Do you have to keep anyone? since you dont have any first round talent, you might be better off taking none of these players back and youd still have the opportunity to draft wright in the 1st round if he's the best player available (assuming no one else keeps 0 players). If you want to keep people,...

Are you saying you can leave the draft without drafting a 3B ( much like not drafting a K in football)... but still have to field a 3b during the season? or that you can just grab 25 players and play them all with no restrictions? I don't see why it changes the strategy of drafting if its the former...

I actually missed this report, so thank you. Batting 5th in the short term doesn't really change much for me. I can't believe that BH is going to take the majority of his AB's from the 5th spot in that line up. If he does however, it's obviously a negative- but not likely to play out that way. @frie...

I think its because you said "or".

If Wright/Gryorko is an option I think that would probably win out, atleast for me. I too am a #2(ha!) as is.

While I'm not sure about the RCL data, I've been messing around with drafting Bats, RP, SP in that order. I've found in many drafts I can obtain the majority of my SP targets even if I use my first two "pitching" picks on RP. In many drafts, I have used the first 6 rounds to focus on power hitting, ...

I dont think he told you to keep Moore over Gray- he told you to keep both over Hammels.

So do you have more than 22 points now?

If not, Al-So or Brantley- I'd go with the upside of Brantley

Tulo, Miggy, Upton, Rios. I think these are defiantly your top 4 keepers and are a good mix of everything- including risk/stability.

Pitching: Stras Hammels Greinke and Gray. Not a big fan of Moore walk rate and the competition of the Al East so often.

Goodluck!

@friendoffantasy

Interesting, how are "points" determined?

Tulo-7
Bum-4
Scherzer 3
Kipnis 3
Machado 2
Ortiz-1
Ecab-1
Rosenthal-1 ( top closer over a bench OF options for lowest keeper price)

Attack hitting early, hold off on pitching for a while.

@friendoffantasy

If you dont mind me asking: Does that not promote teams to tank and stop playing? As soon as you know your team isn't in the top 3 ( or money pay out if your risk-kay) your actually doing yourself a disservice by not trading away any ounce of talent on your meaningless roster with no consequence. As...
