'Value' player posts?

Greenhorn here with 21 teams under my belt. I just joined a low budget league ($45M) and I'm looking for posts that discuss 'value' players, most bang for the buck, etc. (Strategy posts too?)

If any of you could post a link or two to past 'value' themed posts that you go back to, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Just a quick glance and seeing the monster seasons being put up by Crosetti makes this league intriguing haha.

Crosetti sucks, don't draft him, he'll tank your team. :mrgreen:

These have all been successes for me in low caps. They might not fit in twin peaks though but you could squeeze one or two in. (For those wondering the Twin Peaks league each team has one hitter and one pitcher over 10M with a total cap of 43M.). You’ve essentially got 20-23M to squeeze 22-23 players out of. And 12 teams are going to dive after the same players. It’ll be a fun waiver period I think.
Glad to have you aboard

Smaller caps can be a lot of fun. An Oquendo / Bridwell ss platoon is always a nice option. Or Oquendo on his own. Ed Sweeney at catcher also is another one I like

Here's a bomber and a smallball team at $60. Just 2 different examples of cheap value plays.

Blowers, Mercer, Weintraub, Renfroe, the list goes on. There are plenty of others.

I make specific themes to avoid watching those guys steal leagues because we have no usage control here. I have done a few leagues that cut out the 1-2m players altogether.

Of course, I use them if they are allowed because....why not?
