Dan Harris
4:25
Fully on board the train. I expect him to take a leap in performance this year, and with injuries being the overriding concern generally, it's a lot easier to deal with them in a year when you can't feel comfortable about anybody's innings because of the 2020 season. I'm getting him where I can.

Fantasy drafts are won after the studs are gone.  Who are the middle/late round guys you've got multiple shares of?  And what do you think of my little list:  Josh Bell, Will Smith and Ty France?
Dan Harris
4:27
Oh man, I am in on Josh Bell at this point, big time. Recording a pod with Joe tomorrow about potential league winners and he is high up on the list. I love Stroman, as anyone who has heard me talk knows, as well as Montas. An I think Andres Gimenez has legit 35-stolen base potential.
Matt

6 keeper 12 team roto. Should I keep Eloy Jimenez for the future or keep someone else this year and move on?
Dan Harris
4:28
How long can you keep? If it's multiple years and the cost is light, I'd stick with Eloy. If you have other decent options and it's not more than a year or two, I'd let him go.
Aubron
4:28
Please rate my current SP: Kershaw, Greinke, Cookie, Morton, McCullers, Montas, Paxton, and Eduardo Rodriguez. My current RP are Neris and Colome. Do I have enough RP in this league. I was actually thinking about punting S/HDS. 10 team H2H points league?
Dan Harris
4:29
Neris and Colome are fine in a saves plus holds league, but I'd be concerned about them in a saves-only league. Your staff is a little weak up top, but I like the depth you've assembled.
Steve
4:29
Thoughts on Detroit SS Willi Castro this year?...Thinking of targeting him as a MI value.
Dan Harris
4:30
Yup, I like the call. Actually an error on me because I largely wrote him off, but he is raking in the spring, and there's a lot more speed than he's shown. Scooping him up late in drafts is a great idea.
Daniel
4:30
I was high on Willie Calhoun before the injury.  Does he offer sneaky value at his current ADP?
Dan Harris
4:31
Ditto. I think Khris Davis's injury is of minor help because at least when Calhoun returns, it eliminates the (small) chance that Davis had parked himself in the DH role. We have seen the upside, so I'm still drafting at his (basically free) ADP)
Matt
4:31
Olson or Myers? Musgrove or Luzardo?
Dan Harris
4:32
Olson and Luzardo for me. But I like both other options.

Do you think the Reds' Suarez will gain SS eligibility in April?  Will he bounce back at the plate and bat more towards his career BA of .260ish?  Over/Under 35 HRs for Suarez?
Dan Harris
4:33
Depends on your eligibility rules, but certainly sounds like the plan is to play him there. Yeah, I think he bounces back to at least .250 - remember, the Reds were oddly snake bitten last year. Historically low BABIP and team batting average. They'll all bounce back some.
Guest
4:34
Need to replace Eloy Jimenez - i play in a shallow league - who to add? Haniger, Segura, Solak, Winker
Dan Harris
4:34
Haniger has the best chance of being Eloy-lite IMO.
Omar
4:34
Who would you take with the first overall pick in a 12 team 6x6 h2h categories league with OBP and QS? Im stuck between Trout, Soto or Acuna
Dan Harris
4:36
Very close when you throw in OBP, but I'll still go with Acuna. Upped his walk rate to 18.8% last year, so if his batting average bounces back to the .275-.280-sh range, his OBP will be monstrous (like the other two). Steals make the difference.
Kyle M
4:36
Do you have any information about David Price?  is he worth a roster spot or should I look elsewhere?
Dan Harris
4:37
I don't, but I expect him to mostly be a regular starter, to the extent the those exist for the Dodgers. But after missing a year and some injury-plagued seasons, I wouldn't bank on more than 20 starts or so. Still worth a roster spot at the end of your draft.
Dustino
4:37
Friends or Seinfeld?
Dan Harris
4:37
Seinfeld is the greatest sitcom of all time. On this, there can be no debate.
trevor
4:38
amir garret or tyler duffey?
Dan Harris
4:38
Garrett by seven miles.
Drew R
4:38
Who do you see being the best pitcher on the deep Atlanta staff come years end?
Dan Harris
4:39
Probably Fried, but I rarely draft him at his price. I like Morton and Anderson better with their ADP. But purely, who will be the best? I will stick with Fried.
RW
4:39
Am I nuts for wanting to go deGrom and Darvish from the 5-spot in Rounds 1 + 2?
Dan Harris
4:39
I wouldn't do it personally, but nah, not nuts. Starter-starter in the first two rounds is almost never crazy, but I admit I'd be taking a pitcher over deGrom there.
Arjun
4:40
I'm thinking of taking Giancarlo Stanton in round 8 at pick 110 in a 14 team h2h category. Is this a good time in my draft to take the risk or should I take a safer option such as Brantley or Bohm?
Dan Harris
4:40
All depends on your personal feelings on it, but I have Stanton the highest and ranked in the 80s, so I have no issues with it!
Slice
4:41
Hate to see injuries like Eloy Jimenez, especially so close to the start of the season.  What other guys with more subtle injuries have you been fading?  Nothing worse than fighting an injured roster in fantasy.  One guy specifically, what do you think of Soroka?
Dan Harris
4:43
I do generally fade injuries, since it's hard enough to avoid injuries in-season. Starting off with them is a recipe for disaster. Soroka is a fine pitcher and everything sounds good, but I'm just not going with him with the Achilles in a redraft format until super late. I'd rather be the guy who improperly faded injuries rather than bought in too early.
Daniel
4:43
Jared Walsh:  Should I believe what my eyes saw in 2020?
Dan Harris
4:44
He's not going to hit .293, no, but he should be a 20-homer bat with decent counting stats given his projected work. If he held the first base job all year, he could easily push 30 homers, but I think it comes with a .235-ish batting average, so bake that in
fidel_castro
4:44
What are your thoughts on a Gary Sanchez resurgence?
Dan Harris
4:45
I really want to believe in the bounceback, but every time I have been faced with the decision in a draft, I pass. The 15:2 K:BB ratio in the spring is just gross. There is potential, without question, but holy cow, cut down on the whiffs for like five seasons so I can justify drafting you PLEASE
Slice
4:45
I've seen some experts buying, some avoiding Matt Olson at his ADP of 85ish.  Where do you fall?
Dan Harris
4:47
I'm a fade and have him at 101. I like Olson, I really do, but I don't see that much of a difference in his production versus someone I can get 100 picks later (like a riskier version of him in Miguel Sano). I think his average will likely bounce back to "regular poor" rather than "terribly poor" so I'm not all out avoiding him. But not in on the ADP.
Jerry Garcia
4:48
I like Hunter Dozier's mutli-position eligibility. You think he'll be a productive hitter this year?
