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?

I'd drop Smoak. Hampson is probably gonna be a super utility guy, he's gonna bounce around and get multi-positional eligibility.

If you wanna drop a guy with 40-50 SB potential I guess. He had six steals this spring last I checked.

You're probably like me and just forgetting poo poo. I had to look up Trevor RIchards after he had a good game last week because I didn't know anything about him. Later I saw I had him on my roster last year.

Pro Leagues are competitive. Everyone's done their research and if like, a prospect gets called up, someone adds him within minutes after the news breaks. They're fun leagues imo

Someone rank these prospects for me... Having trouble deciding if I should drop someone for Senzel.


Senzel, Hampson, McMahon (I have a feeling this is the correct ranking, or maybe Hampson first.)

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
In that league, I have Whit, Trout, Segura, Pham, and Pollock to go along with Hampson, so I'm probably good as far as speed goes. I have Winker and Gurriel to fill either Hampson or Smoak's spot. No big loss either way.

2019, I would probably rank them the exact opposite, but long term I think you have it right

I change my mind about Hampson and McMahon a lot but I definitely put Senzel first. I feel like current me is putting Hampson second.

Meet me in the Hall of Fame
8 team Keeper league, Keep up to 12, and they count as the first 12 picks of the draft for your team. If you pick fewer than 12, you get those draft picks. Standard 5x5. Here's what I figure on doing:

Not crazy at all, friend.


I might keep Robles or Votto over Albies though, he fell off a cliff in the second half.

From what I've been reading it sounds like McMahon will get the bulk of time at 2B and Hampson is gonna be the super util.

It also sounds like Senzel has won the CF job for the reds and could break camp with the team.

This one I havent bought yet until they actually say so. I guess I can afford to wait because my main draft is after the season starts, the 30th, but I'm still under the assumption that he'll be down a bit.

I steadfastly avoided Rich Hill all last year, even when he was on waivers. But I couldn't pass on him in round 22 or w/e this year, because what a great value!

Never again, lol.

In mock drafts, I kept getting Knebel and Hill because they offered sneaky value at their ADP, but when it came to drafts, people actually paid attention and I missed out on them.

I'm okay with that now

What's the deal with Matt Olson? I have him for a $2 keeper which I'm fine with but it seems like his hand injury is something more serious so I'm considering targeting another 1B early.

I'm hearing Scooter Gennett slipped in the field and couldn't walk off under his own power.
E: Obviously beyond scoot's value, this could make Senzel's opening day day roster decision veeeerry interesting.

yeah I'm worried he has a broken hamate bone which would really suck. I have him on my Trout team unfortunately, I was hoping to get a 3B around his range in the draft instead so I could put Carp at 1B.
