other possibilities pick 2
luebke cuddyer espinosa hart lind pagan sergio santos kenley jansen

was thinking santos cuddyer or luebke

i also have a trade that has to happen after the draft of my gallardo and pineda for his kershaw if that changes any picks for you

BTW, that was a serious answer to “a very serious question”.

Depends on different circumstances. Scenario #1: If its public leagues (no money), you’ve already surpassed what I think is the threshold – no more than one league because then what ultimately happens is you only follow the one or two teams that you like or is winning. This hurts participants of the league who actually care of the outcome. Most public leagues have at least one manager that vanishes.

Scenario #2: If its private leagues (no money), see scenario #1 – same threshold but with one exception in which case you may be in one league that is roto and another that is h2h. I say roto and h2h because they require different strategies and although some tactics overlap, the differences outweigh the similarities and therefore I don’t think you would over leverage yourself. So basically the limit is 2 leagues. Private leagues are typically done with people you know so this exception prevails because you are put in a scenario were you are pressured to perform at a level expected from your friends. As a result, there is accountability.

Scenario #3: If its money leagues (private or public), the sky is the limit. I love the competition and being engaged. Also, in general when people put money on the line they are serious about following their players and making moves. Having said that, I’m only in one private/money league because I want to win and I think the best opportunity in winning is being able to put all my energy and concentration on one team.

A fantasy baseball season, if followed correctly, can become exhaustive. So those are my thoughts.
