Show Me What You Got

Fantasy baseball season is heating up. Dynasty drafts are escaping the early rounds, NFBC ADPs are starting to get a serious sample size behind them, and the interminable football season finally ended when Tom Brady didn’t see his shadow. If you’re waiting to get started on your 2020 baseball prep, well… stop waiting! Get crackin’.

Recently, I’ve been re-watching Rick and Morty. The show is strangely fertile ground for ideas of all shapes and sizes. Today, we’ll play Show Me What You Got. Use the comments to Show Me What You Got. It could be original analysis, commentary on ADP, meta analysis, a new way to aggregate useful data, funky league designs, or any other baseball-adjacent topic.

If I like what you got, it may appear in a future post – with proper credit going to your username of course. In keeping with tradition, if I don’t like what you got, I’ll cancel your planet. If you’d like to be credited in a specific way, please say so. This can be arranged via email or twitter DM if you’d like a more private line of communication. Obviously, you may also request that I don’t write about what you got. Sadly, I cannot offer monetary remuneration for your time.

If anyone is finding themselves bewildered by the loose Rick and Morty reference, here’s what’s happening in plain english. This post is the fantasy version of the community blog. Rather than fully-fledged posts, I’m only looking for fully-explained ideas. I’ll do the not-so-heavy lifting of typing words.

There might not be an opportunity to post all the great ideas here on FanGraphs. If that occurs, I’ll try to give everybody their full due via my personal blog.

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.

10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.
