Didn’t find a totally seemless way to weave this into the piece, but relating to conservatism… Some people are of the mindset that either you win or lose; second place is the same as last. I don’t adopt this philosophy at all (even ignoring the fact that some leagues pay out top 2, or 3 finishers. I draft a team to contend; and my teams almost always do. I guess this is something of an underlying question people need to ask themselves before assembling a team. Am I going for highest risk, highest reward, or do I just want to ensure I’m in a position to compete, and then try to tinker myself to a championship. I think those of us who are squarely in the strive to contend class a susceptible to overindulge in conservatism. By the way, you can probably tell a whole lot about how somebody plays fantasy baseball by watching them play poker. That might be a great idea for an article, especially if we have any really serious card players on staff here. Posted 10/14 at 02:06 PM

“By the way, you can probably tell a whole lot about how somebody plays fantasy baseball by watching them play poker.” Wow, now that I think about it, that statement holds pretty true for my leaguemates. Pretty clever. Posted 10/14 at 02:40 PM

Good piece. I actually have the same weakness - sometimes being too conservative in drafts/auctions.
