The major difference between football and baseball is the rotisserie nature of baseball scoring.
In football, the currency between all players is fantasy points. The Bonzai mechanism served to equal out fantasy points if the draft goes chalk. Obviously, the final results never go as the projections expected, but that's not what we are talking about.
In baseball, drafting the best pitcher, no matter how good, only gives you an advantage in pitching. Perhaps more importantly, the rotisserie scoring aspect allows one to overcome the advantage given to the top picks.
Personally, I would need to see how several more of these drafts play out before I would be comfortable deciding the best set up and strategical approach. I agree. Reading some of the posts put up here over the past day you would think that those owners are already suggesting that they have little chance to win even though we are just one third of the way through the draft. Of course, they could just be looking at their teams.
Even if team 1 or 2 wins this league, one draft certainly does not make up a sample size worthy of changing the draft structure. However, I will be setting my KDS 1-15 next time.
[/QUOTE]I agree with this.The early pitcher gives you an edge in wins, ERA, and whip for sure, but you are then committed to pitching as your strength. With one wrong step, you can lose your edge. By adding another arm early, you are following further behind in offense.
