Is the $1 bench player draft strategy recommended for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball auction drafts?
If you have never attempted the $1 bench player strategy, I recommend trying it out in a mock draft. I believe that you will see the value of $1 players once you finish. It’s a recommendable strategy because it lets you spend more $ on starters while still finding gems for your bench. Worst case scenario, a dud bench player can be replaced on the waiver wire. For a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball team focused on pitching, the $1 bench strategy is a must. For a team focused on offensive firepower, I would still recommend it. You can find leadoff hitters and cleanup bats for $1, and the importance of starters is obviously greater than bench players.
