anyone playing free fantasy baseball...

[BLKEEN]

on ESPN? I have a couple leagues, and i dont get how the scoring works, anyone know? then i had an autodraft and it picked a bunch of relief pitchers instead of starters, wouldnt i want mostly starters? then finally what is the utility player? there is some nobody in the spot now, should i just put in my best bench players? HELP! haha

I haven never played ESPN fantasy baseball but I have played some others. Utililty is a spot that you use to get another good hitter in. Any player can be put in that spot. You should put your best hitter who isnt already playing in that spot.

As far as the pitchers go you usually want starters or closers they get the most. Some relievers do get some good stats but you wouldnt want too many of them.

Anyone have any good sleeper picks?

[BLKEEN]

i found Rich Aurilla after the draft in free agency. he hit .300 last year with 20 somethin HRs. and he's eligable for 1b, SS, and 3b. not bad for not in the 1st 19 rounds of the draft

mine is 10 teams, standard league.

tips i saw: 1st and 3rd base is deep, you dont need to draft them early. 2nd base theres Chase Utley and a huge drop off from him..

Nick Markakis, Baltimore Orioles..played the last 2 1/2 months or so last year as a rookie and hit .291 and 16hrs. dont be surprized if hes an All-star

[Swoosh23]

I have one league going in Yahoo I got Puljos with the second pick. It was awesome lol.
