These drafts are very subjective so depends a lot of how the aggressive the owners are at the top (and with Andy at 1:1 it’s aggressive right now!). I remember the year I took Acuna at 1.10. He was my 3rd pick at that point as I took Senzel 1.1 and the great Kevin Maitan at like 1.4. Oops...Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostComment

Thanks man but you’re too kind. This league is full of sharks.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostAnytime you deal with the best owner in the league--you're always second guessing

I haven't done a ton of research but it looked like possibly a drop off after three....but there are certainly guys who I expect to be available after the third pick that I like a lot.Originally posted by Big Tymer View Post---------------------------------------------

Someone in this league will pick Dominguez high. Then there are also 4 from the draft I like a lot but Bleday is one of them and I can see how that archetype might not be for everyone. He’s more of a Benintendi type than loud tools but he’ll be up quickly.Comment

Just made a trade--I wanted to avoid getting into a bidding war for another top arm at the draft so deal Orvelis Martinez for a $46 Verlander. That solve the Cueto/Luchessi debate IMO. I'm now set going into the Draft with the following:
Grandal $2b
Franmil $11b
J. Ramirez $12/2020
Didi $10a
Santander $3a
Clevenger $6/2020
E Diaz $7/2020
Lamet $2a
Verlander $46a
Berrios $9/2020
It leaves me with about $158 at the auction, but I'm pretty set on the pitching side of things.

It's fine. I guess there's something to be said for certainty if you didn't think you had a keeper with actual profit, but given that Verlander was 46 last year and did what he was supposed to and got a year older, I can't imagine him having gone for more.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

That’s a dominant pitching staff in a league this deep. Heck, Verlander, Clevinger, Berrios and Lamet are a good top 4 for a 12-team league. You have some serious hitting to buy, but it’s not like you don’t have enough cash to strongly augment your team. I’m very interested to see your team post auction - and good luck!I'm just here for the baseball.

I see your point, but I struggle at auctions going the extra buck for pitching. I just can't pull the trigger. I wanted my pitching to be in the bag so I can go after hitting, which I have no issues paying toe extra buck or two. And I'm sure I'll need to.Originally posted by mjl View Post

Yep and that is why I think it was a good move.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View Post

Well it looks like I have to drop Verlander. I just can't seem to find a way to justify keeping him at that salary with the lat strain. I'll go into the auction with more money but only 9 players.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
