2012 fantasy baseball preview: Mid-late round pitchers


My fantasy baseball strategy has previously been all about pitchers. I would not hesitate to take five or six pitchers in the first 10 rounds with Roy Halladay in the first and just draft your Kelly Johnson's of the world in the later rounds to fill up my hitters. This year though I am coming to the realization that the maximum amount of pitchers one should take in the first 10 rounds is four, and you could really take as few as two pitchers and still have a solid staff by the end of the draft. Hitters are simply too weak this season, and there is not enough depth to pass on guys like Josh Hamilton, Jay Bruce and Mark Teixeira in rounds 3-6. Sure Dan Haren, CC Sabathia and Jon Lester are nice guys to have on any fantasy team, but I am here to show you that you can get adequate replacements in the mid to late rounds while stacking your hitters early. Here are five guys that are going in rounds 15 and beyond that are worth a risk and could produce a big reward.

With the Major League Baseball season just a mere three weeks away Henno and Matt decided to make some bold and brash predictions that will undoubtedly be wrong. Get your peanuts and Cracker Jacks ready, because by the time you are done reading this preview your house, office or wherever you choose to read Love Boat Sports, will be filled with the sweet aroma of a Fenway Frank. Baseball!
