For the first time I will be joining a 6x6 league (14 teams), with OPS and Holds added to the traditional categories.
For those who have participated in leagues of this format before, do you have any suggestions on how I should be adjusting my player rankings?
My first thought is that early in the draft, some of the power guys should go ahead of the guys that mostly help in steals. I'm thinking, for example, that I should consider drafting Cabrera, Holliday, and even Ryan Howard or Prince Fielder ahead of Jose Reyes, since they will help you in OPS and Reyes won't.
Furthermore, since starting pitchers can now only help you in 4 of 6 pitching categories, should they be passed over for offensive players even more so now? In a 14 team league, I'm thinking that Johan should not be drafted in the 1st anymore, and maybe Peavy shouldn't be drafted in the second... how far down would you slide starting pitchers relative to 5x5 leagues?
Also, how high should middle relievers be drafted? I really have no clue.
Any other general strategies ?
And if any of you guys know of any resources on-line that have some good information regarding 6x6 leagues, I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions...
Thanks.
