The Fantasy Baseball Beat

Bullpen Bonanza

The Fantasy Baseball Beat is back with a bullpen-heavy episode. Every team's bullpen is discussed with analysis, insight, and tips on how to manage the most difficult position to project. Topics discussed:

• How each team attacks the closer position
• The difference between listening to the manager's words as opposed to watching what the manager does
• High-leverage situations versus full-fledged closers
• Closers-by-committees
• Individual stats that stand out
• How contracts can dictate opportunities

After that, we have the Mental Health Moment, where the idea of taking a moment and pressing the pause button can be a valuable practice before we go on the attack. How important is it to take stock of a situation, process what happened, and then make an informed decision based on facts and not just raw emotions?
