To win a fantasy league title this year, it’s going to take a little more imagination and outside-the-box thinking than in the past. Since many pro athletes have said it helps to construct a mental picture of themselves accomplishing their goals, I’m going to see if I can imagine what an 82-game season might look like. Please … Gaze into my crystal bubble, where the season I began in early spring using the Dynasty League Baseball online simulation has now reached the 82-game mark.

A month into what would have been the 2020 regular season, we’re no closer to knowing when we’ll have meaningful baseball games this year – if at all.

An extended offseason isn’t making things easy for the many writers and broadcasters who make their living discussing the national pastime. The main questions fans want answered these days are when baseball will return and what it will look like when it does.

Any other year, this week would mark the high point of the sports calendar. But 2020 is not like any other year. The extended wait before opening day will give fantasy owners even more time to prepare for our championship quest. It’s just that now we have a new set of variables to consider.
