EP4: INFLATION VALUES FOR AUCTION KEEPER LEAGUES
INFLATION VALUES- how to prep for drafts with owners having keepers whose values are above/below the market value. I go over how to set the inflation rate for the draft and how to use that as a tool in rostering the best talent for your team.
I go over :
Average Auction Values
INFLATED values
League specific value
Positional scarcity value
ROTOLAB software
This episode introduces some key tactics to employ versus your league mates in order to crush your draft. Understanding what inflation is in auction keeper leagues and how it is crucial in determining the value of the player pool for your specific draft. I also go over why knowing the tendencies of other owners is just as crucial as understanding the player pool.

EP2: 3 UP 3 DOWN #1
PULL HITTER POD EPISODE 2 : the introduction to future regularly themed Podcast Episodes called 3 UP, 3 DOWN
3UP 3DOWN- weekly pod discussing : 3 UP players- ranging from hot players, players on the rise to targets to off season games trade targets. 3 DOWN players- possible playing time losers, skills decline and sell highs. This episode focuses on targets in the offseason for AUCTION KEEPER LEAGUES. I talk about taking a different approach into your offseason strategy by trading for unwanted contracts and winning that deal. I also discuss selling high on players that are seeing a tremendous spike in their off-season AAV's (average auction value) and ADP's (average draft position).
