Happy to introduce "Simply the Best Ball Guide"! This has been a little side project that I hoped would help people navigate the different Best Ball options.

Compare pay-out structures, roster settings, point values, and the top 100 players.

Only need 4 more!

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@camarcano Love it! It's a hoot. I'll send out an email once we are full with some tips about the draft format and the way it will all work.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

Looking for two more adventurous folks. Slow auctions are an absolute blast. Bidding on up to 36 players at once!

[Derek Rhoads @drhoa3]

Its time for another Best Ball Slow AUCTION! I hosted one of these leagues last year and it was a blast!

League scoring will match Fantrax standard bestball and the draft will be hosted on couchmangers. Rosters will be moved to Fantrax after the draft.

Only need 5 more! Who wants to do a slow auction best ball draft!?

@smada_bb @MoisesAlouHands @JohnLaghezza That's probably about right. Even then I am not sure I will love it.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@EightyGrade I am definitely eyeballing this!

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

It's not really a bestball draft until someone drafts 5 straight pitchers to open the draft...

Another wonderful bestball draft hosted by @smada_bb!

@SpokaneWaUpdate @smada_bb I'm really like team 3. Those first 3 hitters 🔥🔥🔥.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

Same @smada_bb best ball draft now through 15 rounds.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

Almost 10 rounds deep in my first best ball draft of the off-season. Hosted by the ever-drafting @smada_bb .

I am drafting out of the 11 spot. Always interesting to see these first few drafts. No projections, No ADP.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@SpokaneWaUpdate @smada_bb

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@JeremyGibbs2 Bobby Witt +186.52
Brandon Drury and Michael Harris weren't even drafted in these leagues!

Ohtani was the king at +633

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

Messing with some NFBC best ball data, here is a little trivia.

Which players do you think had the largest positive and largest negative point differential in this format?

As an example, teams that drafted Tony Kemp averaged 469 more points than teams that didn't draft him.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@BenBinghamMLB Just personal research that I found interesting. Not sure I'm going to have much time this off-season for any writeups.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@smartfantasybb Brandy Singer was even more unknown than Brady Singer.....man I'm awful at typing.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@smartfantasybb Brandy Singer was the number # 2 most positive player with +580ish.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@JesseDubb83 @smada_bb I'll shoot one out later today.

@steven_brunn 100%

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@JonesCurtisW @steven_brunn I'm with you Curtis. I drafted Ohtani a couple of times and passed at least 5 or 6 more times. Definitely a -EV move in 2022.

[Derek Rhoads @JAG_Fantasy]

@steven_brunn Yeah, it really drives the point home. I was resistant to it from a risk standpoint but I think I'm going to have to get over it.
