I would take Kershaw 1.1 in a points league, because often times a stud pitcher is unfair in that format, but otherwise take all the bats take bats, bats bats bats, all bats all the time bats

Anybody know a good site that breaks players down into tiers by position? Yahoo used to do it and it was a great template for me to build a cheatsheet (with my own adjustments of course because Yahoo is dumb). The idea of doing all that sorting on my own is so terribly daunting

Same league. Went a little lighter on the speed than I'd want to but I've got dingers for days, and thank god it's an OBP league because lol Fraizer. I really like my offense if Martinez and Dahl aren't borked. If Wacha and Ryu can give me anything, then I don't hate my pitching, but they'll probably both flop and it'll be stream city

Some weird things about this draft. It's a ten person head to head roto.
I drafted Harper at number 8 overall, Stanton in the 5th round and Felix Hernandez in the 18th.

That is only a small drop for Bryce but a huge drop in ADP for the other 2.

I think Stanton's ADP is around 38 so that's not actually that far of a drop, in a 10-teamer that's late 4th. Huge steal on Felix though


More importantly though, what the hell is head to head roto

I'm not too enthused about him in re-draft because I don't fully expect him to live up to his ADP because I hate picking pitchers before like the 7th, but I have him as a late keeper from last year and I'm all in. I'm expecting a mid-to-high fantasy #2 season from him. If he fell to me somewhere in the 6th, I think I'd be comfortable taking him as my first starter

Had my 10 team 7x7 (OBP+SLG/QS+K/9) keeper league draft today:

C: Perez
1B: Rizzo
2B: Altuve
3B: Healy
SS: B. Crawford
IF: Cano
OF: C. Gonzalez
OF: Springer
OF: Polanco
UT: Mazara
UT: Haniger
BN: Bell
DL: J.D. Martinez
DL: T. Murphy
NA: Moncada

SP: Kluber
SP: Arrieta
SP: Verlander
RP: Ramos
RP: Watson
RP: Holland
P: Shoemaker
P: Walker
BN: Glasnow
BN: Cotton
BN: Urias ( :( )
DL: Osuna

I've got 4 bench spots now, I'm looking to grab Wacha, Ryu, Moustakas, and someone else I haven't decided yet (possibly Amir Garrett to fulfill my homer lust). Between trades and keepers, I had like 4 picks between rounds 5 and 19, and I think I did pretty well considering that

Ryon Healy Dinger God is my only 3B and after DL/NAing guys post draft, I have 4 open roster spots. Is Moustakas worth a flier or will he just hit .230 and chip in some homers and make me feel like a tool for not making Wacha or Ryu my top waiver priority?

The best 3B on the wire otherwise probably like Saladino, Profar, Gurriel, Polanco, and Flores :geno:

What do y'all think about Tom Murphy? I've been pretty high on him the last two years. I legitimately think he has 25-30 HR power playing half his games in Coors, but he'd need 400+ PA to hit that and I don't think he gets it. He's got good, and improving, underlying numbers in his two (small sample size) call-ups; LD% was in the mid 20s, hard hit and HR/FB almost near 50%, and as far as I know, he's defense isn't so atrocious that he can't stick as a catcher without needing to move to the OF/DH. He's hurt now but I can't imagine the Rockies are going anywhere, so there should be incentive to at least give him a shot to prove he can be a every day catcher when he gets back, right? Does anyone think he's ready and can take the reigns? I grabbed him with my last pick in my keeper league and stashed him on the DL which is a pretty low-risk/high-reward gambit, but he's going to need to come out guns blazing for me to justify carrying two catchers and I'm not going to trade Perez unless I know I can conceivably replace him.
