Astrology Camp Battles: Capricorn

2016's runner up Capricorn Goats is the latest in a series of five separate signs who went up against the four-time League Champion Libra Scales in the finals. With both a Cy Young Award winner and league MVP on their roster, they have the top end to do it again. But will poor versatility be an issue when trying to maximize a one-sided offense? Find out below!

Have you ever played in a 2 DH fantasy baseball league? It can be fun to just load up on firepower at the top end, but I never really enjoyed it, because it's never something you'd see on the field in a real baseball game. But if there was a 2 DH Astrology league, it would be pretty sweet to see home run threats Edwin Encarnacion (43), Hanley Ramirez (83), and Albert Pujols (114) hit back to back to back... And especially considering all those Dominican born mashers would hit behind last year's NL MVP Kris Bryant (4). Unfortunately EE and HanRam occupy the only 1B and DH slots, but were there another available, Phat Albert would have some competition from Victor Martinez (184)





SP4 and SP5
With a top three in the rotation in the top 100 players in the game, you're starting from strength. When you consider that number jumps to seven starters in the top 120, and you realize there's bound to be some competition in the back end. I'm almost compelled to go by the numbers here, as former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel ranks 101 and recently extended Danny Duffy ranks 102. Consider also that these two aforementioned hurlers are lefties. The two RIGHTIES who stand next in line - Kevin Gausman (117) and Danny Salazar (120) - could both be poised for breakout years in 2017. 

I'm going Duffy and Gausman, on the strength that overall fantasy points total in a given season is the best predictor of future opint totals in future seasons.
