Twins
Dh Rizzo Cubs

So far looking to possibly Replacing Zunio
Here are some of the catchers AVAILABLE not much to choose from would you sit on Zunio or choose one of these others long term
Danny Jansen Toronto
Francisco Cervell Pitts
Robinson Chirinos houston
Austin Barnes Dodgers

Im back in the AL/NL RBI only league .
Whats would be your draft strategy in this type of league.
we get 1 player at each position and a DH .
what are some good website to look up data .
I know RBI'S Are all luck but just looking to see how you guys would go about drafting in this snake draft .

I'd rank the projections by RBI and draft from that. In the later rounds I'd look for a couple playing time breakout guys - they are the ones who will win you this league.

Looking for advice in this RBI league 9 teams this year I have the 9th pick in a snake draft .
At this pick should I take the best available player at pick 9 and 10
Or Go after a catcher and a 2nd baseman since these are the 2 weakest positions in rbis this year .
thanks in advance .

Using Yahoo! projections, the top 8 hitters would be: JRam Alonso Judge Olson Machado Eloy Devers Teoscar

The next 2 would be Goldshmidt / Vlad (200 RBI); if you reached for the best C/2B it would be Salvy/Albies (184) for a net difference of 16 RBI.

The spread in the top 9 C is 35 RBI.

It doesn't look like a terrible strategy, however, I'd rather draft elite talent early and draft a C when it makes sense, or just wait and draft one late. D'Arnaud, Raleigh, Kirk, Stephenson, Rutschman, Moreno, O'Hoppe are all outside the top 9 but could finish the season in it.

If it were me I'd do the following:

Pick a projection system.
Pull out the projected RBI for all hitters
Group by position
Determine the "replacement" level player at each position (i.e. the 9th best catcher, the 9th best 1B, the 27th best OF, etc)
Subtract replacement value from each player.
Sort
Draft

There would potentially be another factor in looking at ADP but considering there's likely no ADP data on an RBI league we can ignore that.

From what I'm seeing the obvious suspects are still at the top, you want a judge/alonso/etc. The top few catchers do have extra value here because like mentioned they have more of an offset from the 9th catcher than other positions.

I don't see 2B as much of a play, it's pretty flat, so your 9th best 2B is only getting ~10 less RBI than your 1st. I'm not sure why that would be prioritized, just take whatever is left.
