EP 360: All Things Fantasy Baseball w/ Ian Hubbard
Episode 360
Show notes
I am joined by Ian Hubbard to cover a wide range of draft and in season play topics
CLQ - DC - risk vs redundancy / playing it "safe"- what is "safe?"
Faab -How new ROY draft pick rules have fundamentally changed FAAB. Spending more FAAB early due to impact, not caring about threading the needle, on mostly mid-level guys, rather than FAABapoolazas
Evaluating players based on in depth analysis rather than spreadsheet plugging and how both can get you to Otto Lopez
How much is too much of one player in draft season
Banking late season insights for DC season (Randy Vasquez)
