Each year we take a look back at an

Look
If you had one shot,
or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?
Yo
Look
If you had no Keepers,
no Rookie Keepers
and picked at the end of every round
Could you win the Shooter Cup?
Would you capture it
Or just let is slip?
Yo
Presenting the 2022 version of the Hindsight Warriors!
The bats are led by power bats with Rowdy Tellez who we’ll take in the 19th round, Daulton Varsho in the 2nd, Nathaniel Lowe in the 9th, Christian Walker in the 12th and Anthony Santander in the 14th. Some power / speed combo bats add to the roster with Adolis Garcia who we’ll take in the 4th round, Andres Gimenez in the 16th, plus Jorge Mateo and Michael Harris II, who we’ll scooped off waivers during the season.
Our pitching staff sweeps all roto categories, led by Justin Verlander who we’ll grab in the 1st round, Triston McKenzie in the 5th and Cristian Javier in the 8th.
Some big waiver grabs also with Kyle Wright who led the league with 21 wins, and of course Spencer Strider and his massive rate.
The bullpen is dominant with Emmanuel Clase, Devin Williams and Paul Sewald drafted, plus big pick ups for Felix Bautista, Ryan Helsley, and everyone’s favourite Blue Jay – Adam Cimber and his 10 wins.
So what does this tell us?  Anyone can win any year, even if you’re just joining this season as an expansion team.

Keeper Rankings 2023

Congratulations Kim on your first….wait, what? AGAIN? I guess Sean was insulted by Larry’s attempt to catch up to his record # of titles. Sean held off a serious push from Kim in the last week to capture yet another Shooter Cup! Congratulations Sean, Kim and the other money teams!

As we head into the 2023 keeper decisions, here’s how our rosters stacked up at years end….

There’s only upside from here Wei. Welcome to the league and good luck climbing the ranks!

Bobby finished behind Marko? Now THAT should have a punishment! Hey, at least your team is old too.

Marko, I know the ranks say Heaney isn’t good, but you can still keep him. Please, keep him.

Well, at least you won a cup.

Ouch.

Welcome back Tatis! Better luck on the injury, suspension front this year.

Do you miss Trout yet?

There’s Trout! How fun is that!

Acuna’s back! #1 player and a young team overall, someone’s moving in the right direction!

BOOOOOOO, MANOAH….sweet Jays keepers. Jo Adell is still playing?

Trade me Vlad already, c’mon!

These RK’s could all go off this year…sleeper team! Too bad Rodon is a Yankee, you’ll have to boo him all year.

Well that’s gotta be a mistake…didn’t this guy trade 30 guys just 2 years ago for…oh…2 first rounders. Fun stuff.

How does this guy keep winning and rebuilding at the same time? Kim, I told you to push harder when he was offloading! BOOOOOOOOOOOO Sean, BOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Keeper Rankings 2022

I didn’t even have to write this – I’ll leave it the same as my last 2020 update – Congratulations Larry on another Shooter Cup win. As always, a LOT of moves were needed to win the cup, especially to cover off a ton of in-season injuries. Larry proved once again that Sean isn’t the only dynasty in the OBFBL.

ADP Values are from the NFBC. Composite rankings are from Rotowire/Fantasy Pros and Dynasty Rankings from CBC/ESPN. It was a straight average across those 4.

As we head into the 2022 keeper decisions, here’s how our rosters stacked up at years end…
