What are some common drafting mistakes made by first-time fantasy baseball managers?
In fantasy baseball, you have to make sure your players healthy. Injuries change so much, so make sure that you don’t take a ton of injury-prone players, even if they’re healthy at the time. I see a lot of guys take big name players who are big injury risks at the top of the fantasy baseball draft. That’s another thing that’s a big mistake: taking big-name players. Sometimes, the New York or LA market players tend to be more famous than they are good, whereas there are some players in Milwaukee or Kansas City that are great – they don’t have the big names, but all that matters in fantasy baseball are the numbers. You want to go back, look at the numbers, see who has an upward trend, and target those players in fantasy drafts.
