Hello,

I have played fantasy baseball for a couple of years, enjoy it so much more than football. Anyway, I was competitive but looking for advice from some who have played longer.

It is a 5x5 category league, hitting stats OBP, HR, R, RBI, SB and pitching stats W, SV, ERA, WHIP, K.

I have been tempted to target OBP and SB batters and go heavy on pitching (going for those bigger names in rounds 2-5). My thinking is people who get on base will also score runs which should give me a good scheme for winning hitting categories at least 3/2. Then I should be able to get some great SP1 with drafting a touch earlier than others in the league.

Any thoughts on my plan or any thoughts in general from those who have played a bit longer is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
