Keeper Draft Question
11:23
With OF being so top heavy this year, I’m in a keeper league and have the choice of Nolan Jones, Randy Arozarena or Bryan Reynolds for my final spot. Who would you take?

Raaa-aandy!

5th starter candidates Ryne Nelson, Tylor Megill, and Gavin Stone are all off to strong starts this Spring. Too early, or are you buying in? Anything under the hood (pitch mix, velo, etc.) that says yea or nay?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:24
Stone is the most interesting
But ask me again in two weeks lol

NL only keeper 5 x 5, keep up to 15. Have speed elsewhere. Is Brandon Nimmo a keeper at $18.50?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
It depends on your league size. $18.5 would be pricey by a couple of bucks in a 12-team but still a reasonable cost.

It seems that Matt Chapman is going for a seemingly cheap price in fantasy drafts.  Is he really of so little value?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:26
His ADP has been boggling my mind, even before he signed.
11:27
Good value in 12-team leagues - amazing value in 15-teamers.
11:28
I'm currently hoping he'll make it around to me again in TGFBI - was worth picking the last three rounds but I've been banking on the hate keeping his fall going
wish me luck

11:29
Who are some players going in the first couple of rounds you’d suggest to avoid?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:31
Elly de la Cruz. Love the long-term talent but his ADP has gotten too out of control.
Ryder
11:35
Who's your favorite for a comeback year?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:35
Michael Harris II
11:36
Bo Bichette - his ADP has finally dropped to him being a big bargain. Don't punish him for being overdrafted previously
11:37
Byron Buxon - I mean, all he has to do is not get hur-...
Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha
Yeah, he'll get hurt.
players in the 24 draft
11:39
very early for sure but any players who'll be available in this year's draft who you'd put on a keep tabs on list?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:39
Jac Caglianone is probably going #1 and for good reason. Dude can pitch over 100mph while also blasting lasers from the plate.
And as a lefty!
11:40
Hagen Smith on the pitching side
Keeper Decision
11:46
Nootbaar vs Kelenic. Would you rather Anthony and DeLauter over one of them as they’re my 4th/5th OF in a 4 OF league.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:46
Similar values for this season but I'd rather risk it with Kelenic.
11:50
Alright, y'all, we're going to wrap it up shortly.
I'll be chatting every Monday at 10 ET but you can get your questions in on Sundays.
And you can find me on Twitter @Nt_Burtreynolds
