Dynasty I want to invest in bats early. I recently had a startup dynasty draft and was picking 11th. I started Harper/Vlad then went Bregman/Wander for my next two. THEN went Ian Anderson/Sixto/Luzardo for my next three

Are you down with going Soto #1 overall?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:21
For sure. The top 5 hitters are pretty interchangeable in roto - Trout, Mookie, Acuna, Tatis, Soto. Personally I'm a Trout guy but you can't go wrong
Vic Vinager

what're you thoughts on the pocket aces strategy? I got 12th pick in a H2H points league and think grabbing 2 aces early on is smart. do you agree?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:22
Very on board with this in a points league. If you can get two of Bauer/Giolito/Nola thats just a tremendous start. There's a lot of value bats to be had later in drafts

In a keeper league and we didnt play last season so I have Shane Bieber in the 18th round.  Have the 3rd pick.  Most likely will have Trea Turner, Yelich or Cole/Degrom.  You think I should go with a hitter to get another dominant starter?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:22
My goodness. I think I'd go with one of Cole/deGrom haha

Paxton:  Thoughts on performance this year and how much his being a part of a 6-man rotation dampens your enthusiasm?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:24
Paxton is worth a late-round dart throw. If it goes south early you drop and move on. The 6-man rotation hurts his value, but he's going late enough that it isn't a huge concern. He isn't must have, but there are worse dart throws
Angelus Novus

Bieber-Bauer-Castillo-Snell-Burnes-McCullers...enough to dominate W/K/ERA/WHIP in my 12 team 5x5?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:25
I think YES

Does Julio Rodriguez have any value in re-draft leagues this year?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:25
Nope. Not unless something crazy happens
dave in slc
6:25
al only closer, do you like montero at $15? i think i need 2 and have diego castillo who should get *some*. Rosenthal and iglesias will both be available but i imagine will both be more expensive. what way do you go?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:26
It's tough to comment on auction values. Agree Rosenthal and Iglesias will be more expensive. I'd try and snag Jordan Romano. I also don't hate Matt Barnes if he's cheap
Houzer

Rank'em in a re-draft .. and what is the realistic output from these guys? Severino / Thor / Sale
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:27
I honestly can't choose between them until we get closer to any of them returning. They're all in the same tier right now

What's your prediction on the Carlos Carrasco injury situation?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:28
I just don't want to deal with it in redraft leagues. If I miss out on a great second half that's okay. I don't want to clog my IL spot right away

after taking degrom r1, rank these players in 5x5 h2h (keeper league so these are best available in r2): Bogaerts, Seager, Scherzer, Nola, Mondesi
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:29
Since it's H2H and not roto I'd go Nola, Seager, Scherzer, Bogaerts, Mondesi.....Mondesi loses a lot of value in H2H

How to do you feel about corbin burnes
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:30
I think there are legit reasons to buy into his breakout. He threw fewer fastballs in exchange for a sinker/cutter combo, therefore adjusting his pitch mix to match his natural talents. Love him as an SP3

12 team roto with OBP and TB. Do you prefer Arenado, Alonso or Guerrero as power hitter?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:30
I'm all in on Vlad this year. I'd go Arenado second

I ended up with too many OF-only players in a 10 team H2H Mixed Category league that allows 5 OF slots. I have Acuna and Castellanos locked in. Rest of them are Meadows, Pham, Haniger, Senzel, Corey Dickerson.  Which one (or two) would you consider dropping? I also have Ketel Marte (he should get OF eligibilty) and Edman as alternatives.
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:30
Dickerson and it's a pretty easy call
Guest
6:31
in H2H categories it seems like its a consensus to take a SP in your first 2 picks?? but if you  end up with a  multiple Lynn, Maeda, kershaw, types that are more Sp 1.5
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:32
H2H categories is the one format where it isn't as vital to take an SP with your first two picks (whereas it's a must in roto and H2H points). It also depends what spot in the draft you're picking from. It's different getting Bauer/Giolito/Nola early in the second. I'd push for one of those top 7-8 guys

I am in a 5x5 12-team keeper. I have Trevor Bauer as one of my keepers, and I am looking at drafting Burns, Ryu, or Strausberg. Is it worth waiting for a grieke, berrios, and Gray?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:33
I wouldn't wait. I'd go after one of the first 3 you mentioned
dave in slc
6:33
nl only keeper would you keep chris taylor at 10?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:34
I'd rather have the financial flexibility (UGH I sound like the Red Sox!)
Just a reminder as we're past the halfway point for me, if you have questions after tonight you can ALWAYS reach out on Twitter @toomuchtuma

Looking for a Dynasty player to target at the end of my draft. Rutschman, Franco, Witt Jr who do you think I should be targeting if there are others
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:34
Franco, Kelenic, Witt in that order

Is Tarik Skubal a recommended late round draft pick in a 10 Team roto? I think he can be great in every category, except wins
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:35
Yeah he worked on a new pitch this offseason and is trying to emphasize his secondary offering more. Talented enough to make sense as a late-round SP. If it doesn't happen early we simply cut bait
Guest
6:36
Zac Gallen, I have him for$1(add $5 each year) and i can keep him for 3 more years, is it wise to sit tight and just hold onto as I'm not sure of his injury and need to decide today if I should throw him back in the player pool
