No offense, but isn't that when you have to go with a different strategy.
No offense taken; I should have done a better job clarifying that statement. What I was specifically referring to was strategies based on extreme ballparks such as Camden Yards. The strategy was extreme lefty power hitters and LH starting pitchers. My draft list included Chris Davis, Ortiz, Cargo, Price, Sale, etc. However, the draft only netted me Ortiz and Price. At that point I was unable to change the basic strategy because I was committed to Camden Yards. I had to scramble to acquire lesser players who still fit the ballpark.
That particular strategy didn't work out for me in that league. But I think it was more to with the players I had than the actual strategy itself. Had I done a better job ranking my players I may have found more success. I tried the strategy again in a different league and had much more success drafting players. That team ended up making it to game 7 of the finals.
And that's the point I was attempting to make when I wrote the comment I did.
