Justin Eleff Fantasy Baseball Index columnist Scoring in these games is a matter of total points. Hitters get one point per total base, one per base on balls, one per RBI or run scored, two per stolen base.
Pitchers get one point per inning pitched, one per strikeout, ten per win or save.
These games are about accumulation, sheer and unadulterated, plain and simple. And while salaries are higher, it should be easier to own a good team. Second, while the 28 active players break down just as in the other games, the 12 taxied players must include exactly 8 hitters and 4 pitchers. Fantasy Baseball works like most challenges, with a nominal entry fee and transaction costs that add more quickly than you might expect. The prizes are decent, but you will probably lose money if you finish below second place in your league.
