Brian

Really like Andrus this year. he was hitting the cover off before he got hurt. steals should bounce back, too

Al Melchior

9:08

And he's going late enough that there is so little risk

Jeff Zimmerman

9:08

I'm back, sorry about that

Fan of FanBall

Does Lourdes have a chance to be this year's Marwin?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:09

If he plays

Al Melchior

9:09

Yes, good comp. FWIW I thought Camargo would be the next Marwin, but I think that window might have closed.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:10

Roto lady with 2 risky picks

Matt w

9:11

Freeland being seriously faded, no one a believer?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:11

Miggy is off the board

Al Melchior

9:11

He's not a bad value at this point, but there are still at least a couple of SPs I like better.

TheTinDoor

9:12

where do you see the risk with Schwarber?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:12

He can't hit lefties

I love that Ryu pick

Al Melchior

9:13

Rd 15. Spectacular for Ryu

Fan of FanBall

9:14

Surprised Profar not taken yete?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:14

8th round

Rob D

9:15

Is Minter another good value RP?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:16

Maybe. I'm passing on closers here. I'd bottom feed off the scum

Al Melchior

9:16

I like the skill set and am not that enamored of Vizcaino, but his chances at getting saves is too sketchy.

I'd just as soon keep waiting.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:16

Nice Polanco pick

Fan of FanBall

9:17

Who would you guys draft first this year... Betances, Britton, Ottavino?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:18

Betances, best talent

Al Melchior

9:18

Betances. I expect he'll be higher in the pecking order if Chapman needs a fill-in, and he'll probably have the best value in other categories.

9:19

Seems like an appropriate time to take fliers on Senzel and Luzardo.

VottomanEmpire

9:19

No Grichuk yet. my fave post-200 straight power bat

Al Melchior

9:19

Seems like he should go soon...

Jeff Zimmerman

9:20

I really like the Voit pick

9:21

This is the dart throwing section. Gamble on upside

Skaggs

Fan of FanBall

9:21

I really hope someone takes Daniel Palka. I think he is a sleeper candidate this year

Jeff Zimmerman

9:22

Agree, he's a cheaper Schwarber

Al Melchior

9:22

Yes, Ketel! One of my favorite sleepers.

9:23

When do you think Didi goes?

Al Melchior

9:23

His NFBC ADP is just inside 400, so it could be awhile.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:23

I have him fairly high with replacement baked in. Value comes down to number of DL slots

Adam

9:24

are either of you guys believers in the use two high inning relievers (ie betances + peacock) to form a free ace in daily moves leagues?

Jeff Zimmerman

9:24

Yes: https://baseballhq.com/content/research-rosterable-middle-reliever-thr...

Al Melchior

9:24

I believe in it enough that I want to use it this year.

Jeff Zimmerman

9:26

Nice 1B value in this round
