Really impressed with what he did in the 2H and I know some folks don't give much credence to working with someone or whatever, but I'm super encouraged by him working with JD Martinez. I think we could see a supercharged 2016 on the perfect scenario upside: .280/25/90/90/15 (he's always been a great base stealer rate-wise, but Boston doesn't seem to push or allow volume or he could legitimately push mid-20s IMO)

What do you think of the fact that Miguel Cabrera led the majors in percentage of balls hit over 95 mph and 2nd in overall exit velocity in 2018? I know he had an awful grounder rate, but do you like his chances of a rebound?

Miggy is still a very good hitter, it allll comes down to health. It's not at all unreasonable to be leery of his health profile age-36, but that risk is built into his price (ADP 160ish) so I'm still willing to take a shot, especially in a weak 1B pool

$26 ok to Keep Baez in a 12 tm NL only 5x5? How about $35 Soto?

Yes on Baez for sure, but that's a bit costly on Soto. I'd rather throw him back and then if you REALLY want him at that price, pay it auction (though I feel he'll come at least a few bucks cheaper... unless inflation is crazy in your lg)

I'm entering the NFBC main event for the first time this year, any experiences you care to share that would be helpful for a newbie?

Do your research. Be ready to get sniped repeatedly and move to plans B, C, and D. Don't be afraid to "reach" for your guy (if you're comfortable paying the price, it's not really a reach, but I use that word meaning paying above ADP), and don't punt anything bc then you can't compete in the overall

OK y'all, a little bit of a shorty today for our first chat of 2019, but I'll be back next week! We'll DEFINITELY get some marathon chats going in February/March in preparation for draft season for stay tuned!
