As of right now I am planning on being in 3 NL-Only auction leagues, 4 NL-Only draft leagues, and 1 AL/NL draft league. I am a born and raised St. Louis Cardinals fan and because of this I mostly keep up with the standings, stats, and fantasy impact of only the National League teams. I have come to enjoy the aspect of National League only leagues because it involves the strategy of dealing with extreme drop offs between the elite talent and the not-so-elite talent, no matter if you are bidding in an auction or drafting the players.
I think that it takes more time and preparation to compete in a single league format than it does a mixed league. You are dealing with only half the players and subsequently half the talent, as is the rest of the league. That is why it is never surprising to see someone reach for an elite player earlier than expected or to break the bank for a player whose position is scarce with fantasy value. Also, you must stay active on the waiver wire and with the trade market as talent is in short supply for every owner.
I will be continuing my ownership in 1 longstanding NL-Only auction league. This league includes keepers(2 or 3 year contracts), restricted free agents, and inflation from year to year. This is a live draft that is very time consuming, sometimes up to 8 hours, but the most enjoyable because of the preparation, strategy, and level of involvement. It always makes watching the baseball season mean that much more.
So, what is your preferred league of choice? AL, NL, mixed? Auction or draft? Roto or head-to-head?
