I followed Grey's pitching rankings and imploded. I don't blame him though, last year's pitching was unbelievably random.

The Pussy Boss posted:Hot take: I'd draft Kershaw at 1.1 in standard leagues. Borderline game-breaking talent and I would be loving thrilled if he dropped to me in the late first round. Nooooooooooo I got Hendricks super late in my draft and he ended up being the best pitcher last year. Three years ago I went super pitcher heavy, which was nice, but having dead bats is the most frustrating experience, even moreso than dead pitching.

I still think going after Schwarber for your catcher position is hurting your value. Schwarbers going in the 4th/5th in most drafts this year probably and Grey from razzball has him projected as a 81/26/90 guy with a bad average. I'd much rather wait a bit until the 9th or 10th round to go after Lucroy or Posey and just lose out on a handful of dingers.

Is Xander really not getting that much hype this year? I see him going in the third in yahoo and I thought I'd have to spend an early 2nd on him.

ROCK THE HOUSE M.D. posted:Well, he's got 5 other shortstops ahead of him: Machado, Seager, Turner, Correa, Lindor. I think he's going to be better than Seager the Younger this year because Corey's BABIP was way too high for me to trust him again. I just wish Xander could hit more HRs but I guess that's why I'm targeting Story this year.

MinibarMatchman posted:can't believe I had Mookie, Donaldson, Kinsler, and Rizzo on the same loving team last year and still got 3rd place. I'm never going to have a better goddamn batting lineup than that. My first three picks were Harper - Marte - Betts. If Harper had the year he was supposed to have  Also Older Seager - Younger Seager - Trea Turner - Hosmer - Wilson Contreras as my infield. My pitching was supposed to be super top tier secret guys from Grey's list and they all took turns melting down for 7+ runs a game. I also traded Kyle Hendricks away for Zach Grienke D:

Moneyball posted:What's your auction strategy? Go 95% hitting and $1 pitchers? Corner the market on a stat? Go all in on a few high dollar players, filling out the rest with cheap guys? Or cobble something together like I did. drat that's a really nice team, you're probably selling one of your pitchers midway through the season for a bat tho

Honestly last year's pitching was ridiculous. Pitchers would go out and have a decent sub 3 era game then get absolutely demolished the next game. My H2H team died in the playoffs with a legit 9 era for the week despite my ridiculous bats, and my roto team was complete trash because I didn't know who was going to gently caress me that day. It felt like every week was set off on a sour note because a Monday night pitcher on my team would get shellacked.

Owning Carlos Martinez this year is gonna be awesome. The most important drafting rule in fantasy is always spend your first starter spot on a mid tier spanish pitcher right next to always roster a jewish player for good luck

The Pussy Boss posted:You obviously won this trade, but I don't think you fleeced the other guy that bad. I expect .300 and 30 bombs from Corey Seager this year, and that's being conservative, I think he's got more power than that. Maybe not in 2017, he's still so young, but soon. Wasn't Seager's babip through the roof last year?

The Pussy Boss posted:I mean, he's a top prospect in a great lineup, but then again he's projected for 10 HR and 10 SB. Maybe that's the projection systems being conservative, IDK, is he supposed to have more power and speed than that? Razzball has him leaning towards 15 hr/20 sb which is still really good considering he's supposed to be a high contact guy. Probably better than a lot of junk out there. On a side note I wish only Grey did whacky analysis and Razzball had some more solid writers. Everyone besides Grey seems to be Grey fanboys who desperately try to throw puns into every sentence.

I'm one of those guys who sends out feeler trades to get the conversation going. It's not an insult it's just a poke to gauge interest before cutting. There's more than a few waiver wire guys I'd rather pick up in a trade than compete with other people to get. Anyway could explain why no one will respond to any of my trades in the goon league
