What exactly is H2H specializing in other than optimal overall production and not dicing a roster up into specific categories?
This statement you made makes absolutely zero sense. There is no specialization whatsoever, that is the beauty of it! There is only one goal—put forth the most productive roster you can. BTC, it sounds as though you are talking about a H2H points league, in which, to use your example, 4 HRs or 7 SBs are both valuable towards your team point score for the week, which is all that determines a win or loss. Most of the other discussion, I believe, is aimed at a H2H categories league, where you get separate wins by beating your opponent in HR or in SB.
Interesting article and posts…. Really the problem is with both roto scoring. Whether or not you are judged at the end of the year or each week is immaterial.
Fantasy baseball as most people play it, is about gather commodities, and is silly. Fantasy baseball should be played in a points-based setting, where each event is given a fair point value based on its relative value to helping a team win.
In any type of roto-scoring, a SB is more valuable than a HR. Need I say more? This, to me, is where the realism debate kind of ends.
If you want to play the style that MLB does, you would need to have a playoffs. H2h people all know that they are just setting up lineups and hoping for the best.
Very enjoyable read Derek. The comments have been fascinating as well though I do need to finish reading a handful. I have played in both league types over the years, and really like both. There are aspects of both games that I like and dislike, and thus, playing in a mix is the way to go for me. I do agree with the idea that if you are playing for high stakes, roto is the best way to go, as it take a great deal of luck out of the equation though as long as the game is played by … Read more ».
Traditional Roto. H2H Roto would just be pointless in my mind. That is simply a difference of opinion of how two different forms of the same game play out. Traditional Roto v. H2H Points is a much more valid and interesting argument…I hope that is what Derek meant by this post, but perhaps not. If not, then I apologize for even posting any comments … Read more ».
H2H increases the role of luck to the point where the fun diminishes. If I put together a strong, balanced team, I will still have weeks where they collectively play like garbage. If I put together a crummy team, I will still probably get one or two weekly wins. If those outlier weeks happen in September, the value of a great or awful team is irrelevant.
First and foremost, this comparison was based on H2H category leagues, not points leagues. I should have been more clear, but the comment about the same scoring system should have tipped everybody off.
The pts system is something I find intriguing, but I have limited experience with. Thanks for the post and clarification. My sincere apologies in carrying on a line of conversation comparing H2H points leagues and traditional roto as opposed to what you were actually referring to. Derek — H2H is just more exciting.
I do have a response to one of your criticisms: Most people who play H2H use cumulative points and a broader range of statistics than the 5X5 categories familiar to rotisserie players. My league has over 30 point producing categories, and the highest total score at the end of the week wins. Why head-to-head? Donald Trump. You can flag a comment by clicking its flag icon.

Vote Up 1 Vote Down. Guys, This discussion has gone in an unfortunate direction. James Dickson. That and your team can legitimately be dead and pointless 2 months into the season, if not sooner I prefer playing with happy idiots who can nonetheless beat me due to stupid luck.
Roto is no-go. John K. BTC What on earth are you talking about, chief? So… try again perhaps? King Rat. Josh Shepardson. In roto, you don't have to worry about that; you'll always be rewarded for a good performance.
You avoid conflicts when comparing strength of schedules. There's a lot of luck involved in H2H. Who knows what team will struggle or go off from week-to-week. It's very possible for a team to keep getting lucky wins. It's not nearly as exciting. If you're a fantasy junkie like me, you love talking smack to your opponent each and every week. It's hard to do that when you don't have a single enemy. It is less favorable for teams making a late push.
If you're not near the top at the All-Star Break, you're not mounting a comeback. You play a different manager every week. You have as many statistical categories as your commissioner decides. You earn a point for every category you win.
For example, if you have higher totals in runs, home runs, RBI, wins and strikeouts, you get five points. If there are 10 categories then your record is , barring no ties occurred. It's more like playing real baseball. When you play the real game, you played one single opponent at a time.
