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.

“Don’t pay for saves” really comes to show the difference between Roto and H2H leagues. Arguably the type of league that is more common, a H2H will allow you to roll with closers you picked off the FA or got later in a draft because of the unpredictability of the Save. A team could have 4 top ranked closers and might still struggle against a team with 2-3 late round or FA pick up guys.

Because the league is set up for week to week, a team can get away with this. But in a roto league, you’re correct, you will be buried if you don’t get more reliable guys by punting the position.

yes it’s absolutely a roto v. h2h discussion and we should make sure to underscore in future convos about SVs! furthermore, we also discuss these big overall contests at the NFBC which are even more different than standard roto lgs in terms of getting your SVs
