I think for consistent roto success, you need to be a good roto player *and* watch a lot of games ... at least that's my excuse, anyway :-)
The comments here sure help ... as does a subscription to BP ...

I have a couple of websites that give me specific information, but tracking all of the players (even though I'm an NL only guy) just seems difficult.
Any favorite websites?

a) You can't get everyone you want and you can either cry over not getting Lombardozzi in both leagues or rejoice in getting AJ Ellis and being in the money.
b) "Having to get someone" does not mean they will be good and so there is no point in being disappointed over people that I "had to get" but didn't. See: Billingsley, Minor, JD Martinez, etc.
c) Sometimes grudgingly kept players turn out good: see Pagan, Ethier.
d) Sometimes players you "had to get" and did turn out poorly: Cuddyer (at 32, not overall) and Gee.
e) Don't carry over 8th inning guys unless they have a good chance of becoming the closer (i.e. the Bastardo rule).
f) The best way to win is to keep the low end players with a lot of value and the high players that are at or close to value and then wait for players to come to you in the auction.

125Ks plus associated wins from a league average starter
or
20 saves plus associated peripherals from a league average closer who inherits a job from a deposed closer?

The struggle I have is how many of those spots to devote to the majors vs minors in the reserve draft AND then after the reserve draft is over, especially in a league where you can FAAB people for less than you have to pay them if you get them in the reserve draft.
