Now January and Bengals season over. Looking forward to March Baseball Draft....People can only have so many Keepers so good players go back in The Draft. Should be a mind working draft of limited draft time, what players to choose. How to build a team for 2024.....Also This Year LM won't punch wrong button on Pitching Stats. Last year points per inning pitched were a mistake of 10 points instead of 1, but as LM said, too late to change it. So Pitching scored insane points, and not much worry about Pitchers going minus 20 or minus 30 points as years before, due to all the points for just innings pitched....So SCORING should be more like 2022 and 2021, and PITCHIING POINTS come back down to earth....Tecmo said he was surprised by all the Pitching Points, but that was an error last year....I'm sure League Manager will have it back to normal, and good hitting teams will put up points again also....I drafted relief pitching for first time ever last year. But I didn't get much in hitting in draft. I'm going to have to go back to drafting some hitting early also. A couple top starting pitchers, a couple top Saves Closers, but also a couple top hitters no matter where they play. A good all around team in the Draft....As we say, Fantasy Football is a sprint short season, Fantasy Baseball is a Marathon long season. You don't want to draft all Pitching or all Hitting, you need both for the Marathon....Tecmo will find it more interesting when League Manager has the Pitching Points right this year, and HITTING is not over shadowed by Pitching as caused by LM hitting the wrong set up button.
I'm also ready for the Reds Opening Day Parade which I saw first time ever on Channel 19 out of Cincinnati area up here in Dayton / Springfield area. Good parade of Ken Anderson, Anthony Munoz, Cincinnati beer floats such as Hudy, school bands from Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana. Bengals Float. I could have watched that parade more than 2 hours. It's not New York or Pasadena, it's our area and schools and businesses and teams. I hope 19 shows it again, I love that parade. Then after it, Reds PLAY BALL. They say more school bands are welcome, and schools should take them up on that. School kids from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana gave their schools good showing on TV in that. I was proud of every kid from every school in that parade.
Yes, looking forward to March Draft. Not sure who my Keeper is if we have them. Probably a top Pitcher, but I have to dive in there and get a hitter sooner. My going all Pitching early and Hitting at end left me with weak bats most of season. I need a hitter with some POP also this year. it was nice loaded up on Pitching, but a season of weak bats is no fun, I need to mix it up more in The Draft....Looking forward to our Baseball League of many of us Bengals Football Fantasy in it again....Other than Saves Closers who are hard to stock up on, those Set Up HOLDS relievers put up good points also to help round out a solid Fantasy Bullpen. A couple of Saves pitchers and a couple of Holds pitchers makes a good bullpen. There is a limit per week on starting pitchers, so those reliever points come in handy.
