for hitters with issues for hitting the ball the other way
and
pitchers who need to hit their spots in order to succeed,
read "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz and do the exercises faithfully.
worked for me in helping me reach my life-objectives.

Could be just gettin' started, but i would trade him for an ACE or a Middle Infield Stud.

Savage Assassins 2015
offseason work in progress on SA up to 40 Keepers
Baseball Stars league is run by Brian Neilsen and a team of guys with whom he attended high school.
The League is a 12-owner league and we play for money.
After winning the league championship in 2013, i regressed into rebuild mode in 2014 with several really spectacular results, especially at SS and in the OF. I was able to win the consolation ladder in the playoffs so i will have the first draft position in 2015.
Now that doesn't mean that i will draft first.
Guys can designate up to 40 players, the full roster designed to include prospects (but not required), as Keepers.
But they don't have to keep 40, of course, and most of us don't.
In the 2015 draft, we won't know who gets the actual first pick until the day of the draft.
The persons who drop the most players will pick ahead of me as it stands right now.
In the offseason i work my team to put as many guys in place as i can on the 40-man roster in a way that supports my "win in 2015" strategy.
If you look at the link above you will see, however, that i am planning to leave at least one open spot in my Keepers so that i can exercise that "first draft pick" after all my keepers have been chosen by the automated system and the other guys have drafted up to that spot.
If i keep 39, there will probably not be any of my targeted guys (who aren't available yet on the ESPN player pool but could be by draft time) available at that point.
but i could trade that draft pick to someone who could get one of those guys with it for the pick in exchange for one of my players...or some other trade scenario i come up with on draft day.
or i could just forfeit the pick and go with a 40-man keeper situation. which i'm considering because i think all the players i'm gonna need to win this year are either on my team already or will be come draft day.
but i could change my mind and drop as many as 7 or 8 guys from this offseason roster in progress and go for some exotic picks that come available or do more trading on draft day.
anyway, in this first blog i wanted to explain the process, put the link up and talk about my strategy.
MY STRATEGY for 2015
Ending the 2014 season on a high note was a real boost to my plans for this year: my top 20 hitters and 8 of my 12 necessary pitchers are set. i want to have at least 13 pitchers, meaning i need to settle on five more. and that leaves seven other slots for me to commit to according to a certain strategy.
My basic strategy is to maximize the production i get from the 14 active hitting slots daily once the season starts.
*in our league there are 7 hitters' counting stats and 7 pitchers' counting stats and, as in all leagues, the hitting stats are more predictable generally than the pitching stats.*
this means i will need to look at my starters, their scheduled team offdays in the new season, their opposing pitchers', the ballparks they are hitting in and their splits/history in all applicable situations.
I will need to look at their real life and available backups at each position on the roster.
Despite the breakouts of several of my guys last season, i will need to look closely at backups at each position still as well as all the splits.
So i have done a lot of that work and continue to make peripheral moves to round out my opening day roster and see whether that draft pick will be of much value to me or not.
Right now, there is not enough room on my roster to Keep all the hitters that i think are keepable. so between now and draft time i will continuing to focus on that last seven hitters or pitchers to round out my squad.
This means i have a lot to go over and review of all the work i've done, the lists i have compiled and the scouting reports and split studies and schedule/ballpark/opposing pitchers/daynight/leftright, etc. splits i can do.
it's fun.
