Fantasy Update – Week 1

Well, I made some mistakes so far. This is my first year doing fantasy baseball in some time. I had forgotten that you can make changes to your lineup during the week. Therefore, I did not have nearly enough pitchers on my bench in either league. I made many transactions to remedy that.

I picked up Wily Peralta, Clay Bucholz, and Jimmy Nelson for my Bassball Fever team, dropping Erick Aybar, Ender Inciarte, and Joe Panik. Unfortunately, I picked them up after their first start. Bucholz had a great opening day, but he tanked on Sunday.

On my Brooks Robinson team, I picked up Collin McHugh, Jason Hammel, R.A. Dickey, Mat Latos, Neftali Feliz, Jimmy Nelson, and LaTroy Hawkins. I dropped Yu Darvish, Brandon Belt, Chase Headley, Jonathan Broxton, Steve Pearce, and Yan Gomes. Also, I put Cliff Lee on the DL.

I lost both of my games this week. Here are the results:

So it was a rough week. I am making some adjustments and hopefully I will have some more success next week.
