Yeah I'd still keep him since it's only $1 - he will likely be worth $6 next year too

Top 3 overlooked names to consider in an OBP league compared to generic rankings using AVG?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:37
Aaron Judge moves up. Rhys Hoskins. Carlos Santana. Also slight bumps to Harper, Bregman, Biggio
6:38
Sorry I needed to take a second after learning Freddy Peralta won a rotation spot
Daniel

How are you regarding Rafael Devers this year?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:39
I love him at his ADP. Third base is so deep between Rendon, Bregman, Devers, Arenado. So he isn't a "must" but I like him for sure
Daniel
6:39
Thoughts on spending a pricey pick on a C in a 16 team, 1 catcher league?  Is a Will Smith or Realmuto really worth the ADP cost?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:40
Nope not for me. I'd rather wait for Yadi or Posey types. Mitch Garver or Max Stassi for upside
Daniel
6:40
Who do you think is the most likely NOT to return good value among the 5 top hitters -- Acuna, Betts, Soto, Tatis, or Trout?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:40
They're all true studs. I can't say anything bad about any of them
Guest
6:41
in H2H categories is it worth going after "supposed" 5 category guys like Bo bichette and mondesi (to an extent) as early as rd 2??... or is the volatility not worth the draft capital when you can get a victor robles later on??
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:42
Bichette and Mondesi are different. I'm okay with Mondesi since the SBs are such an outlier. In roto he's in play in the third round
Guest
6:42
Who are you typically drafting at the 1/2 turn if the Big 3 pitchers are gone?  I'm a pocket aces guy typically but not sure how I feel about a Bauer/Darvish combo. Too early for Giolito?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:43
My SPs 4-6 are Bauer, Giolito, Nola. I'd want one of them plus one of Freeman, JoRam, Story

I’m in a standard 5x5 H2H league. Is Tarik Skubal a good late round pick for 2021 or is 2022 his real breakout?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:44
He's worth a late round pick for sure. Lots of Skubal questions! But he developed a new pitch and is emphasizing more secondary offerings this year. He's talented and could get a lot of strikeouts. If it doesn't work you just drop and move on!
Matt Williams
6:44
How do you feel about Mondesi in the 2nd Round? Roto or H2H?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:44
Mondesi loses value in H2H. Even in roto, Round 2 is too rich for me. I'd rather Trea Turner in Round 1
Aubron
6:45
Why is everyone down on Story this season. Even with losing Arenado do you think he will still have a good season for fantasy?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:45
Are people down on him? He's a consensus late first-rounder I think. People might be worried he's going to get traded
Guest
6:45
H2H points. Machado or Bellinger?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:45
I'm going Belli but I get why some are nervous. He's a high-variance season-to-season player

Thanks Brendan

Thank YOU for being here!

NL Only, 5x5, Auction, Keeper: Any SF relief pitcher worth taking a cheap flyer on? (This is likely a rebuild year for me)
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:46
Jake McGee for $1? Maybe? I'd rather go for more interesting arms like Freddy Peralta/Alex Reyes if rebuilding though
Lou
6:47
Also have several multi-position utility-type bench players that I can pare down.  Could you please rank Fletcher, Edman, Jorge Polanco?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:47
Edman, Polanco, Fletcher for me
Todd
6:47
Do you think owning 3 hitters from the same team is an unwise draft strategy?  I seem to be getting a lot of Padres in mock drafts. H2H categories daily league
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:48
No it isn't overly concerning. Especially if it's a team like the Padres!
Aubron
6:48
I have lost Carrasco and Yates before the season. What 2 players would you recommend picking up to replace them. 10 team H2H points league?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:48
If you need saves to replace Yates the obvious first place to look is Jordan Romano. I'm also buying into Nick Wittgren a bit as Cleveland's potential closer
Drew R
6:49
Was Luke Voit's 2020 real ? If not how much of a regression do you think we will see?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:49
Nick Castellanos, Austin Meadows, Alex Verdugo
JMO
6:49
Should I take a late round flyer on Mike Leake, Rick Porcello, or Jeff Samardzija? Will any of them make it into a regular rotation?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:50
I'm trying to answer this as nicely as possible, but DEFINITELY NOT GOOD SIR
Guest
6:50
Miami pitchers seem to lowkey sleepers this year! which do you like best for a breakout?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:51
Yeah they're all exciting for different reasons. I'm into Sandy Alcantara. He's emphasizing more four-seamers this spring, which is a swing-and-miss pitch for him. The early results are encouraging
Daniel
6:51
We need closer clarity!  (Sorry, I know this isn't your fault.). Do you think Pagan will close in SD?  What about TB?  Texas?
AvatarBrendan Tuma
6:52
Oy. I'd go Pagan over Melancon in San Diego right now. This Nick Anderson elbow inflammation is really throwing me off, but I'm going Pete Fairbanks over Diego Castillo. For Texas I'm going Matt Bush right now. Out of everyone I just named, I like Pagan most for saves. Again, oy.
