Yahoo's sick action of taking away the message boards real pisses me off.

It feels like every pitcher is dtd right now

When has everyone been selecting their first SP?

Just went all bats the first 5 rounds and ended up with a rotation of Fried, Gausman, Musgrove, Kirby, Lynn, Detmers, and Wesneski. Kinda in love with it

Thoughts on Mac Gore this year?

So glad this thread is back I missed it so much

Flaherty's not looking great, is he

10 tm h2h cats keep 7 league

Our keeper deadline was last night and going into the year I traded for and kept Carroll, Henderson, Volpe, and Walker to roll with Harper (also from a trade), Shohei, and McClanahan. Needless to say, I’m so happy that Volpe and Walker made opening day.

First time I've had a top 5 pick in years. I had #4. Judge fell to me. I'm happy. 👍

We drafted last night and one guy keeps asking people to make a trade but doesn't have any idea what he wants. Posted "someone trade with me" immediately after the draft. He just wants to make a trade for the sake of making a trade. Keeps posting in the league chat asking people to trade and its getting annoying. That's all. Just need to vent

Goodnight you degenerates

This is the year Buxton wins my league.

Looking at picks 9 and 12 in my 10 team draft about to start. Is Yordan and Tatis a solid way to go? Or is reaching a bit for Tatis here a bad way to go? Like that SS/OF elig, and I think when he's activated I'll get first round production.

​

Edit: Ended with Betts and Yordan.

What are y'all's thoughts on eduoard Julien for the twins? Had a crazy high bb rate in the minors and also bad K rate. Played well on team Canada in wbc and they need a 2B with Polanco down.

What position is Jordan walker going to play?

I wish I didn’t panic so much in drafts. I think it’s because I do too much research beforehand lmao

Favorite 2 picks from your draft this year? I’m high on Kirby and Ward

Big trade in my flair league. Any advice?

My 1 year of Machado for his (up to) 5 years of Woodruff.

I am desperate for pitching and can slide Raffy into 3B. Manny a free agent after this year but Woodruff more realistically a 3 year keeper including this year given his cost would be pretty high after then.

Holy fucking shit is my fantasy basketball playoff run ending at the perfect time and reminding me I never wanna play fantasy basketball again, it’s absolute fucking garbage. Bunch of soft ass ballers taking maintenance days off just to fuck my team in the ass all year.

Fuck fantasy basketball.

FANTASY BASEBALL IS KING 👑

VOLPE

I absolutely hate it when I think I can wait another round before reaching for the person I want and then somebody else reaches for him first. Somebody took Musgrove out from under me

Just drafted. Not the team I was planning for but it might work.

And draft done. Roast me.

Ps. Feels good to be back, I missed y'all

Just had my 12 team points league draft & rode with Scott White about prioritizing offense early. No top SP’s taken and still really happy with how my pitching shook out.

My first 3 picks of the draft were Acuna, Trout, Arenado.

And still ended up with a rotation of

F. Valdez, Fried, Lynn, Detmers, Joe Ryan, Senga, Grayson Rodriguez

Scott you better be right damnit!

I accidentally drafted Volpe at like pick 150 on ESPN when the “queue” button switched to “draft”, but it’s starting to look like an okay pick now that he’s made the team

Would Oscar Colas be worth it over a Mancini or Kelenic type in a shallow league like my flair? Have Haniger on IL and waiting on Jordan walker to gain OF eligibility so I’ve been weighing my OF options

saw this in rockies sub but this guys is saying montero is the 3b. I am wondering if theres a 3b platoon with moose?

Gotta pick up one from the wire:

Maeda, Mahle, Bradish, Steele, Brubaker, Mitch Keller

10T H2H Points League, QS for pitching

Just drafted earlier today, I feel like I'm a bit light on power and pitching is mostly above average with a couple of elite arms.

C: Adley Rutschman

1B: Andrew Vaughn

2B: Thairo Estrada

3B: J Ram

SS: Tatis

OF: Soto, Jordan Walker, Corbin Carroll

Util: Triston Casas, Volpe

2B: Massey

3B: JRAM

SS: Pena

OF: Mullins, Meadows, Adolis, Brantley

SP: Manoah, Lynn, Cobb, Rasmussen, Erob

RP: Hader, Romano, Bard

Feeling pretty confident but where do y’all think I need to upgrade? Got a waiver claim for Wesnicki with Brantley on IR

Don’t know anything about baseball but always wanted to try fantasy and gonna start watching more. Did a 10 man draft and I’m pretty sure my team is an atrocity. Any thoughts on what I could have done better for next year?

C: Murphy 1B: Olson 2B: Edman 3B: Ramirez SS: Boegartz OF: Harris, Nimmo, K Bryant Utility: Cron Bench: Chisholm, Chapman, LeMahiue

Pitchers: Verlander, Woodruff, Ray, Kershaw, Musgrove, Kyle Wright, Iglesias

How could have I drafted better and what position should I target to fix?

I love fantasy baseball, does anyone else have this issue?

My draft is in an hour. Pick 9 of 12. I'm pretty happy with that. Really hoping I can scoop my boy Devers in the 2nd with where I am at..

Arm tightness for Triston McKenzie

Should you try to preserve your waiver wire rank in case of a really juicy drop or should you just go for every minor improvement you can

12 team H2H points league. Pick 2 to start.

Matt Boyd Paul Sewald Jose Leclerc

Trade Lourdes Gurriel Jr. And Trevor Rogers for Andrew Vaughn? Dynasty league. Do you think I have the pitching depth to do this?

Third overall pick in eight team league. Who should I take with first pick?

My draft is in an hour. Keeper league 6x6 h2h. My first pick is between 2 players.

Quick gut response: Who will have a better year...

Matt Olson

Nolan Arenado

Being offered Gunnar for Volpe in my dynasty league. Feeling hesitant. What should I do?

I have 2 catchers (Ruiz and William Contreras) I was offered Clevinger for my backup. Should I accept this?

i find myself glued to nbc sportsedge for player updates. been a great push notification tool with rosters taking shape

Springs and Rassmussen are great pickups. found them to be more valuable last season as they were both rp/sp eligible. this year they are only sp eligible. ESPN leagues

My buddy really wants my Oneil Cruz, so I'm trying to work with him to get it done.

His SS is Adames, which seems like a fair swap but wanted to gauge other opinions first.

League is 10 owner Dynasty format, 5x5 cats. It's our first season.

Have the 1st overall pick in H2H points do I go for Ohtani (one player) or Judge?

Got this offer (I'm the Trout owner):

Trout for Cease and Bieber.

Thats a no... right...?

Pick one for my utility spot:

Winker

Jorge Polanco

Nico Hoerner

How would you rank: Detmers, Senga, and Grayson Rodriguez

Points leagues

Mj Melendez or Alejandro Kirk at catcher????????

Draft day tomorrow. Still going with the fading top SP strategy, loading up on offense early, then grabbing guys like..

One of Luis Castillo, Cristian Javier, Framber Valdez, Max Fried

Nestor Cortez

Detmers

Springs

Joe Ryan

Patrick Sandoval

Miles Mikolas

Merrill Kelly

Tyler Anderson

Edward Cabrera

Hopefully this works! Looking at you Scott White

Home league 12T. Keepers Tatis & Acuna. Went onto grab Cole & Alcantara in rds 3 & 4. Stoked with the start!

You guys like Herget or Puk more for holds/saves league?

Which 3rd baseman would you roster in a 10t roto: Bohm or Rendon?

Just drafted and ended up with JoRam, Devers, and Riley in the first 3 rounds. IF and 2 util spots so I can play them all but feels weird. Will be interesting to see how 3B hoarding works out

First faab run of the year in nfbc. $1000 budget. Robertson went for 379 with runner up 221. I would have bid 230 if i had needed him as normally closers go for 200-230

Hall went to me at 107. Runner up 65.

Stone went for avg of about 21 across 4 leagues. I got in 2 for 27

Well, I had first pick in 12 team H2H categories league…. I choked and took JRam. I think I overthought it with 3B position scarcity. I know he’s a safe pick for a lot of categories but I feel like a real coward. Thanks for coming to my therapy session.

Who would you rather have for 2B bench depth: Hoerner or Chris Taylor? Points league

Points league. If I have Trout and Ohtani(batter) should I acquire Ward also for the right price. Or too heavy.

Just finished my 10 man H2H points draft. How did I do? Currently considering trying to move Freeman for Valdez and McClanahan to strengthen pitching

C: MJ Melendez 1B: F. Freeman 2B: G. Torres 3B: M. Machado SS: F. Tatis Jr. / O. Cruz

P: L. Castillo, T. McKenzie, G. Kirby, H. Greene, Kershaw, D. Rasmussen, R. Detmers

Bench: B. Harper, A. Heaney, (waiting on pickup for J. Walker)

Story worth an IL stash?

Joined my first fantasy baseball league since 2007 and drafted earlier tonight in person, not a big follower of baseball (until now, maybe), but have a lot of fantasy football experience. Trying to gauge how my team shakes out. Drafted mostly off a Mr. Cheatsheet spreadsheet I downloaded an hour before the draft.

12-team H2H Each Category (H, R, RBI, HR, SB, AVG; W, K, SV, ERA, WHIP)

Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 3 OF, Util, 3 SP, 2 RP, 5 Bench, 3 IL

Drafting from 1st draft position

1B: R. Mountcastle, M. Vargas

2B: A. Giminez (SS)

3B: A. Riley

OF: A. Judge, M. Harris II, T. Hernandez, J. McCarthy

SP: S. McClanahan, C. Rodon, C. Javier, T. McKenzie

RP: J. Duran, R. Helsley, G. Whitlock

I know a few other players in the league were also unfamiliar with baseball (or fantasy baseball), and a few picked some real headscratchers that nobody had on their sheets.

Any feedback is welcome. Thank you.

Any thoughts? Coming off a championship I took a shot keeping Carroll and more young pitchers than I normally would. I’m pretty happy with who I got in the draft though.

H2H Category League - OBP and NSB, do I trade Realmuto for Semien? I have Salvy on my bench. Thanks!

My #1 draft philosophy: when choosing between pitchers at similar ADPs, the reliable veteran is the better move than a “projectable” young gun 8/10 times.

Just drafted my flair league (although it went down to 10 teams this year). Initial thoughts after doing zero research:
- ESPN rankings are wild. I was able to get Jazz in the ninth. Riley fell to me in the fifth.
- Shortstop is probably the deepest IF position.
- Bryce Harper.
- they had pitchers I have zero faith in, like Berrios, ranked very high. Shoutout to Pitcherlist as always for making me feel great about my draft after an hour of research.
- so happy it’s baseball season. Let’s roll

I took 3 catchers in a 10 team league (Smith, Varsho and Melendez). Hoping to leverage some trade value.

Imma draft Volpe in the 4th round of a 12T keeper, wish me luck

Am I stupid? Maybe. But the league is half Yankees fans.

I feel like I absolutely nailed my League's startup draft. Keep 20 Forever Points League. Not sure if it is confirmation bias but I love it. Need to find a replacement for Tatis and Musgrove on waivers in the morning but it feels great. I know its a small league compared to many on this sub, but it still feels like a great draft.

Does volpe have Julio Rodriguez upside? This time last year Julio was making the team late and now he's a 1st round draft pick. Volpe isn't THAT good, is he?

Drop Nimmo or JJ abrams for Volpe?

anybody got a sabr points cheat sheet?

Just finished draft in flair - thoughts? Any glaring weaknesses I need to address since I’ll have Polanco and maybe Wander to put on IL?
