Not sure what country theme I'm going with this season in HGH and Centaur Paintings. Thinking maybe the Dominican Republic but every team will just be a car accident joke.

I just saw that JRam only played 17 games at 2B last year, so ESPN took away his 2B eligibility. Looks like I'm gonna try starting a million 3B again this year!

There are four spots available in the Fire and Forget league, if anyone would like to join. Draft is at 2PM Central on Sunday. It's a twelve team roto.

Roster and Scoring:


For those unaware, the Fire and Forget league is a league where your team is locked after the draft and you just hope you did a good job. Last year came down to the wire as our eventual winner ran out of innings with a couple weeks to go and only barely held on as the teams behind him kept accumulating pitching stats.

Positions are capped at 162 games apiece and pitching is 1400 total innings, which I think most teams didn't really come up against.

PM me or drop your e-mail in here and I will send you an invite.

Oy, I did not notice the time of the draft on this one. I'm renovating my basement and it's taking all of my free weekend time. 3pm on a Sunday is prime construction time. I almost certainly would not be able to draft. If you need my spot for someone else, feel free to boot me out.

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:





Thoughts? Am I crazy for not keeping Kershaw?

Keeping 12 players, I'm definitely looking at Robles over Diaz.

I had my draft today, and afterwards, I tried trading with my buddy. However, after I offered Rizzo & Strausburg for his Soto & Marquez, I talked myself out of making the deal.

Anyways, here's my team. It's a 5x5 league that counts OBP instead of AVG. I also went in with no prep.

1. (10) Bryce Harper (Phi - OF)
2. (11) Jose Altuve (Hou - 2B)
3. (30) Gerrit Cole (Hou - SP)
4. (31) Anthony Rizzo (ChC - 1B)
5. (50) Trevor Bauer (Cle - SP)
6. (51) Eugenio Suárez (Cin - 3B)
7. (70) Stephen Strasburg (Was - SP)
8. (71) Blake Treinen (Oak - RP)
9. (90) Eloy Jiménez (CWS - OF)
10. (91) Willson Contreras (ChC - C)
11. (110) José Peraza (Cin - SS)
12. (111) Kirby Yates (SD - RP)
13. (130) Nomar Mazara (Tex - OF)
14. (131) Josh Hader (Mil - RP)
15. (150) Tyler Glasnow (TB - SP,RP)
16. (151) Cody Allen (LAA - RP)
17. (170) Fernando Tatis Jr. (SD - SS)
18. (171) Will Smith (SF - RP)
19. (190) Gregory Polanco (Pit - OF)
20. (191) Kyle Freeland (Col - SP)
21. (210) Mychal Givens (Bal - RP)
22. (211) Austin Meadows (TB - OF)
23. (230) Sean Newcomb (Atl - SP)

I drafted pitching higher than I usually do. I also tried to do IcePhoenix's strategy of a few strong starters mixed with strong relievers. Tried is the key word. I closed my eyes as I picked Bauer.

Yo, go back and pray your buddy still takes this offer. Soto is potential top 5-10 player, Rizzo is... not. Stras has a better floor than Marquez, but (and this feels weird to say) probably a lower ceiling.

Also Bauer is going to be real good this year.

I just traded Cody Bellinger for Tatis jr and Paddack in our Dynasty Lite league.

Is there some German word for terrified and elated? Elatified?

(This could really go any way. If Bellinger actually can hit LHP, as his HR off Bum last night shows, he could be an MVP caliber player.)

You're not wrong. Other than catcher, 1B is probably the shallowest position this year.

I would hold with Walker and hope. He was a pretty good prospect for power, so the HRs very much should be real. I wouldn't expect the avg to continue, though.

Corey Seager is not an upgrade at SS. Hader is not guaranteed to keep accumulating saves. They use him in a fireman's role.

In short, I don't like that trade for you. 1B is too shallow to trade away Abreu for cheap. I bet if you shopped him or Goldy around, you could find much better.
