DeGrom may be an exception because I imagine there is going to be a lot of hesitancy in bidding him way up (and for good reason, imo). Hard to gauge what's "cheap" for DeGrom, honestly.

If Nola's $47 is the standard price, DeGrom was cheap last year at $51. He was typically valued by the market at $10-$15 more than Nola. Add in the inflation that you'd need to get to those prices and, wow, DeGrom was super cheap in your league. Which apparently you don't want this year.

And by "like this" I mean a guy who, if healthy, could very easily be the #1 fantasy producer in baseball, but also a guy for whom that if is a very big if. The risk at that price point is so high. I've been burnt by high priced pitchers before, so I doubt I land him, even though he could easily out earn that $50 price tag, depending on your inflation rate.
For me, it comes down to these two questions: can you win in 2022 and if so, how much risk do you think you need to take to win in 2022? For me, the ideal landing spot for Degrom is a good team that needs someone who could be the best pitcher in baseball to really be a contender. He is not ideal for a clear favorite who should mitigate risk as much as possible, and he should not be bought by a rebuilding who has no chance of winning, because even if he is great early, his trade market might be depressed due to the potential for injury and that money would be better spent on safer players you can trade down the line.

Low to mid-30s, I'd go there. At about $35 in an auction, I'm out on DeGrom.---------------------------------------------
