OFFICIAL 2018 FANTASY BASEBALL THREAD

[CrownRoyalDaddy]

I'm gonna have to p
I'm gonna have to pass. I only do Yahoo leagues. I do two teams every year and only have one team so far....Thanks for the offer though.

No problem. Id prefer to have both if my leagues on the same app but sadly one is yahoo and the other is espn. Never used espn before so we shall see

Napoli, Bird or Bour for 1B? mind you I have Didi and Gary Sanchez already.

Draft is in 2 hours .

We got a spot here that does 4 hour draft parties. For $70 a head you get unlimited Bud Light, crab fries (fries with Old Bay seasoning), wings, snow crab legs, and pizza. Plus a sandwich. Hell of a deal .

My team:

View media item 2372460View media item 2372461
10 team H2H 12-Cat (OBP and QS are the extra two). 3 keepers per year, 1st & 2nd rounds excluded, max length of a keeper is 4 years (1 player can be kept for a 5th year at an extra penalty. I kept Gregory Polanco, Yu Darvish, and Lance McCullers. Had the 7th pick. Happy with my team. Loaded up on pitching rather than getting bench bats. Plan was to punt saves but there was some BS and they made me draft the required two relief pitchers . Had Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell penciled in as my final two guys but it's whatever.

 

[AgentZero]

Not sure how I feel about this team...8th pick in a 12-team league. Michael Brantley was a late-round autodraft pick by the way.

 

[RyGuy45]

Is the NT Keeper league over with?

Aaron Nola worth an add post-draft or wait until the season gets going to see how he starts off?

I'm obviously biased, but I think he's worth a spot for sure. Who would you be dropping to acquire him?

Just a mere thought but Severino or Raisel Iglesias. I wish I knew both of their statuses in terms of whether they are going to be in the rotation or pen.

I'd much rather have Nola over Severino. He looked really bad last year and it's continued through the Spring.

Thinking about parting ways with Sev.

I had a spotty draft and I'm trying to clean it up well before Opening Day.

 

[JCMojica24]

Our draft is this Sunday can't freaking wait

Did mine last year at dave and busters when I was in Dallas and did zero research and won the league so this time I will be at home and prepared and prolly finish last

Welp just saw this

Iglesias was scratched from a workout Sunday after complaining of back and elbow soreness, the Reds' broadcast team reported during Monday's spring training game.

Spin: Iglesias is getting further examinations Monday, but given Iglesias's issues last season this is obviously a pretty big concern.

Hope it's nothing serious.

NT Keeper Leaguers - Proshares runs our league and I looked him up and he hasn't been on NT in over a month. I also sent him a renew league request via Yahoo last week.

Would be sweet to somehow keep this league

 

[macbk]

Didi to miss Opening Day, may miss all of April. He's first due to start a throwing program in 2 weeks.

Hoping he hits the DL so I can just stash him for the time being.

Raisel Iglesias should be fine. No structural damage. Just a bruise.

I honestly may drop him anyway. I didn't do my homework draft night when I took him and assumed he was going back into the rotation but I see he's going to be their closer. Is that right?

Yeah the Reds don't trust his health enough to make him a starter. And he's not even gonna be a typical closer. They're gonna go with a trio of guys in late game high leverage situations. So some nights he might pitch in the 7th, 8th, or 9th. Should still be a good source of Ks, ERA, and WHIP. But probably won't get you too many saves.

I could certainly use all three of those categories but IDK. I think I rather have another starter/OF already having a closer in Seung-hwan.

Grabbing Gleyber as a keeper tactic? Unless he absolutely kills it in Trenton I doubt he sees the majors til late season.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Of course. Looking to protect him and stash assets. Wanna do the same for Moncada as well. Just don't have NA spots in this damn league.

Do most leagues? I haven't even heard of an NA spot to be honest, but that's clutch if ya have that option.

I drafted Haniger in one of my final rounds, hoping he pans out.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I guess it depends on the commish but every keeper I've done has had one. It makes the most sense.
