I am back Steve Weimer, the 2024 NFBC Draft Champions overall winner and top 15 finalist for the inaugural Champions League of fantasy baseball. Steve cashed in nearly of all his DC's in 2024. An incredible player at all levels.
Steve's team
Overall Top 100 in DC’s → had 11 teams from hour honeys, and 5 from 1K. Top 100 in 2023 had 7 teams from hour honeys and 1 from 1K
Champions League discussion
Several CLQ’s in overall top 10
What will be your walk up song?
Will you do some OLACs as practice? Other high stakes auctions after CL auction?
2024 DC format review
%’S, Correlation changes
Importance of AVG
Everyone is going to fade speed it seems and focus on power early. What might that do to ADP, or your strategy?
average batter/pitcher split on their teams?
2024 DC Player Spotlight
2025 Too Early MB Draft
2025 Early DC ADP
Is it too easy to get wrapped/married into the biggest regressors in ADP?
Compare the early player pool in 2025 to the player pool in 2024. What has changed?
Steamer → This seems off – >players who have rosier projections than should
