Playing in my 1st rotisserrie baseball league (help please!)

[badger1679666666]

NL only, 10 teams

 

Roster Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, RP, RP, RP, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL

 

Stat Categories: R, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, OBP, W, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

 

7X7 rotisserrie scoring.

 

Any general guidlines on how I should go about drafting?

What positions are most important? when do I take SP's? What do I take first? When do I take RP's?

 

For example in Fantasy football, RB's are the most important, and most people wait until middle rounds to pick up a QB.

 

ANY advice on how to do this, would be awesome (once again it's NL only).

I've never done a roto league only head to head. I'd imagine the strategy is pretty similar though. I like to go with stud hitters the first 3 rounds before even touching a pitcher (unless something crazy happens like Santana falls deep into the first round). Then I like to make sure I secure 3 very good starting pitchers. I put more emphasis on position scarcity than a lot of people do (for instance, I would rather have Chase Utley on my team than Aramis Ramirez). You also have to look at tiers. Its good to divide each position into tiers and if theres a lot of guys left in a tier at a certain position than chose from a position where there is maybe only one or two guys left before a big drop off. There's a lot to it, i hope something I said in there will be useful to you. Good luck!

I tend to favor starting pitching in Roto Leagues. Relievers tend to be a bit more shaky in terms of health and consistency, although saves should not be neglected.

 

Your numbers suggest to me that power hitters are heavily favored in the league (although triples made things interesting). Since OBP is favored over average, you can get away with snagging guys like Dunn, Gomes, Swisher, and Wilkerson.

 

Finally, since triples are a factor, be sure to snag some one like Furcal or Crawford to help out with that. Those are hard to come by as it is, so having some one who can get you double digits in triples will help your cause quite a bit.

Holds are counted too, so relievers are probably more important than in a normal roto league.

Its N.L. Only. I've never played in an NL only league, but what I'd do is grab a few marginal Rockies and use them exclusively at home (Helton being the only exception).
