Fantasy Baseball Strategy For A 60-Game Season: Runs & RBIs
23
Deal has been struck, right? Baseball is the only sport where it announces its start, but no one is sure if it really announced its start. Good ol' baseball being super stupid as usual. Okay, baseball is set to return on July 1st, and the season will happen, if Covid cooperates. The season won't look like any baseball season we've ever seen before. This year someone will get to 220 at-bats and it will take playing every game of the 60-game season while ducking Covid, which is not "ducking" after Siri autocorrects it; that's not "ducking" at all. No one says get the duck out of here, Siri, unless you have Daffy problems. Mookie Betts might get 50 runs, and he will lead the major leagues in runs. Cody Bellinger might lead the majors in RBIs with 58 and only score 35 runs. There could be guys who hit at the bottom of their respective lineups, play every day and barely crack ten runs or RBIs. Actually, gonna google real fast if anyone has every played in every game of a baseball season and failed to reach 10 runs or RBIs. Just messin'! I ain't googling that shizz because obviously it ain't ever been done. There might be five everyday players in the Tigers' lineup this year who don't reach 10 runs or RBIs. You know AP style is to write out numbers one through nine? Well, it is, and we might need to write out numbers in statlines this year. Nike Goodrum: nine/four/nine/.two-fifty-four/three. Ain't no way around it. I have gone on the record as saying I welcome any baseball this year. Whether it's 50, 60, or 20 games. Doesn't matter to me, because I want to see them get out there and play baseball. Give me a month of games; works for me! Just don't let me see anyone spit! You heathens! This year could be so screwy that MLB start its 60-game season and, due to Covid, end early and we only get 40 games. That's just what we're gonna have to deal with this year. Instead of going over all the players who will become DHs in the NL, which I will let stew for a week, I'm going to talk about overall strategy for a 60-game season. All 2020 fantasy baseball rankings have been updated for a 60-game season. So, with a 60-game season, what is a fantasy baseball strategy for runs and RBIs?
