Is Soto the 1:1 pick next year after his display of SB prowess?

Paul Sporer

If you really believe in them. I believe in what the Mets are doing and think he can be a firm 17-20 expectation which does make 1:1 fair. Just draft for the potential of a return 7-10 bc while the Mets have made tangible changes to make them a menace on the basepaths, teams could counter it and Soto could get a red light.

Now you might say why haven't they countered it yet which is fair, but with an offseason to study, we'll have to see if there's a solution to be found for their excellent leads that have led to the league's slowest team being legitimately great at stealing bases!!!

Who could dethrone Skubal or Skenes as the first pitcher off the board?

I don't think taking Crochet or Yamamoto is indefensible.

OK we really made something of this! Sorry again for being late, but we got a nice hour plus in after all. Take care, y'all. Thanks again for a great year of chats!! Off for a few weeks to decompress after the season, but back at it in early-November for the diehards!!

How much does your opinion on Suarez and Naylor change based on where they end up after the off-season?

Sneak one more in --- it drives a lotttt!!! Not sure I'd take either in a DC without knowing their spot right now.

Any love for Hunter Greene as potentially the best SP? I know the health makes it unlikely he'd be the first taken in a draft, but I wouldn't be surprised if a healthy year from him ended up being best in fantasy.

Stop asking good Qs! lol

Just kidding, but yes he's amazing. If you really believe he can drop 170+ IP, he has the talent. Actually got into a big debate with him in the center during the SP pod: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-sleeper-and-the-bust-episode-1453-re...

OK, bye for real. And to the person who just asked about Kurtz sophomore slump as I'm typing this, I think we have to be mindful of it w/him swing-&-miss. That said, he can still rip 30+ in Sactown even if he's hitting .225. The worry is a send down if things go totally awry and while it seems far-fetched right now, we know it's not out of the realm. I love Kurtz, but his price is gonna be a SKY HIGH and it might be prudent to fade if it's 2nd round. Take care, y'all!!!
