Lenny Melnick’s Control the Draft Strategy was featured on FantasyBaseballMafia Live. Tony Cincotta asked Lenny Melnick to give his expert advice to the FantasyBaseballMafia Community. Lenny also has given his outline to the Grand Jury. You can listen to the show on the front page at FantasyBaseballMafia.Com. It is truly fascinating stuff from the legend. We will continue to work with Lenny Melnick this season. Lenny came on the Wiretap Sunday night and provided the guys with his analysis. So here is Lenny’s outline and check out the PODCAST at FantasyBaseballmafia.com
CONTROL THE DRAFT OUTLINE
1.Secure last years stats & rosters for reference
2. Begin by listing ALL players you think will be drafted
a 10 team league..needs 10 1b + 10 3rd base + 10 combo 1sr/3rd = 30 players
3.Put $ anounts next to all players
a use tier system for player $ comparison
b..add all player $ making sure the $ anount = amount spent at draft (EXACT)
(10 teams @ $ 260 to spend = $2,600)
c allow for keepers..If Braun was $1 last year ,he will be kept etc(most are obvious)
4.Using your $ amounts construct teams that work
a Using last years stats as reference ,project HR & SB .generally, (Good HR = Good RBi, Good SB = Good runs)
c. Dont draft BA under 265
c Dont draft ERA over 3.6 WHIP over 1.35
d Make MANY teams untill comfortable
5.. After feeling comfortable with a team you have made:
a.Select alternative player that give equivalent stats
b.not necessary to get alternates at same position
1b @ $25 along with $10 OF
may become $25 Of ..$10 1b
6 ..Use + - at draft
(You have Lowell valued at $20 and he goes $15..draft is under $5)
( You have Ortiz valued at $30 and he goes $35..Draft is over $5)
7 ..If draft goes to + 65 or over = sit tight for bargains
If draft goes - 65 or under= get a player
8 ..Don’t get caught by having only 1 player at any position who gives you stats you need
