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.

Am I the only one here not drafting Mondesi? (where he's ranked at least) Not that I don't believe he will perform, but he has a Jonathan Villar 2017 vibe to me. I'm sure the underlying stats aren't as bad, but I guess I'm letting someone else gamble.

I've drafted Villar and Buxton in previous seasons and I don't learn from my mistakes.

Did ESPN change it so you can't post a photo as the league manager's message? So boring. I have this awesome photo of a plantain I wanted for our Dominican League.

In a league that has XBH and OPS for scoring, would you rather keep Jose Altuve or Kris Bryant?

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.

I'm all in on Adalberto Mondesi this year. Monster fantasy season incoming. I will reach for him in drafts without hesitation.

He was really good last season and I had a lot of hype about him, then I realized I have Machado as a keeper in many leagues. If I have no SS then yeah I'd reach for him, too.

I would take Soto and Marquez for Strausburg and Rizzo, but then again I'm really high on both Soto and Marquez and kind of indifferent toward Rizzo. You're already set on OFs, what would your 1B replacement be? It's a shallow position, unfortunately.

I felt really sad not keeping Correa this year because I was a huge believer in him and his rookie year he was a godsend. But SS is now stacked as a position, and he's waaaaaaaaaay too young to be having neck and back problems. That seems like a huge red flag to me.

How could ESPN mess up their fantasy site so badly? It used to take me one button press to see if a batter or pitcher was right or left handed.
So many things changed, wish they had left it alone.

It takes a while for their screens to load now, and they don't have a lot of the old features. It is really quite confounding. I don't get who thought this was all a good idea.
