Mixed H2H Slow Draft in progress

[virgonomic]

14 team 5x5
4 mandatory keepers *
Up to 4 forever keepers #

I threw back Merrifield knowing I had the first pick. There was a run on closers in the 3 rounds I was idle but I liked Giles enough to take him with my next pick. I grabbed EE then Brantley then filled up my staff.

Any thoughts on my team so far and what to do with the remaining picks?

I'm not a huge Schoop guy. I'd rather move Merrifield there and get a different OF. I'd also be worried about your Ks/Wins given Hill and Stras' injury histories and Keuchel's free agency.

Thanks for chiming in. I wanted insurance for Tatis so I grabbed Schoop. Braun, Markakis, Eaton are the type of OF left. I like Schoop a bit more.

Lots of time for Keuchel to find a home. I do plan to fortify my rotation with some of my remaining picks. Good thing to keep in mind. There are lots of decent starters left.

I like Braun and Eaton, but also like Schoop, and I'd still take one of them, just for having cover everywhere.

I do want a bench bat or two, so I will take an OF at some point.

Eaton, Semien, Matz are all guys I like. I'd take any of them over Godley.

Thanks JC. I grabbed Matz and his good K rate for Godley.
