This will be our final recap of the 2017 fantasy baseball season, and we are going to end it on a high note, highlighting areas where I was right. I want to thank everyone for reading, beginning in March, as I hope we were able to build a strong team and maintain it throughout the season.
As always, we will try to improve and be even better in 2018.
Where I Was Right:
Detroit Tigers Third Baseman Nick Castellanos Being a Sleeper -- He was being drafted 22nd at third base and 218th overall, and at the time I wrote "the ability to draft a player with 25-plus home run upside that late in the draft is worth the chance. This is the exact type of player fantasy owners want to target later in drafts to add depth." This couldn't have worked out better, as Castellanos slugged 26 home runs this season while batting .272 batting with 101 RBIs. It feels good to target late-round players and have them come through.
