How are people doing drafts this year with the early start in Korea? Are people ignoring it or drafting the weekend before?

The last few times this happened, we drafted right before the North American first game and those stats were applied to the week.

I remember one year drafting the weekend after the Japanese series and people were really excited about Yoenis Cespedes.

We live in the bizarro universe where Kris Bryant goes last and Bellinger goes in the first 50.

Okay so what I can figure out from ESPN, if you drafted a player that played in Korea and the order in which you drafted him placed him in your starting lineup (he wasn't on the bench) then you played him, even if you draft today. So because I took Yuki Matsui in the later rounds he was on my bench and therefore I don't get his Hold, but I drafted Yoshi Yamamoto in the 4th round and he's in my starting rotation so I started him the inning he got shelled.

Very bizarre. You'd think they'd just skip those two games if you drafted afterward. Also Shohei Ohtani was kept as a pitcher in my leagues, therefore no one got his offense because he wasn't starting as a hitter that day.

Well I definitely bet on the wrong guy in Milwaukee. Payamps looks awful, and Uribe is clearly The Guy now. :shrug:

Only having 6 moves for a 19-day first "week" has royally sucked.

It is weird how he wasn't the closer to start the season, and he pitched four days in a row and got shelled probably from being exhausted. His stuff looked okay until today.

Abreu was #1 on multiple lists of top holds guys. Whoops.

Yup I was mad I never could draft him. The bullpen carousel at the beginning of the year is so so so random.

I know you aren't supposed to drop hitters until May, but Nolan Jones is working on an 0/22 and counting. Razzballs rankings convinced me to overdraft this guy and he's a disaster.

I'm in a league where I have Oneil Cruz and Corbin Carroll just killing me, too. There's a lot of dead bats right now it's really weird.

Yeah it's likely that a lot of players are just cold and the weather will heat up along with their bats/arms. There's too many good guys not hitting right now.

I have officially benched Corbin Carroll. I hope he gets his poo poo together. I'm 3-2 with third highest points, but it would still be nice to have my first round pick not suck rear end

I have had him benched all week. I have to start him today because of postponed games. It's weird how he cannot hit a fastball all of a sudden.

He had a huge dropoff last season after his shoulder injury. I didn't think it would follow him into 2024 like this but yikes.

Same. I thought he'd be pretty valuable where I drafted him at.

There are a ton of guys slumping early so hopefully Carroll is just cold. His walks look good still.

I have it on good authority that Corbin Carroll will break out this week (I'm playing against him in my dynasty H2H)

Lol joined a goon keeper league this year and kept Cole, Devin Williams, Luis Robert, and Trout.

They are now all on the IL.

That's impressive actually because I would have kept all those guys for sure in March.

There are so many guys not hitting at all. It's going to change soon because you see a ton of pitchers throwing like sub-3 ERAs that have no business doing so.

ESPN lets you drop Carroll now. Yikes.
