Why your FAAB regrets this season are incomplete.
“Business opportunities are like buses; there’s always another one coming around.” - @richardbranson
Take that business insight from Richard Branson and apply it to fantasy baseball FAAB/waiver wire "losses".
A FAAB loss is two questions:
⚾️Did the player work out?
⚾️Would the version of him you bid on have been the one that worked out?
Those aren't always the same player.
✍️ New musing. Link in reply.

You can’t engineer the perfect prediction.
But you can engineer more chances for the perfect prediction to find you.
Each year, the same articles drop:
“Who is this year’s league winner?”
“Who will hand you the trophy?”
The question itself is a trap. No one can actually identify the player who will win your league in advance.
What the data does shows is that 25% of teams that ended up owning one of the season’s most profitable players won their league outright.
You don't have to predict the league winner. You have to position for one.
That flips the real question:
It’s not “who is the winner?”
It’s “how many shots am I taking?”
So when those league winners columns drop, try to read them differently. Don’t treat them as forecasts. Treat them as available inventory worth speculating.

Not enough time to read these days?
Here is the TLDR image for this week's musing.
Follow me here @FBMindset for more on building a better mindset in playing Fantasy Baseball.
Inspired by a recent @BubbaBloomPod where they discuss the "lucky misses" we have in FAAB.
Every time we miss that opportunity to roster a player, it's not always a negative.

When things aren't going well, remember the two F words.
Fail. Fix.
Be wrong on the way to being right.
And if things still aren't going well… there's always the third F word.

“Victory belongs to the most tenacious.”
- @rolandgarros
Those words from from Roland Garros don’t promise that the most talented wins. They don’t promise that the most prepared wins. They promise that the most tenacious wins.
Tenacious enough to take another at-bat after striking out.
Tenacious enough to ask why three more times when one would do.
Tenacious enough to study the winners, and refuse to become their carbon copy.
Copy the moves and you trap yourself in someone else's game.
Copy the mindset and you build the same engine for yourself geared to your own strengths.
The spreadsheets, the rankings, the bid sheets...
those are the trophies of someone else's process.
Your edge is asking why one more time than the people around you.

You can also apply this theory to winning parlays…

The best fantasy managers don't carry longer lists of players.
They carry shorter lists of patterns.
The names change every year. The situations don't.

Was looking for an outdoor light bulb replacement on Amazon. Every type has a note stating:
"Arrives before Father's Day"
I was unaware that this is what dads need now.
Is this the new version of dads getting a tie?!
