Gwyn already gave the differences in his thread but in case I'll keep it brief...
18 teams, keep forever, 5x5 BA and H+SV, 23 man starting rosters, 10 man rsv, 20 man farm system. You can change your lineups on Monday and Friday, Faab only runs once a week.
We did the KDS style to chose draft slots in both the major league and minor league draft. I drafted 12th in the major league and 5th in the minor league. I emphasized getting a top 5 slot in the farm draft as I really liked those first 5.
I definitely played a bit more for the now with some picks while trying to create a nice base of young anchors. As the draft fell to me most of my OF'ers are older so you will see I used my first 3 farm picks to get 3 OF'ers who I see as close to the big leagues.
Anyway I'll give you the first 10 rounds and then how the roster looks...
1.12 Trea Turner SS- Vlad went one pick in front of me so this was the pivot. He won't be fast forever, but hopefully for a good 7 years.
2.7 Gleyber Torres SS/2B- Really young and the power will play for a long time. 2 MI slots set for the long term.
3.12 Luis Castillo P- I wanted a pitcher here and Clevinger went right before me which made the options Castillo or Stras, I went for the younger guy though it was hard to pass Kris Bryan and Matt Chapman.
4.7 Stephen Strasburg P- Chapman and Bryant went, but the turn chose to go for Scherzer, Snell, and Nola so I was surprised that Stras came back. Marte tempted me but in the end I wanted two SP's that could be my anchors if healthy.
5.12 Max Muncy 1B/2B/3B- I thought about going Beni here, but I already own him in Lockdown so I wanted to diversify and Max could still be a multi-position guy in this league since it only takes 15 games. Either way reliable bat under 30.
6.7 Josh Hader RP- Heading to the turn I had Kershaw and Gallen as guys I was hoping would get back, but they both went including Gallen right in front of me.
I really do like Hader in this format as he will always gets Holds even if they move him out of the closer role and those K's, WHIP, and ERA are elite.
7.12 Tommy Pham OF - Needed an OF and even over 30 Pham was the top rated guy left when this pick came up. This is the portion of the draft where I started taking guys who could help me now.
8.7 Josh Donaldson 3B- 3B gets ugly pretty fast and while Donaldson is older he got a 4 year contract I think and he should continue to be productive for most of that.
9.12 Brandon Lowe 2B - Torres may not have that 2B elig. for long so I wanted to stay young in the MI so I could focus elsewhere in the farm draft. Yes the Rays are annoying and he might platoon but he is 25 and has been productive already.
10.7 Mitch Garver - 2 C league really changes the value of these guys and Garver is 29. I was looking at Grandal here but he went on the turn and Garver was the last catcher I had in a tier to take here so I jumped on it.
11.12 Luke Voit 1B

14.7 Andrew McCutchen OF

MINORS I'll write about the first 5 and list the rest...
1.5 Jared Kellenic OF- I was hoping someone would push Jason Dominguez into the top 4 and I'd have someone fall to me, but I love Kellenic and his power speed combo. He isn't far from the bigs and will replace one of my aging OF'ers soon.
2.14 Drew Waters OF - I wanted to diversify but with Bohm and Brujan gone I didn't see an option that helped me soon and I do believe in Waters. Maybe not a superstar ceiling but a regular who again has speed and power.
3.5 Trevor Larnach OF - I don't see a superstar here but I see a very solid major league bat who isn't far from helping. Take my very old OF and add these 3 in 2 years and I have fixed that issue a lot for the long term.
4.14 Shane Baz P - I really like the upside and sometimes you just want to own a guy and I didn't want to just wind up with all #3/4 upside SP's so this was a shoot for the moon pick.
5.5 Logan Gilbert P - A college arm who has had nothing but success so far. He should be able to help soon.
