How to Win Your CBS Sportsline H2H League Pt. 2

I told you guys that I would post my roster from my CBS H2H draft. This will let you see my strategy in action. This is the kind of team that I have winning every year in CBS H2H. This is a ten team league. I don't have full draft results because it was a live draft and I wasn't trying to write all that down. Here's my league winning draft this year.



Round Pick Player Position

1 3 Ryan Howard 1B
2 18 Vlad Guerrero OF
3 23 Alfonso Soriano OF
4 38 Troy Tulowitski SS
5 43 Aramis Ramirez 3B
6 58 Aaron Harang SP
7 63 Dan Uggla 2B
8 78 Brett Myers SP
9 83 Takashi Saito P
10 98 Chad Billingsley SP
11 103 John Maine P
12 118 Tim Lincecum SP
13 123 Jason Bay OF
14 138 Jeff Francis SP
15 143 Josh Hamilton OF
16 158 Alex Gordon 3B/1B
17 163 Dustin McGowan SP
18 178 Zach Grienke SP
19 183 Geovany Soto C
20 198 Ubaldo Jimenez SP
21 203 Joakim Soria RP
22 218 Lastings Milledge OF
23 223 Shaun Marcum SP

Get your big points with power guys early. Pitchers in the middle and late rounds. Bench players as your sleepers. This is how I win CBS Sportsline H2H every year.

It looks like you are punting steals and less concerned with saves (2 save guys, admittedly one is the top of the heap).

This makes me feel better about my CBS H2H team because I only have two closers. Less confident than yours, though, because my two closers are Lidge and - egad - Percival.

This will be my lineup in H2H (12 teams), standard 5x5

1B Teixeira
2B Orlando Hudson/Kendrick
SS Guillen
3B Miguel Cabrera
C Geovany Soto
OF Hawpe
OF Suzuki
OF Torii
UT Blalock/Theriot
UT Orl Cabrera/Juan Rivera/Bonds (hoping he gets signed)

P Billingsley
P Harang
P Verlander
P Smoltz
P Lidge/Gordon
P Tony Pena
P Okajima (bad spring - tempted to dump)
P Percival

(gamble with Prior in farm)

I actually like this team, but the league pundits have me at 8-9th place. I also may lack in steals.

Where can I improve?

Rob,

Remember this is a CBS H2H league not a roto league. Categories don't matter. HR are worth more than SB in this league. You only need one good closer in H2H. I think you'll be ok with Lidge. Percival is a different story although he'll get you saves early. You need another sp or two. I would dump okajima and get the best SP available. You want as many SPs available for those two start weeks where you can get big points. Offnese is pretty good. I really like Cabrera and Teixeira on the corners. Thanks for the comment.
