Breakout: Dansby Swanson
Bust: Blake Snell
Bounceback: Carlos Correa

Doubt many of you have heard of it but I play APBA Baseball (similar to Strat-o-mat but I find it much better); Involved in two 20-team leagues with others across US/CAN. Essentially it takes fantasy baseball 1 step further as you maintain your rosters from year to year and actually play and manage 81 out of the 162 games (the other 81 are managed by a micro manager vs the other team and send in results). Put together line ups, manage in game situations, hit & run/steal, etc. Rookie drafts, etc. Constitution regarding restrictions for post-season play, etc. Pretty in depth if you're an avid Baseball fan.

Those are the websites just for the two leagues I'm in; in case anyone wants to check it.

I've been playing Apba for ~15 years now; they do have multiple sports but I'm a Baseball fanatic at heart.

Is the actual site; they have every sport but Baseball is by far the most popular on the message boards they have on the site. There's actually a decent amount of people who play.

Swanson was the 1st overall pick a few years ago; hasn't hit much so far but he's due to breakout.

I love it; you are essentially the GM/Manager vs 20 other people (there's other leagues that have more/less people; I just prefer 20). Although a lot of the people are older than I am (30); there's a pretty big online player base with many many online leagues with other managers from around the world. You handle all in game decisions, pulling pitchers, rosters, lineups, rotations, etc along with rosters/trades/cuts/rookie draft picks, etc. It's a Baseball simulation that when you actually play all 162 games; stats come out pretty realistic to what Baseball players did that year.
