fawning deference posted:In a keeper league it's definitely different, and it's different for top 5 prospects most of the time. In this case, all Riley Greene will cost me is a waiver priority and his potential is one of the best players in baseball within a couple of seasons. No risk, limitless upside. All according to FanGraphs: 2021 Top 5 : Wander Franco MacKenzie Gore Adley Rutschman Randy Arozarena Jarred Kelenic 2020 Top 5: Wander Franco Gavin Lux Mackenzie Gore Jo Adell Adley Rutschman 2019 Top 5: Vlad Guerrero Jr Wander Franco Fernando Tatis Jr Forrest Whitely Victor Robles 2018 Top 5: Shohei Ohtani Ronald Acuna Vlad Guerrero Jr Victor Robles Fernando Tatis Jr 2017 Top 5: Yoan Moncada Andrew Benintendi Amed Rosario Dansby Swanson Austin Meadows I was curious so I looked back the last 5 years per FanGraphs rankings. Definitely a mixed bag. Some obvious wins, but even there players like Wander, Vlad Jr, or Tatis took a few years to bring back value. I think like you said, it all comes down to cost. Late in a draft as a lottery ticket sure, but I wont spend a lot or use a top 15 pick on prospects personally.

So I drew first pick in a weekly H2H. I assume Ohtani right? I haven’t done fantasy baseball in 4-5 years because of burnout so I’m getting back into one this year. So I go Ohtani at 1, snake draft, what can I expect at 16 & 17 (8 team league), or what should I target? Just go best available? Split a hitter and pitcher? Maybe I should do a mock draft tonight to get an idea of what to do.

If you go Ohtani then lay off drafting a pitcher for your next two picks, you could maybe even stretch a third pick before taking another pitcher. Way more difficult to get a good hitter than a good pitcher off the waiver wire.

EDIT: He can be used either way on ESPN, just not at the same time. So with a weekly league his worth might not be as high. Douchebag fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Apr 5, 2022 |

Weekly rosters really hurts Ohtani's value. First overall is between Juan Soto and Trea Turner as far as I'm concerned, and the choice comes down to how you feel about steals. Speaking of, I got first pick in my 12-tm 7x7 H2H league tonight:  Saves are a mess but I knew they were going to be, and this is the first time we've finished a draft in this league where I was thinking "Wow there are so many dudes left out there!" so either I'm getting better at this or I'm getting stupider and only time will tell which one it is. I already have eyes on dudes to fill the spots for Urias and Baz once they officially hit the IL. EDIT: Also realizing my rankings sheet is way higher on McMahon than any projection system, weird.

Pretty encouraging article about deGrom. From a 3rd party doctor (so not the clown Mets doctors) https://sports.yahoo.com/jacob-degrom-return-kind-production-204705224.html tl;dr: his injury should heal well and he should be back to full strength in 6-8 weeks and it's unlikely to re-occur.

I went with Ohtani, Turner fell to 8th and I almost got Trout for my 2nd pick but he went 15th. I stopped after 20 and let it go because I had something come up so it auto drafted from there. Also, it's a weekly league with daily lineup changes. So I can pitch Ohtani once a week and still get the DH spot from him the rest of the week. Sure he could jack 3 homers the day he pitches but oh well at least I get to maximize him as best as possible. Shohei Ohtani LAA, DH Kyle Tucker Hou, RF Manny Machado SD, 3B Whit Merrifield KC, 2B Lucas Giolito ChW, SP Trevor Story Bos, SS Julio Urias LAD, SP J.D. Martinez Bos, LF Carlos Correa Min, SS Jared Walsh LAA, 1B Will Smith LAD, C Charlie Morton Atl, SP Craig Kimbrel LAD, RP Aroldis Chapman NYY, RP Anthony Rizzo NYY, 1B Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Tor, LF Nathan Eovaldi Bos, SP Shane McClanahan TB, SP Austin Meadows Det, LF Joey Gallo NYY, LF Douchebag fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Apr 6, 2022 |

Wander Franco and Ryan Pressley for Corbin Burnes in a keeper league that highly emphasizes relievers with scoring for - W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, K/9?

I saw this guy could possibly be the Orioles closer... https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lopezjo02.shtml He has a career 6.04 ERA... going into his 7th MLB season.

I think Ohtani is the pick in h2h if he's both positions. He went #1 in the expensive league I'm in and the guy who took him was one of three people who knew what they were doing. We have a little extra weighted points to starters so it makes obvious sense in my league. I took Acuna early last year in the same league and he rivaled top SP starting points but I think with ESPN's scoring it's just smarter to take an elite pitcher and forget about it. Or you get into a league that lets you take Bichette in the 4th round like mine did.

So it’s super early and all, but is anyone else slightly concerned about Bichette? I haven’t seen anything about his slow start but that could be I’m just being impatient (yep) and there’s not anything really actionable to do anyway since you aren’t dropping or trading him I would just like him to hit the baseball and stop striking out a lot

Okay that person is silly. The questions of "is xx toast" in April are fun but ultimately also silly. Give your players time. Cold starts are normal and it's a long season. It's the opposite for dudes like Ian Happ or Steve Kwan who are doing totally unsustainable things.

Dropped Gallo (avg/obp/slg league) for Ward, immediate vibe shift, feels good. For personal reasons I'm hoping Gallo makes me regret it, but still.
