I just did one of those Yahoo Snap Draft leagues, it was pretty fun and crazy. Lester went 13th overall, Puig 9th overall, Darvish was drafted, someone took Felix with Stanton and Goldy still on the board, etc. I'm pretty drat happy with my team.

Why did you let me know about on-demand drafts  This team I am trying a theory I've worked on in H2H for a while which is focusing on non-closer relief to shore up my pitching staff with some upper-middle class SP. The league is shallow enough that I took shots on risk/reward hitters to drop within the first few weeks if they don't pan out. Both FantasyPros draft analyzer and the built-in Yahoo draft analyzer put it in first but the back-end of my batters are junk and I am waiting for one to fall off to switch to a 2:3 batter:pitcher bench ratio. It's making me wonder about my team evaluation skills since I don't like what I have but both analyzers love it.

I wonder if these Yahoo On-Demand Drafts are a soft-launch for how they are doing Pro Leagues this year. It makes sense if they aren't opening until April and the season starts April 5.

Then again I had a league last year that literally left Cueto like till the second to last round so go figure. That SP/RP rotation loving owns, though. What rounds are Big Bad Harv going in lately? I'm going all in for hitters earlier than I usually do so I wanna try to make a run for Harv as the ace if I skip the early big names.

Rizzo, Lester, Soler, Castro, Bryant, Arrieta, Baez. He also took Rondon and Montero later in the draft.

I took over the last place team in a league with 20 keepers out of 26 roster spots. Were drafting soon, and I'm just not sure how far into the future I should be looking for prospects. Any advice?

Any advice? It probably depends on how bad your team is and the settings, but I would never devote a spot to a guy who isn't likely to play in 2015 in the majors. I'd have at most 2 minor leaguers and only if they were top 10 prospects. It's better to try to find guys off waivers who might turn out to be top talents instead of keeping prospects as dead weight for two years. See guys like Goldschmidt/Gomez/Altuve/Rizzo who were lesser prospects at best but are all top 15 players now. And look at guys like Profar/Myers/Tavares who were #1 prospects and haven't amounted to anything.

Any advice? Depends on the keeper settings. Do you just keep 20, or does it cost a draft pick/auction $$ to keep a guy? If the latter, does the pick or $$ inflate every year? Drafting a prospect that's a year or two away for $1 makes more sense if he'll still cost $1 in 2017. You'll also need to decide how many roster spots you're willing to devote to prospects who won't contribute in 2015. Alternately you could tank this season and draft a shitload of prospects. Doesn't sound fun to me but it might be the best longterm strategy in a league with so many keepers.

Any advice? As others have said, it depends on the settings, but personally if it was a last place team and you're keeping that many players then your team is probably terrible and I'd load up on prospects. Then you can either keep them for a year or two down the road or try and trade them for players that are real good right now. IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Mar 16, 2015 |

I mean Myers had one bad year where he was dealing with an injury but, before that, he had one year where he was rookie of the year after being incredibly hyped. I have a spot open in a casual ESPN H2H 5x5 12 team league with OBP instead of AVG (3 keepers starting this season). I'm trying to recruit people who want to make trades and want to be a little involved as the league and help it develop as it current has a few of my friends who want to develop the league into something and a few of our friends who we have to convince not to draft Freddie Freeman right away. The draft is tentatively set for this Sunday afternoon but may get pushed back to the evening. tadashi fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Mar 17, 2015 |

Any preference between Goldy and Stanton? I'm in a 12 team snake, standard H2H scoring, picking 3rd. Seems to be a good smattering of OFs in the early 3rd round which makes me lean to Goldy.

I will possibly have spots open in a 12-14 team head to head keeper league with a standard draft. It's 7x7 with the norman 5x5 with OPB, SLG, K/BB, and Holds added. Post or IM me with your email. If my initial invites haven't joined by tomorrow I'll open it up to first come, first served. Does Yahoo let you post a league password anymore so you can just post that instead of emailing people?

Santana is not really untradeable but the best I can give you is never look at a trade as player(s) for player(s), look at the entire roster of the guy you're trying to trade with.

Seems to be a good smattering of OFs in the early 3rd round which makes me lean to Goldy. Assuming that's 5 OF, then I would go with Stanton since the league is trying to fill 60 starting outfield spots and 1B is a lot deeper than OF if you look at it from that perspective, in my opinion. I mean there are a lot of ways to get cute in the outfield but I'd rather take a sure thing since you don't have to worry about a budget.

From memory, I think he hits for more power than Donaldson, as reflected in his SLG. I think he could be a top-20 player this year. --- Does anyone have a preference for the least amount of people that could play in a league for it still to be fun? I am trying to start a league for friends, but I don't know a large amount of people who are watch baseball (fewer who pay attention to more than just a few names on the Jays), so I am trying to figure out the minimum amount of players I would want. I figure 8 is a good number, but I may only be able to get 6. Any thoughts?
