Got it. I understand and respect your point. He still had really good numbers last year. Seems like you are assuming 2nd half was the start of the end. I dont necessarily agree with that. I think the risk of Blackmon not producing is lower than for example the risk of Clevinger and Glasnow getting injured. I saw your response and dont disagree with it. He has a very good offense already so he could just go SP all the way. I dont like the options he has to go that early. Also, I just dont like to do that so early on the draft. I try to keep a “best player available” mentality

There’s another Deivi that pitches for Detroit? I provided other names as potential SP keepers to target which I thought could help him. You submit your replies, dont worry about what I post in a thread that’s not yours.

He has been one of the most consistent OFs in the game for the past 3-4 years. Plus, one of the few guys these days that provides power with good avg/obp. Even with the “terrible” 2nd half, he still put up very good numbers. Im not super high on him, but I think he is without a doubt the best player and lowest risk right now of the group provided. From my perspective its all about risk and proven consistent performance. If you take that away, then it would be extremely easy for me. I would go Glasnow, Robert (then Clevinger) first without a doubt since Glasnow could be the next Degrom and Robe

Mize, Gore, Manning...

Ok, then I would go: Blackmon Castillo Robert Like I said, I like Robert a lot but you already have 2 stud OFs. If you think Robert might get to you later, then go Abreu.

I would go: Blackmon, Clevinger, Castillo I love Robert and think he could be the next big superstar of the game. However, still think you would be reaching for him this early. Same with Abreu, I think he’ll have a monster season, but still reaching this early.

Lux no doubt

Redraft League - Eloy Keeper League - Judge

I’d go Trout, but really cant go wrong here.

Blackmon and Gleyber

Blackmon, Stanton, Soler, Muncy, Laureano. In that order.

Update. Im pretty sure Im going to go with Cole, Bregman, Mondesi and marte as 4 of 5 keepers. For the 5th, decision is between Degrom in Rd 2 and Bieber in Rd 9. The way my league treats SP, its almost certain that Degrom wont make it to Rd 2 in the draft. I think he’ll be picked between 5-8 in Rd 1. So the questions and arguments/justification Im struggling with are: 1. Is having a monster 1-2 punch at SP with Degrom and Cole (high K, QS, K/9, etc) worth not having a pick on Rd 2. 2. I believe there’s a significant difference between Degrom and bieber, but is it or will

I like Robert a lot and he is ready to roll. I think thats a good trade for you right now. Honestly, cant go wrong with either. Probably the best two all around talents. The Mondesi trade really depends on your roster and strategy in that league. I think its a good trade buying low on Stanton, but you’ll need to build the rest with pretty good avg/obp guys to balance Stanton. If healthy, I think he’ll hit 40-50 as a yankee. Plus, Mondesi doesnt come without risk either. It was frustrating owning him last year.

I would keep Bo here. I dont like the huge injury risk that comes with Severino. He is already “going back to NY with discomfort”.

I would go with Ozuna here and saving some $$$ to get an upgrade somewhere else.

Thanks for the help. I was actually thinking Mondesi provides multi cat help in R, 3B, SB and also some power. Maybe I need to go back and re-assess. But I see what you mean about the SB value in H2H. Thx again.

Looking at your roster, I would do the Scherzer for Story trade. You get a top SP that you need badly and at the same time create some offense flexibility.

Not even close? Rendon, they guy that has put up MVP type numbers in the last two seasons and is one of the best hitters in the game? Not sure we are talking about the same player. Yes, theres a risk numbers will go down in LAA, but he will still hit. Theres also a risk that alvarez numbers will go down is his sophmore year. Or that he might not hit without knowing what’s coming.

I really really like tatis. Like him a lot. But its hard for me to pick him over Lindor in this case. I would go Lindor, but Cant go wron with Tatis either in a Dynasty league

I would be really hesitant to deal Robert. I really think he can be the next almost “Trout-like” phenom of MLB. Easy easy, I said almost. 😂

Everything equal I think you have to go with rendon. Now, if you are talking about Rendon in 1st or 2nd Rd, vs Yordan in Rd 10 (as an example), then that would be a much tougher decision.

Surprised no one thinks i should keep Degrom to dominate pitching along with Cole.

I would take Soroka over Albies as well

I would go this route too with Hiura as the 8th then focus on hitters early in the draft.

I would do this as well, but swapping Mcneil for Luis Castillo. IMO Castillo is a stud and great value in Rd 9 and Cincy should be a lot better this year.
