A shortened Major League Baseball season would require fantasy baseball owners to take a different draft approach than in any previous year.
If a condensed schedule is agreed upon, fantasy owners have to get the most out of every single draft selection.
That requires more research into which pitchers can bolster rotations and keep weekly numbers as high as possible.
San Diego's Dinelson Lamet was going to be viewed as a sleeper selection in a full season due to the second-half performances he put in last season, and with owners looking for every advantage, his strikeout rate could be more valuable.
