Build your best 2021 roster with the BABS GAME PLAN
Winning is about one thing only — drafting profit! Why invest heavily in a first-rounder like Gerrit Cole when another pitcher with a similar skills/risk profile can be drafted in Round 4?
In fact, there are DOZENS of less expensive, comparably-skilled alternatives up and down the draft board in 2021. Find later round options for early rounders like Pete Alonso, Trevor Bauer, Bo Bichette, Jack Flaherty, Lucas Giolito, Bryce Harper, Manny Machado and many more.
Ron Shandler’s Broad Assessment Balance Sheet (BABS) is all about leveraging the variances between players’ true skill and how the public is drafting them, which is the secret to fantasy baseball success. BABS helps you uncover these profit opportunities, provides a draft plan and all the tools you need to build the optimal fantasy roster in 2021.
BABS Game Plan 2021 gets you all this:
