NT MLB Redraft Thread: May standings posted!

I would prefer we run a video game simulation to a fantasy simulation personally for the following reasons:

  • A good fantasy team does not always equate to a good actual team, and visa versa.
  • Middle relievers are useless in fantasy, and extremely important in actual baseball.
  • Having players who play strong defense are useless in fantasy.  I am looking at you Jason Heyward!  (sorry @CP1708
    , its the truth)
  • Positions are important in real baseball and not in fantasy.

Those are things that are above and beyond the fact that running a fantasy league is exponentially harder to run than letting a video game operating system do it for you.  (i.e. A player gets hurt in video games, and that player is replaced by a bench player.  A player gets hurt in fantasy, you have to manually put in a replacement.)  Also, I dont like the fact that there will be any add/drops  or trades at all.  Would require a ton of patience and time allocated to doing this after the draft has been completed.  Not sure everyone is down for that

Anyway @macbk
, if you want to run a fantasy league, be my guest.  Just wanted to offer a devils advocate type of perspective.  I am in regardless.

Valid points all around. I'm cool with scrapping the fantasy idea and sticking with the Show. Was just a thought really.
