The start of the baseball regular season also means the start of the fantasy baseball season, which means competition amongst friends will be on the horizon as well.

For many, it is easy to elect the superstars to a fantasy team, like Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals, Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels, or from a pitching standpoint, there is Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
