Hi everyone
Here is a link to the draft:
6:59
It looks like we have 15 minutes until the first pick
7:00
5 x 5 roto with average
Mike

Curious how far Lindor will fall.. if early indications are true and his ADP is around 16 ish, that's right in the Fangraphs wheelhouse.. do they bite?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:00
I think they do but Paul has been tight lipped
Al Melchior
7:02
I'd be surprised if Lindor gets past Paul and Jason, but I've been more optimistic about Lindor than what I've seen from most analysts.
Adam
7:03
Maybe they go mondesi and merrifield and corner the royals...😝😝
Jeff Zimmerman
7:03
Betting on the Royals offense and only lead to bad results. Might work at the 3-4 turn.
Scott
7:04
can you remind us of the scoring format for LABR?
Al Melchior
7:04
Standard 5x5.
Jeff Zimmerman
Randolph
7:05
Is this just a mock or the actual draft
Jeff Zimmerman
7:06
Actual draft they'll play out
Spin
7:06
Do you guys take the over or under on Max Scherzer going 8th?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:06
Under seeing who is at the top. I'm betting he doesn't get pack Erikson though
7:07
The first 6 usually are heavy on hitting
Guest
7:07
If you’re at the turn first round don’t you absolutely have to go with at least 1 SP?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:07
Just one of the top 3 for me but I'm souring a bit on Sale
Mickey
7:08
Thanks for hosting this chat!   I was accepted into a TGFBI satellite league so I need all of the 15 team strategy prep i can get!
Al Melchior
7:08
Given which hitters are likely off the board, I'd probably take 1 SP at the turn, but I'm with Jeff. Has to be one of the top 3.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:08
no problem
Derek
7:09
Im souring on Sale as well because of what Clay Link in regards to IPs
Jeff Zimmerman
7:10
I'm going to grab a drink and get ready for a long evening
Spin
7:10
Do you think Trea Turner will be the first Nat picked?
Al Melchior
7:11
I would expect it to be Scherzer, but maybe with Lindor falling that changes.

It's interesting. This is basically a main event NFBC format except I expect to see more punting of decoupled categories like saves and stolen bases.  First, because those stats are increasingly rare and closer roles are increasingly chaotic.  But because here they are just trying to win the league. Whereas winning the Main Event large jackpots rewards picking a generalist team that can compete in all categories.  Discourages punting.  So I'll be looking for the speed and saves discounting here
Jeff Zimmerman
7:12
It's a normal league IMO. A few more paths to the top
Pat G
7:13
Can we ask general fantasy questions too?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:13
You can but I may not get answered. The focus is on the draft
Al Melchior
7:14
Yup, draft is first priority, but I'll try to get to general fantasy Qs if they're posted.
20 seconds to go...
Adam
7:15
@Jeff, those rankings you posted, are those the projections you've been using in all your analysis this offseason?
Jeff Zimmerman
7:15
Yes. I'm not completely done with them but they are as up-to-date as I have them
Adam
7:16
Hypnotic pulsating zeros
Snid

Al Melchior
7:16
Yes, quite soothing, really.
Jeff Zimmerman
7:17
I'm guessing they are making sure everyone is ready to go and maybe taking a long hit in memory of Lawr
Al Melchior
7:17
Trout it is
