I can never bring myself to draft guys like Mondesi. The SBs are obviously enormously valuable but he's just not that good of an actual player thus far. His career OBP is .284! Those are the kinds of guys you target in the middle rounds but Mondesi is being drafted as a top 20 or 30 guy.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

I was actually debating between Tucker and Albies, since I kinda hate most of the 2B options. So when Ozzie made it back to me he was an easy pick in round 3.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostThe Tucker selection kind of surprised me, not that he doesn't have talent, he does. But I would have thought that he might last another couple of rounds, I guess that this just shows that you can't sleep in this league and expect the expected.
Same with the Mondesi pick...I was thinking maybe 3rd round, and he went early in the 2nd. I don't think that he hurts you in any way, but now you have to construct a roster to kind of guard against a .230 BA with 600 at bats. Not impossible to do, but a little more of a challenge.

Originally posted by Pauly View PostMondesi seems like a mid second rounder to me, but note that I paired him with freeman, and the steals are tremendous man.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostOh, agree 100%. Mondesi could give 25 homers and 60 plus steals...he's got that kind of ability. I really like him, but #18 is as high as I've seen him go...but go big or go home.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Originally posted by Bene Futuis View PostI'd give much better odds that he loses his job altogether than he puts up those numbers. But yeah, probably highest risk highest reward player in all of fantasy. You're going to have to put big $ in auctions or high picks in snake drafts to get the guy, that's for sure. I won't be owning him at the prices he commands.
Also, Mondesi ADP since Jan 11 is 19th and earliest pick is 12, so 18th is right in line.
Also who are ya picking because Ive got my guy ready to go

Originally posted by Pauly View PostObviously the fact that I jumped him to take the SB leader means I disagree with this, but what outside of injury makes you think he would ever lose his job on the team he is playing for? It isn't like Nicky Lopez is breathing down his neck to take the job. His security is one of his big positives. Im being constructive here and not defensive, because I want to know why you think this, or maybe it was just hyperbole? Or maybe it was just you dont think he will hit 25 HR (which is fine btw)?

Edit: To be fair, it does appear that he plays good defense. That could keep him going for some time even though he doesn't bring a lot else to the table.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.
