It's a guessing game, that's what fantasy baseball is...whoever guesses best on the most players wins the championship...

Wow, then many of us on this board are great guessers, and many players in the leagues we're in are crappy guessers! Go figure!Comment

I have won my league (with madducks and Mag7) 3 times in the last 9 years...including last year. I claim no more knowledge than anyone...I made some good choices, but got a lot of luck too (Trout and Medlen last year).Originally posted by revo View Post
I suppose many of you knew Corbin would have 4 times as many wins as Hamels and Medlen combined
If you guys are such so skilled, how many titles have you won? Just curious."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

My main 16-team redraft league: 6 times in 15 years, with another 6 finishes in the moneyOriginally posted by Mithrandir View Post
Hammer's 16-tm HTH redraft league: 2x in 9 years, with another 3 finishes in the money
RJEL: 18-tm keeper: 0 wins, but in the money 3x in 6 years, and leading this year and the 3-yr standings. And I'm an anti-dumper, so I'm usually behind the 8-ball every year (and this year was no exception).
And all these leagues are full of RJers.Comment

It's amazing how often Lee, Lifeson and Peart guess correctly on which notes to play.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerComment

Where did i say to do no homework? I said whoever guesses best wins.Originally posted by Gregg View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

My league has had 7 different winners in the last 9 years so it is pretty competitive. I was wrong in my original post as i have won 3 times in the last 11 years, not 9. I have finished in the money at least 75% of the time. But i win because i guess right. I have no idea how any particular player will perform and neither does anyone else. Oh sure they can use sabermetrics out the wazoo to predict how a player will perform, but again, that's just an educated guess.Originally posted by revo View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

dude, I don't know what you're expecting out of fantasy baseball, but life is just a series of educated guesses, and all you can do is maximize your education and minimize your risk exposure.Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post
also, revo got a fucking steal in the guilty pleasures draft.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment
