Made a few offseason trades in my 20-team dynasty league. Essentially I turned Spencer Steer, Logan Allen, and some prospects into Trea Turner and Jarred Kelenic. Still not ready to compete yet but still think 2025 is a good target. In the middle of a slow draft for a TGFBI satellite league, used the Fangraphs auction calculator and then tinkered with it a bit to get at least some baseline for rankings since I haven't done much prep otherwise. I've made 13 picks so far and been pretty conservative avoiding injury risk or unproven prospects. Might throw it all out the window and try some dart throws soon.

Inspector_666 posted:I'm doing a TGFBI mock right now with FG auction numbers, and it seems like something is very weird with the pitching values right now, or at least was a week or so ago when I punched the numbers. Oh weird. Which model did you use? I went with ATC and pitching seemed fine but catchers were very overvalued. Had to manually bump it down a bit.

Finally finished my slow draft: I reached for Contreras at 64 since I was pretty sure he wasn't getting back to 87, but then only Will Smith and Realmuto went in between those picks so who knows. I always second-guess decisions like that, but I really want one of Rutschman, Contreras, or Smith (Rutsch went 52nd) in 15 team 2 C leagues. SP thins out in a hurry, so even thought it felt like I was early on Musgrove I really didn't want to wait for my SP2. Bradish went the very next pick (whew) and then the group between my Walker/Sonny Gray picks where Bibee, Eury Perez, Justin Steele, and Cole Ragans. I'm happy with how it shook out. I missed all of my elite-ish middle infield targets but just went with volume and hopefully some amalgam of Edman, Gorman, Tovar, Lux, and Baez shake out to three useful players. If a lot of them hit then I don't mind Lux or Edman in the OF. And yes I got sucked in by the Manoah BSOHL tweets. Sue me. 24th round felt like a good time for a dart. According to the last three weeks of Draft Champions ADP, my biggest non-reserve reaches were Alek Thomas, Edman (maybe the wrist injury is scaring people), and Contreras. Biggest bargains were Kyle Harrison, Tovar, and Alex Verdugo, plus all the closers get bumped up in that format due to no FAAB so you can't go shopping for saves in-season. Anyway it was super fun but very slow even for a slow draft. Next one is my friends' league we've been running since high school. Live draft is in 10 days, I drive up to DC for it every year and it's a blast.

Inspector_666 posted:too many 1Bs 1B is the one position where I feel like it's very deep in shallow leagues and very thin in deep leagues. In my dynasty I feel like I'm begging other teams for guys like Andrew Vaughn and Ty France and getting nowhere. I traded Steer in a package for Trea Turner and while I'm happy I did, I'm either gonna have to hope one of Busch or Mervis runs away with the job in Chicago or draft an available guy like Ryan Noda, Seth Brown, or Carlos Santana.  I've always wanted to try an Ottoneu league, but I'm already in four others so not sure I want to add a fifth.

All my drafts will be done before the Korea series. But in general I think retroactive stats for those games is fine.

Welp ^this draft is in the books: Anticipated getting an SP and one of Albies or Semien at 24/25 but both of them were gone so I just took the best bat left. Originally I had picked Jhoan Duran and Jarred Duran (not trying to do a bit) in the 7th and 18th respectfully, but another owner wanted them and I needed an SP, so I traded Duran Duran for Iglesias and Shota. Did not anticipate getting Bellinger but all of my SP targets in that range went before 48/49. Not really enamored with Stott or Santander but they seemed like really good value for those spots. It's a daily moves league and an active one at that, I'm sure half of this team will turn over by Memorial Day. Guys I have in both leagues so far are Devers, Devin Williams, Aaron Civale, and Gavin Lux. I would start fading those guys if you haven't already because I'm sure some malady is about to hit all of them.

Okay so just how dead is Gerrit Cole? Dude in my dynasty league says he is available and I'm targeting 2025/2026 for contention so it might make sense.

coronaball posted:I have a black hole in my lineup at 3B since Jung is out for 2 months. Do any of these stand out over the others? Normal 5 cats + OPS With OPS the right answer is probably Eugenio. He has the most raw power and can take a walk. Personally I would head for the mountains of Busch but I’m a terrible Cubsposter so YMMV

So I have Junior Caminero in a dynasty league and I live in the Raleigh Durham area and I’ve tried three times to go see him for the Bulls and each time he’s been out with an injury. Today I had other plans and he’s already socked two dingers. Oh well
