Welcome to our fifth season of fantasy baseball coverage. During the next month we will help you get ready for your drafts and prepare for the upcoming season so you can become a champion. The recent trend in baseball has been free agents signing after the start of spring training so it's becoming more beneficial to draft closer to the start of the season.
Throughout the month of March, I will dive deep into fantasy baseball draft strategies, reveal my breakout players, bounce-back candidates along with undervalued and overvalued players.
As a refresher for those who followed our coverage last year and to any new readers, in fantasy baseball there are different league formats that are used, but the most popular is the five-by-five rotisserie league format, and that is what I will base my opinions on. For those who are not familiar with what that means, there are five hitting categories: batting average, home runs, runs scored, RBIs and stolen bases. For pitching, the categories consist of wins, strikeouts, ERA, walks plus hits per innings pitched (WHIP) and saves. On-base percentage (OBP) continues to become more popular as a replacement to batting average, so I will refer to that stat as well since it could change how we evaluate certain players.
