Draft moved back to 8;30 ET. All are welcome.

paxton's ADP is 172. i think he's a good person to snag in the 13th or 14th rounds just to ensure getting him

he had a .347 BABIP last season and marte was replaced at short by the significantly better segura, aoki replaced by the ENORMOUSLY better dyson, lee replaced by the better vogelbach

seattle's defense is very likely to be near the top instead of close to the bottom that they were last year

Yep, 2.80 FIP or the like. Real potential there.

- 2C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, CI, MI, 5OF, 9P lineups
- Set lineups twice a week (Mon-Thur, Fri-Sun)
- 5x5 standard roto, although we could use OBP/QS instead of AVG/W

Could start it whenever, draft usually takes 2-3 weeks if everyone is fairly active. Was thinking starting in mid-January and just doing it for $50 or something cheap

And yeah LABR is two catcher and while I cant call Posey value at #26, the other two going in the 4th round is real nice IMO. Catcher blows once you get past about 15-16 of them and they are rostering 30

Alekhine, you'll find YPL incredibly softer than the NFBC leagues. It's definitely trickier getting value in those drafts.
In terms of the whole 'he's on absolutely nobody's radar but has monster upside' or 2017's Trevor Story I give to you Domingo Santana

I was big on this guy last year but I think this year is the time you cannot not draft him. Dude has insane power, 3rd highest average exit velocity in the majors and a HR/FB that makes sense given how hard he smashes ****. His problem was that he didn't really hit THAT many fly balls so his home run total went completely under the radar

Look at last season on a month to month basis. Declining GB rate each month, 50% first half, 35% second half. HR/FB monstrous both halves. Yes, the sample is small, but he did demonstrate a change in approach in the 2nd half that translates unbelievably if it holds especially given he will almost certainly hit no lower than 4th in the opening day lineup

I was pretty disappointed by Domingo's day yesterday putting him on people's radar.

Didn't even notice that but ya that's annoying

Got him in the last round or as a pickup everywhere so far

would you guys drop one of nova/guerra for any of the following:
mchugh, hellickson, davies, lynn, triggs, folty, bauer, liriano
2017 Fantasy Baseball Thread Quote
03-04-2017 , 12:44 PM
I like a flyer on Liriano this year (based on previous levels, new league, reunited with successful catcher-partner Martin, strong finish to 2016) and don't have much faith in Guerra, but it's probably close.

03-04-2017 , 12:52 PM
I wouldn't drop nova for any reason

Certainly not for anyone listed

gsellman named for all intents and purposes the Mets #5. He's available in your league. Fix that

Obviously he ran really good in a short run last year but he is nonetheless a 9 k/9 candidate with low walks
