League: 10 teams, H2H on the normal categories
Strategy: I think try to win the W category is a lost cause, especially since pitchers only going 5-7 innings these days. So I usually just forfeit the W and K categories and go all out to get the SV, WHIP, and ERA. This allows me to stockpile on bats early and closers late. Usually the closers are posting up low ERA and WHIP, so I win those categories. If one of them blows a couple saves though, I'm usually out of the running. And since I draft big bats early on while others are taking SP, my offense is usually really good. I've won many leagues like this before, so I like it.

C - Matt Wieters
1B - Ryan Howard
2B - Chase Utley
SS - Asdrubal Cabrera
3B - Evan Longoria
SS/2B - Hanley Ramirez
1B/3B - Paul Konerko
OF - Mike Trout
OF - Jacoby Ellsbury
OF - Adam Jones
OF - Jayson Werth
OF - Domonic Brown/Michael Saunders/Christian Yelich (1 starts, 2 on the bench)
UTIL - Will Middlebrooks

BENCH - JJ Hardy

SP - Jon Lester (my only SP - I got him super super late and I figure if he bounces back he can help in the W category once in a while. He may end up sitting on the bench or traded if he sucks like last year).

CP - Fernando Rodney
CP - Aroldis Chapman
CP - John Axford
CP - Ernesto Frieri
CP - Steve Cishek
CP - Jason Grilli
CP - Glen Perkins
CP - Bruce Rondon

I think I have the saves category locked up every week, lol.

Solid team. Lester has been VERY solid this spring training and I guarantee will have a bounce back year. The same can be said for Ellsbury. Too many Phillie players, though. ;)

Interesting strategy. I much prefer Fantasy as opposed to rotisserie baseball, however. I like it when everyone has to compete with the same line-up requirements. Such as 5 SP and 2 RP each week. Also much prefer head-to-head points vs. categories. It requires much more balance across the board and is a bit more realistic to me. That said, I do like your team a lot, and that strategy seems to be very intriguing about winning this style. Let everyone else battle it out for the "big" categories, and you have no competition for the ones nobody seems to care about, but are worth just as much.
