I do love me some Mountcastle. He'll hit for average (not as much as last year, of course) and the power should come. I don't go into a draft thinking "I will pass on reliable first basemen because I can draft Mountcastle late" or anything, and he's not a startable option at first in mixed leagues. But I am getting a lot of shares, that's for sure
Aubron

Would you rather have Tapia or France in a 10 team H2H points league?
Dan Harris
4:07
In a 10-teamer, I'll go for the upside of France. Tapia is partially valuable because of the steals, and that's obviously not as important in a points league.
Daniel
4:07
Some thought Robles would lead off.  Today, he hit ninth.  Cause for concern?
Dan Harris
4:07
Unless I hear comments about it, no. And if he hits, he's probably still valuable at his ADP anyway.

Rank these for multi-position middle infield backup in 10 team HTH Category mixed league: Fletcher, Edman, Polanco
Dan Harris
4:08
Edman. Big gap. Polanco. Small gap. Fletcher.

I'm in a 10 man h2h points league and drafting 9th considering nola in the second round with 12th pick, is it too far of a reach
Dan Harris
4:09
Nope, not at all. Pitching should be pushed up in points leagues anyway, and Nola is a top-8 option. No issues with that there.
Ron

Hello guys, and thank you so much for taking the time, to offer this for people that need assistance , I took a chance in my draft Monday night and drafted Jonathan India, with my last pick do you think he can emerge as a solid player this season?
Dan Harris
4:10
I do like India as a player, but I don't think he'll do much until perhaps the end of the season. In a redraft league, there are others I'd rather take my shot on. But, if you have a minor-league spot, I'm ok with holding him.
Ryan
4:10
Can you rank these players 1-4? Unsure of who to take in the 2nd/3rd round of my 10 team H2H points league. Nola/Buehler/Scherzer/Giolito
Dan Harris
4:11
Caveat that they are all really close, but I go Giolito-Nola-Buehler-Scherzer
Pat
4:11
Hey what round would you consider adding Ke'Bryan Hayes in 12 team points, hitters only?
Dan Harris
4:12
I would think 6th-7th round.
Derek
4:12
Hey guys, got a 8 team al only auction keeper league, kept 9 batters and only 1 pitcher (Glasnow) so will need to use much of my remaining budget on pitchers. Any pitchers I should target that will pitch above their perceived value ? Thanks
Dan Harris
4:13
His name is Marcus Stroman and the breakout is coming. Frankie Montas, too. Getting them cheap everywhere and expecting them to massively outperform their value.
Chris
4:13
Do you think Akil Baddoo keeps playing well enough to earn a full time job at some point this season?
Dan Harris
4:14
Nope, I don't think so. He's probably ready to play in the majors at this point but don't think he makes an impact/holds a regular job this year
Brian Zollo
4:14
Really want to know your projections for Myles Straw
Dan Harris
4:15
This was actually the first year I didn't do my own baseball projections, but the FantasyPros Zeile projection system has him at .257, four home runs, and 29 steals. Seems right in line for me.
Brian
4:15
how much value will eugenio suarez gain if he becomes SS eligible? if you knew this would happen, would he get a boost in the rankings?
Dan Harris
4:16
Any player who gains additional eligibility adds to his value, but it's not huge for Suarez because third is thinner than shortstop anyway. So, having the ability to plug holes is nice, but you're playing him at third all things being equal.
Mo
4:16
Other than Catcher and Closer, is there a position you would consider "punting"?
Dan Harris
4:17
Nah, you can't really "punt" positions. Not drafting closers means you're punting saves, and not taking a catcher till late is more of a reflection of the dearth of reliable options. Other than that, it's mostly best player available.
trevor
4:17
dylan moore, tommy edman, andres gimenez, who ends the season with the most steals+homers
Dan Harris
4:18
Moore has the most combined. Book it.
James muniz
4:18
How do you feel about Corbin burnes this year?
Dan Harris
4:19
Insert heart emoji. Changed his pitch mix last year to better capitalize on his natural movement. He's legit. Buying where I can.
Jordan
4:19
In a 12 team H2H 5x5 I have the 5th pick. Would it be too much of a reach to take Arenado with my 2nd pick? The guy at 4 loves him and i know for a fact we will not make it to me in round 3
Dan Harris
4:19
First rule is always that it's your team so you can always do whatever makes you happy! But yeah, that's way too much of a reach IMO. I have a hard time seeing how it would make your team better than just taking best player available.
Timmy
4:19
Harper or Seager in a points league?
Dan Harris
4:20
Both elite options, of course. But Harper for me.
Guest
4:20
Not sure if he's been touched on yet - when is a good time to jump on Gallen?
Dan Harris
4:22
Haven't touched on it in my time today, so here is my take. The uncertainty is a killer, but a fracture in the forearm is actually not the WORST injury to have as far as I've read. Just that with a fracture, it's going to heal, as opposed to a soft tissue injury that could crop up all year. I have him at 122 right now, so that's what, 10th/11th round in a 12-teamer? That's where the reward outweighs the risk for me currently

my only ss is edman, i am strong in pitching (Cole, bieber, kershaw, hendricks, erod) should i trade ian anderson for correa
Dan Harris
4:23
Really depends on how you feel about your offense, but I'd roll with what I have for now. Think Edman will be plenty valuable, and having the deep rotation will be key this year. And there's a lot of upside with Anderson. I'd probably stay put.
Brendan Ryan
4:23
Do you think Jack Flaherty will bounce back this year?
Dan Harris
4:24
Didn't realize he needed to bounce back, but if he does, then yes. The Cardinals' situation was so weird last year with all the COVID-19 stuff. Dude made just 9 starts and couldn't get into a rhythm. And even then, he allowed nine innings in a September start. Absent that, he had a 3.13 ERA! Fully buying.

thoughts on Luzardo?
