Took a few years off from most of my leagues post-pandemmer but I'm back in and up to four leagues for now. Had a TGFBI satellite draft back in early February (hence the injured/AAA players):

code:
Tucker, Kyle		1	6	OF
Alcantara, Sandy	2	25	P
Arenado, Nolan		3	36	3B
Smith, Will		4	55	C
Bieber, Shane		5	66	P
Bogaerts, Xander	6	85	SS
Doval, Camilo		7	96	P
Lowe, Nathaniel		8	115	1B
Peralta, Freddy		9	126	P
Happ, Ian		10	145	OF
Lowe, Brandon		11	156	2B
Nimmo, Brandon		12	175	OF
Detmers, Reid		13	186	P
LeMahieu, DJ		14	205	CI
Brown, Seth		15	216	OF
Vargas, Miguel		16	235	CI
Myers, Wil		17	246	OF
Lange, Alex		18	265	P
Syndergaard, Noah	19	276	P
Garcia, Luis		20	295	UT
Maeda, Kenta		21	306	P
Hughes, Brandon		22	325	P
Olivares, Edward	23	336	OF
Senzel, Nick		24	355	OF
Paxton, James		25	366	P
De La Cruz, Elly	26	385	SS
Trevino, Jose		27	396	C
Robles, Victor		28	415	OF
Turang, Brice		29	426	SS
Lugo, Seth		30	445	P
Feel like I would re-do the Will Smith pick and some of my late darts, but I still like the value I got in the Detmers to Lange portion there. First FAAB run Sunday will be crucial.

Dynasty draft tomorrow night, then two more drafts on Saturday and next Wednesday :doit:

Joined a 20-team dynasty league (keep up to 23 players, everyone in Fantrax pool available) with a H2H 6x6 (HR, RBI, OBP, SBN, TB, RC) (QS, K, ERA, WHIP, S+H, HR/9). Definitely a new format for me. Took over a very bad roster, and before the draft I dealt Lance Lynn for Ke'Bryan Hayes and Andres Munoz. Still I only ended up keeping six guys, so I had the first four picks of the snake draft, then was only drafting with two other teams for the next few rounds as well. After the draft and some add/drops I ended up with this:

code:
Keibert Ruiz		WSH	C
Spencer Steer		CIN	1B,2B,3B
Ozzie Albies (K)	ATL	2B
Ke'Bryan Hayes (K)	PIT	3B
Oswald Peraza		NYY	SS
Jake Fraley		CIN	OF
Kyle Stowers		BAL	OF
Masataka Yoshida	BOS	OF
Isaac Paredes		TB	1B,2B,3B
Luis Campusano		SD	C
Brandon Nimmo (K)	NYM	OF

Jackson Merrill		SD	SS
Colson Montgomery	CHW	3B,SS
Ceddanne Rafaela	BOS	SS,OF
Dylan Crews		(N/A)	OF

Kyle Bradish		BAL	SP
Andrew Heaney		TEX	SP
Ryne Nelson		ARI	SP
Trevor Rogers		MIA	SP
Max Scherzer (K)	NYM	SP
Adbert Alzolay		CHC	RP
Camilo Doval		SF	RP
Hunter Harvey		WSH	RP
Andres Munoz (K)	SEA	RP
Evan Phillips		LAD	RP
Aaron Ashby		MIL	SP,RP
Tylor Megill		NYM	SP

Bobby Miller (K)	LAD	SP,RP
Yoshinobu Yamamoto	(N/A)	SP
Brandon Pfaadt		ARI	SP,RP
My pitching is ugly but I'm used to 12- and 15-team leagues so hopefully it's not as bad as I think. I like my offense well enough, and there are some decent OF on waivers still, but I didn't prioritize 1B and it punished me in the draft. There's just... not that many good 1B, and I waited too long for too many teams to jump into the draft and get them. Live and learn. Gonna try to flip Scherzer and my closers at some point, nowhere to go but up!

With shallow leagues I want to wait until the last round on catcher, but some dingus was on auto and took four catchers so I had to jump in and get Moreno. :argh: Otherwise great value for me, no one took SPs until R3 when Burnes and Scherzer went right before my spot, so I felt like I had to snag Cole there. Then a ton of SPs went and I was trying to zag with the Clase/Carroll picks. And since it was my last league I snagged a bunch of guys I wanted at least one share of, like the entire Lynn/Ward/Greene/Vaughn stretch there.

Jonathan India or Jeff McNeil ROS? I have a guy wanting to trade me Jordan Montgomery for Jeff and… I’m just not sure even though I need pitching. That said I’m a Cardinals homer already collecting Cards pitchers and uhhh that’s maybe not a great idea lol. Standard Yahoo H2H.

You picked the one season without Cardinals Devil Magic for their pitchers!

I'd rather have India ROS in that format. McNeil doesn't give enough HR/SB juice and in H2H the effects of his good BA typically don't matter as much.

My 3b spot has been a revolving door of Alec Bohm, Ryan McMahon and Ke'Bryan Hayes. :smith:

I think I'll drop Hayes and take a flyer on Brent Rooker right now.

That's a really tough call but I like Hayes there. He's cut his K% in half, his statcast data is pretty good including a better launch angle, and he's playing every day. (Small sample size caveats still apply.) I'd keep all three guys over Rooker, but if you have to drop one I'd say McMahon. It's just so hard to drop a decent Rockies hitter though :ohdear: Maybe try to flip McMahon for help elsewhere?

Yikes, wtf do I do with Walker without an N/A spot? My only other 3B is Baty.

Mets only have one lefty SP for the rest of this week (Fried) so Baty should get most of the starts. I'd roll with Baty and hold Walker if I could.

General Bullshit posted:

I had to drop him in a shallow league. I hate when teams do this crap.

Kilometers Davis posted:

Appreciate y’all giving me advice. I swapped McNeil for Montgomery. I believe in my poo poo team’s pitching!

Tempted to drop Hays or McCutchen for either Suwinski or Rooker. Any feelings on that? Cutch is looking awesome but Suwinksi’s statcast is insane. Rooker is putting up great numbers but the Pirates are killing it right now.

Suwinski is basically a young Joc Pederson. Platoon guy (although he started against a lefty today) who crushes righties, will need to be managed/benched when facing a lefty-heavy week, and submarines your BA. That has value but don’t buy him thinking it’s going to be 30+HR and 600 PAs.

Rooker seems like a AAAA guy on a heater. But sometimes they last a few months? Team context is abysmal though, how many R and RBI is he really going to get?

I’d be fine dropping either Cutch or Hays, you should be churning the bottom of your lineup and hoping to spike something better anyway. If Alek Thomas is available I’d throw a dart at him ahead of Rooker or Suwinski, D-Backs optioned Jake McCarthy so he’s playing every day and his statcast is encouraging.

Robert over Gallo yes. Pick him up and hope he goes on a tear. Homered tonight. In two weeks if he still stinks, move on.

Nestor, depends on who you’re dropping. He should be owned in a 10-team but maybe not yours if you have better SPs. Nestor just had his next started pushed to Monday against OAK so at the very least make room for him in that start.

How do people feel about Mervis going forward? I need to drop one of Mervis or Wisdom to make room for Judge coming off the IL. This is in a keeper league.

How many keepers between seasons? Unless it's your full roster or close to it, I'm guessing MERV or Wisdom isn't going to factor in. I like Wisdom's 3B eligibility but MERV has the higher upside and I could make the case for him in 10 or 12 team leagues where you can get a replacement corner off waivers. Anything deeper and Wisdom is the safer play.

I would pick up KB, the weak spot in your offense might be that third OF slot if Duran stops hitting or Nootbaar falls into the abyss claiming all Cardinals hitters.

And yeah with Altuve back there's no reason to hold Arraez and McNeil, so drop the latter and them maybe one of your holds guys when Glasnow is ready.

This was very much the correct answer, and luckily what I did!

Am I wrong to be carrying two catches in a one catcher league? I’m relatively new to fantasy baseball and i try and keep alternates for every position on my bench just in case, catcher included.

Daily rosters: With a deep bench, no not at all. For a while I had Murphy/D'Arnaud and it worked out pretty well. But if you have limited bench spots like most ESPN/Yahoo/CBS leagues, I'd use them on extra SPs.
