Not quite the set of legends you have, but still a collection of 9 HoFers (plus two extra very good 2b).

That will do for now. Time to start researching which prospects might be available at 1.15 for the minor league draft.

4 of my first 7 picks were pitchers. With no “balanced” hitters to pull from I punted steals. (Viable in h2h format)
With a league this deep I feel very uneasy with several starting bats, I will need to prioritize close proximity hitting prospects if I want to compete in 2025.

Draft complete, but I’ll continue the thread with some reflection.
20t dynasty startup, MLB draft with separate prospect draft later.
I had 5 batters ranked ahead of skenes and they all went ahead of him so I took him at 6. This set my strategy, especially when Crochet lasted to my 2nd pick.

Bench IF
25.6(486) V. Grissom
Boston must have seen something to trade Sale for him… right?
34.15(675) R Tellez
According to fantrax ADP (762) I over drafted. 😂 if he signs with a team he’s worth the stash. Otherwise he is replaced by a prospect come April.

Bench catcher
27.6 (526) Mitch Garver
20 team 1 catcher league… I wasn’t sure I wanted a bench catcher, but garver pairs with big dumper and should probably be getting DH reps unless Seattle signs someone else. He also was one of the most appealing Ng power bats left at this stage.

Bench relievers
29.6 (566) Derek Law
30.15 (595) Yimi Garcia
Plenty of free agent closers on the market so bullpens will change a bunch, but they should at least be in the running for late inning work. After investing in Hader / Erceg earlier I wanted to spend the rest of my bench picks elsewhere.

After pick 450 I’ll summarize my bench picks by position. SP first
24.15 (475) Tyler Anderson
26.15 (515) miles Mikolas
31.6 (606) John Means
My pitching is strong but I have several guys coming off TJ so Anderson and Mikolas provide some IP options.

Penciling him in as my starting 1b makes me a bit queasy. Will be searching the trade market for upgrades

Still 1k/ip and threw ~150ip each of the last 2 seasons.
23.6 Austin Hays
Giving him a mulligan for 2024 due to kidney infection.

I think all these three have platoon risk, but around pick 400 with no prospects to pull from they fill gaps.

I think this was the third closer off the board. I felt like fortifying a strength (pitching) was important. Saves + holds/2 means a “certified” closer has value and Hader has little risk of being put in a setup role.
