If you draft before they happen yes and if you draft after no. There is no retroactive option for drafting afterwards like there usually is for drafting after the start of the season.

yeah, which is why I wanted to make sure the draft for F&F happened before those games, since there's no chance for you to actually make them up, what with the whole "and forget" part of the league

I really want to draft Voit, but I already have Torres and Andujar as keepers and don't want a third of my hitters being from one team. I might just go after him anyway and then and then see if I can trade one of the Yankees for an upgrade elsewhere. It all depends in how much it'll cost me though since it's an auction draft and in terrible at those.

Had my draft last night, then spent today sending desperate deals out trying to get guys I wanted but got scooped on, by now offering players i picked like 3 rounds earlier. Feels good

Any thoughts on keeping deGrom for a 3rd or Taillon for a 14th? My other two keepers in a Yahoo 10 Team are Acuna for a 12th and Snell for a 16th.

Can't go wrong with either, but I'd go with deGrom. The numbers he put up last year were just silly.

Voit is beginning to go earlier and earlier, so switch instead to Tatis Jr, Francisco Mejia, Jesus Luzardo, and Christin Stewart for your last pick bargains.

so i offered Eugenio Suarez (ranked 49) for German Marquez (109). he counters asking for Alex Bregman. lol

Really annoying because I took Suarez the round before Marquez, thinking i could get both, and almost did - Marquez went only two spots before my next pick in a 16-team league. guess I'm not getting him back this season :/

Jay Bruce could be a good cheap pickup. He hit 33 HR in 2016, 36 in 2017, then he played hurt for the first half of last year so he was lovely. But he went on the DL for 2 months and when he came back he hit 6 home runs in the last 5 weeks. He's also a lefty so he's a good platoon guy. And he has a 1.252 OPS in spring.

2.23 Trevor Story
3.26 Whit Merrifield
4.47 Cody Bellinger
5.50 Patrick Corbin
6.71 Jameson Taillon
7.74 Nelson Cruz
8.95 Victor Robles
9.98 Michael Conforto
10.119 Josh Donaldson
11.122 Zack Wheeler
12.143 Raisel Iglesias
13.146 David Robertson
14.167 Kyle Hendricks
15.170 Garrett Hampson
16.191 Eduardo Rodriguez
17.194 Ramon Laureano
18.215 Austin Meadows
19.218 Domingo Santana
20.239 Alex Reyes
21.242 Jesus Luzardo
22.263 Seranthony Dominguez
23.266 Ryan McMahon
24.287 Brian Anderson
25.290 Welington Castillo
26.311 Matt Strahm
27.314 Lewis Brinson
28.335 Domingo German

Love my speed upside, but felt like I had to reach for Corbin since pitching was going fast. Can't believe Donaldson fell that far, 3B is a wasteland.

Bullpen is a dumpster fire but you can always grab saves on the WW if you're quick. The only other decent team has a stacked offense but punted W and K. I think I'll be fine.

About Hudson? Not a super high K rate, but good ratios, gets tons of grounders and I think there is room for growth in the strikeout department.

In redraft I want to say Hampson? Isn't he going to be splitting time at 2B and probably be on the short end of the platoon?
