The draft is over. Weeks, perhaps months of copious fantasy baseball research shines through when examining the results. Yet the road to claiming a championship has only begun.
Some managers, confident of their drafted squads, will simply kick back and wait for Opening Day. That's probably better than the person who has overreacted to every spring training tidbit and already made 20 moves.
There's a happy medium in between those two extremes. Trust your drafting decisions, but don't doze off and miss major news. Those who drafted early especially must take note of players who have since bolstered their stock by earning playing time or dominating March's exhibition bouts.
Before the MLB season begins on Sunday, many owners will clear a roster spot or two once teams finally place injured players on the disabled list. Gamers stashing Michael Brantley, Jung Ho Kang, Yu Darvish or Lance McCullers get to shop around free agency.
If filling out a final bench spot, why not take an upside flier? None of these players are perfect, which is why they remain available in over 50 percent of Yahoo Sports leagues. With a strong start to 2016, that will quickly change, so pounce now before the window closes.
