We all have our wish lists.
No matter whether you’re a 10-year-old kid writing to Santa or an “adult model” with an OnlyFans profile, we all have em.
This one is mine for Fantasy Baseball.
The offseason can be a cold, dark, lonely place. Nevermore so than this past one. Major League Baseball barely made it through a 60-game season thanks to the pandemic. Glass-half-full thinking says the season was traversed, as was the postseason, and the Los Angeles Dodgers were crowned our World Champions. Still, yet, were any of us sure the 2021 season would start on time? And with what rules would the game be played by? We are still waiting for some of these answers. There is so much uncertainty in this world, now more than ever. However, what I learned from last year’s pause in action was there really is no such thing as a pause if you’re a fantasy baseball player, at least if you are a serious one. Much like the players themselves, I stayed loose, and I stayed active.
By active, I mean staying on top of team and players news, even if articles were few and far between. Utilizing the extra time, I crammed past seasons’ numbers to establish firmer baselines, going back three years or even five where I could. Identification of trends made me view certain players in a different light. In a sense (a very broad sense), the delay in the 2020 season was a blessing. I was able to create a more refined Wish List of targets, ascertain those targets in drafts, develop balanced rosters to battle a choppy season, and capture victories. After the season was complete, I went right back to cram mode for 2021. A dedication towards a 24/7/365 system has me prepared for whatever may come this season and ready to once again turn lemons into lemonade...
