Most fantasy baseball leagues start 9 pitchers, with the most common breakdowns being 6 or 7 starters, with 2-3 relievers. Most fantasy baseball leagues start a total of 15-16 hitters. In most leagues, pitching and hitting are weighted equally. That means that each individual pitcher slot counts for more points than your hitting slots. So [...]
The outfield is full of talent, and the upside lasts deep into the tiers. With perhaps some of the best players that blend power and speed, you can make up some ground here if your infield is weak. Don’t feel like you HAVE to get 4 great ones early though, because there will be good [...]

First base is known for being among the deepest positions in fantasy baseball. It is a nice place to find a stud that will hit you 40 HR and drive in over 100 runs. However, it is also a great place to find a younger, low-profile slugger. If you scout it right, you end up [...]
Dividing fantasy baseball players up into tiers is a useful way to gauge relative value. If you miss out on a player you like, tiers can show you other options at the position that will help your team with similar levels of production. If you can find an option in the same tier that turns [...]
