2019: Chris Paddack

[Gregg]

I tossed him early tonight. A 12-team NL-only. Most of the big names were kept or tossed out before. For reference, Scherzer went for $49, Kershaw $29, and Bumgarner for $30. Paddack went for $17.

Thanks Dane. Good reference.

I am keeping Scherzer 54 and Nola 29. Bum is kept at 24. Kershaw deGrom and Corbin are the best out there. Then we go to the Paddacks, Burnes, Hill etc. I need to pick up a starter or two it is obvious it will not be Paddack.

[Judge Jude]

I'm on record on over/under for Paddack IP for Padres at 100.

I'm on record on over/under for Paddack IP for Padres at 100.

I think the over/under should be 120.

I think the over/under should be 120.

Wager $20 with Judge on over.

[Judge Jude]

if he's healthy all season, 120 seems right. I'm accounting for him taking a couple of weeks off if he gets as much as a hangnail.

[The Dane]

Last draft tonight, a 12-team NL only ultra. Top SPs go in the high-30s, low 40s (Scherzer was kept at $41). Top SPs drafted tonight were Kershaw $30, Darvish $26, Archer $24, Quintana $24. I tossed out Paddack pretty early, just after the top SP were gone.

He went for $33 to the guy with no ace.

[Judge Jude]

that's real, and it's spectacular.

Awesome start to his MLB career.

[Judge Jude]

went for 'only' 15 in my auction today.

[Gregg]

He went for 18 in our NL only 12 team today.

[Ken]

I bought him at $21 today in a 15 team mixed keeper. Price was higher than I wanted to pay going in but pitching was extremely thin, and in a keeper league I love the upside long term.

[Teenwolf]

I bought him for $21 in 12 tm NL Only today. I had planned on going to $33, so I was thrilled to land him for $21. He was the 3rd toss after $22 Polanco and $13 Posey, so prices hadn't been established yet.

Darvish went $19, for comparison.

I feel like the ceiling on a double plus command SP is incredible. Look at Shane Bieber. I wanted to draft him as a farm guy last year, but all the gurus said he was too fringey, too hittable. I believe Paddack has a better repertoire than Bieber. $21 isn't the cheapest lottery ticket, but I think there's still room for profit.

[Judge Jude]

in how many innings, though?
the difference in Paddack's value in redraft vs keeper vs dynasty is exponential.
there are such IP issues here in 2019-2020.

in dynasty? oh, I'd be holding.

The thing is, how many innings can you expect from Maeda, Darvish, or Strasburg? For about the same cost, I prefer the unknown quantity over the known risks of vets in his price range. Adding in keeper value potential and $21 is a no brainer to me.

But I also paid like $26 last year for Scott Kingery, so what the hell do I know?

Lol Kingery — give you credit for owning up. We all do things like that.
