Had him as a keeper in the Goon league. Traded Eugenio Suarez for Alex Bohm and Andrew Vaughn. Hopefully they'll rake.

Did another today, and will probably do one sunday. drat off days and having nothing to do. Moncada at 87 is nice, dunno if It's a steal tho. I don't love your starting pitching but that's personal preference, I tend to prioritize top SPs. Some risk on this roster with guys like Myers, Lynn, Hanger, but I like the upside The Pussy Boss fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Mar 26, 2021 |

Fantasy baseballing again for the first time in like...8 years? Took over somebody's team in a friend's 14 team roto keeper league. Just drafted and feeling cautiously optimistic, but wondering where the main areas of potential improvement are (starting pitching seems a little spotty). Normal 5x5 scoring (with S+H instead of S). Noted keepers along with the round they were kept at. No NA slot so may potentially drop Adell and/or Torkelson at some point but figured they were worth a late round pick/few weeks of holding in a league like this. C S. Murphy 1B F. Freeman (K-1) 2B A. Gimenez 3B A. Rendon (K-3) SS M. Semien OF Y. Alvarez (K-16) OF M. Ozuna (K-12) OF T. Hernandez UT K. Hayes UT N. Senzel BN G. Hampson BN M. Margot BN L. Taveras BN J. Adell BN S. Torkelson P B. Woodruff (K-15) P S. Gray (K-11) P F. Montas (K-14) P S. Manaea P B. Singer P J. Odorizzi P A. Garrett P B. Treinen P Y. Garcia P V. Gonzalez

that is an ungodly good team for a 14-team league. if you have any issue it's your starters. you don't have any closers really, but those come and go so quickly. you're fine.

Hi everyone, Ive been playing points leagues for years, new league is H2H cat 5x5 with WHIP. I know that alot (most?) people punt at least one category. Ive gotten really good at finding players that get overlooked and are great for points leagues, but i guess im kind of wondering what to look for going in the opposite direction. Any tips appreciated, thanks!

I'm usually the guy that fills out his entire offense before even considering pitchers, and drafts for NSVH and Ks late, but I ended up with deGrom, Beuhler, Scherzer, Strasburg, and Hader in my top seven picks. The offense doesn't have many sexy names, but I think it can be at least functional.

Is Acuña still the 1.1 pick in a league that has the normal 5 hitting cats + OPS?

i would take soto in that league, no questions asked. i am taking soto 1 in standard 5x5 leagues as well to give you an idea of where i'm at with him. he has both a higher floor AND a higher ceiling than anyone else. i just can't get over that and have to take him.

I had the 1-1 pick in one league, and I took Acuna only because I wanted to try to lock in some SB but I had to really fight myself to not take Soto there. I probably should have gone with him, honestly. EDIT: haha it was the PL staff league, of course I would try to outsmart myself there.

I'm kind of down on Albies this year, but that's got more to do with his ADP than his actual talent necessarily. That said, 2B is tough this year so who's to say.

I'm with you on Soto. He is probably the best hitter in baseball now. I traded Trout for him in the Goon Keeper league  , super pumped about that. I have Soto FOREVERRRRR.new day, new draft. 1 more $20 league tomorrow night, then that's it. Here's tonight's $5 league:

Thanks for the advice, I got distracted by the Bama-UCLA game and I forgot to check the thread, I ended up with Acuna. But, the person who ended up with Soto is a Braves fan so I can easily trade with him, and maybe even have him throw in some back end reliever or bench hitter. I'll explore that tomorrow when I'm bored at work.

Also the good thing about doing a bunch of leagues is that one injury doesn't wreck your season. I'm pissed about the league where I drafted Mondesi high, but feel a little better about the leagues where I didn't get him.

Insanely valuable in a 5x5. a) he is insanely risk and always has been. anyone with that kind of risk needs to be bought at a discount, not a huge premium. b) so long as you draft four or five guys who can steal 10 or so, you're fine. go pick up berti or gimenez way later in the draft while you focus on reliable studs. c) he will not win you the category out right lmao. you'll still need to draft a couple of guys who can nab you 10 or so i'm sorry, but you're never going to convince me to draft high risk/high reward guys in the top 50. and with mondesi, i don't think his reward is THAT high. if i wanted to take some high risk/high reward guy in the top 50, it'd almost certainly be a pitcher. either way, the top 50 is reserved for reliability. get riskier as the draft goes along.

what a weird opinion! Is he a reliable/good hitter? Not really, but he's not a huge drain there, gets hot sometimes, and he leads the league in SB. I know he's polarizing and i don't think you really want to draft him too early. I had him in his breakout 2018 year and opted not to keep him. but "nigh-unrosterable" in h2h? He can literally win you a category single-handedly in h2h. In my 16-team league, the average SB for a whole fantasy team in a given week is about 4. He can carry that category for you many times, I've seen him do it! Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Mar 31, 2021 |

yea, i can see a case in h2h. i just only play roto so sorry for forgetting about h2h. i still wouldn't draft him above like...125 in h2h either. too risky and i really don't want to build around a guy like that. way, way, way easier to draft an all-around contributor in the first few rounds, then 5 or 6 guys who can reliably hit the ball and steal 5-10.

The average is 4 SB so I would rather get guys who are actually capable hitters and try to win weeks with 5-6. "Nigh-unrosterable" may be hyperbolic but he gets taken in the first what, 5 rounds? For a guy who may very well actively hurt you in every non-SB offensive category in any given week? No thanks.

One good thing about Mondesi in H2H is sometimes you'll be winning steals like 4-0 on Thursday because of him so you can bench him and play better AVG/HR guys. Also he was coming off shoulder surgery at the start of last season so that might've been why he started off so slow. I definitely think he was ranked way too high based on his past performance, but I kept him for pretty cheap. Just because you own him doesn't mean you drafted him near the 5th round.

I lean into the majority here in that it's much better, in my opinion, to draft a bunch of guys who can run a little bit and contribute than to take a one-category steals guy who is a horrendous hitter. When Mondesi is cold he's SO BAD and offers negative value in every other category, essentially.
