You may not be the next Joe Torre or Casey Stengel, but you can fantasize all you want ....and that is what fantasy baseball is all about.

Since 1980 people have been able to start their own leagues with the best of the best and win the MLB World Series - of their dreams, at least.

Anything is possible if you get the right players in the draft and know who and when to trade.

How to pick a fantasy baseball team

What's your strategy for choosing players? You may decide on average but well-balanced group of players, choose a power house (but injury-prone) team that knocks 'em out of the park - or is pitching your main focus?

While everyone wants to employ the next Babe Ruth, remember that pitching is usually good for as many fantasy wins as good hitting (just like in the real world), so your top pick for starting pitcher is important — major league important.

Whatever angle you choose, also note that the biggest mistake fantasy baseball managers can make is not having a strategy. Decide on one, and stick with it for the long haul for best results.
