Contributors from the Call To The Pen website recently drafted an MLB dynasty fantasy league. How did each team do?

While MLB fantasy drafts are in full swing this weekend in preparation for the open of the MLB season on Sunday, April 2nd’s triple header for opening day.

Call To The Pen contributors came up with the idea during the 2016 season to do a dynasty fantasy baseball league this offseason. Benjamin Chase coordinated setting up the league with Fantrax, and this will be a comprehensive review of that draft now that it’s complete.

First, let’s take a look at what exactly the rules behind the league are:

The League Rules

– Every roster in this league consists of 40 players.

– A player who is on the DL can allow an owner to expand his roster beyond 40 only while that player is on the DL.

– Any player in the majors, minors, or foreign leagues was eligible for this initial draft. From opening day, no player unsigned on opening day who had never played in the major leagues will be eligible until the next season’s 5-round re-draft.

– Scoring is traditional 5×5 roto with batting average, runs, home runs, runs batted in, and stolen bases for hitters along with wins, saves, strikeouts, earned run average, and WHIP for pitchers.

– Rosters were the same as the original roto league, with the exception of one catcher instead of two. C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, 5 OF, Util, 9 P

Other rules are more league applicable and not really something that matters with this particular review!
