#Orioles Jordan Westburg in the playoffs batted 2nd vs a LHP and 2nd again vs a RHP.

After returning from injury he finished the year batting 2nd in 8 of his 9 starts (inc. playoffs)

On the year he batted:
1st - 6x
2nd - 9x
3rd - 1x
4th - 1x
5th - 35x
6th - 29x
7th - 16x
8th - 8x

1/2

Willy Adames is tough to gauge for me.

On one hand we’re paying for the breakout/career year and he’s in the first year of a big deal

On the other there’s a floor there that’s higher than most/all the SS that go behind him (imo) from this point on with a ceiling that we just saw

1/2

My latest DC through 10 rounds (15 teams/50 rounds/Draft and hold)

I honestly am not sure how I feel. Acuña is a risk but I made sure to give my team a high floor around him

First time taking an early closer with Clase. It’s alright I guess.

In Luke Weaver I trust (for now)

6 rounds in.

Hitter stack followed by a pitcher stack

Overall this feels like a pretty balanced start.

Now the fun begins with filling in the blanks.

Through 4 rounds.

Not bad for a 15 teamer

I know it’s only 2 picks but this start is pretty fun for setting my offensive base early

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Celebrating with food, family, and drafting this DC now

#Marlins Jesus Luzardo talked about being healthy and ready for a regular offseason a week or so ago on MLB Network

He addressed it again later in the segment but stated he’s finally back to 100% and what not.

1/2

If you’re waiting on catcher in deeper fantasy baseball formats take a shot on #Dodgers Dalton Rushing

A top prospect for the organization and transitioned to the outfield toward end of last year

1/2

My DC through 7 rounds

- Abrams fell near his max pick in DCs (59th and max is 61st)
- Sasaki fell to me at 89th overall (late round 6). Likely my one and only share because this is the latest I’ve seen him go since announcement of him posting

1/2

Woke up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and was on the clock

CJ Abrams fell to me at 59th overall. His max pick is 61 in this format

He was not part of the plan but I was not going to pass on him and how he fits this team great

I think it’s obvious what I’ll be drafting next 😂

My latest start in this DC from the 2-spot

It hurt to have to pass on Seager in the 3rd but I needed to diversify and not have Seager on every team

But here we are. About as solid of an offensive base one can ask for to start I guess — assuming Ohtani is ok. I don’t ever doubt him these days.

1/2

Paul Goldschmidt will be entering his age 37 season. If you look at the end of 2023 to the halfway point of 2024:

- .236/.319/.389 (.708 OPS) in 689 PA
- Just 23 HR and 9 SB
- 27% K%
- Bad contact rates

Followed by 3 good months to end 2024 (still sub .800 OPS in those good months)

The epitome of boring picks

Round 14 and 15 in my current DC to solidify BA and some decent innings

In draft and hold formats availability has value

I disagree with this a little

I have a hard time projecting Espinal as an everyday guy over CES and Candelario

I’d project Candy and CES as starters personally with Espinal in the UT role

Guess I need to update my damn sheets so I can post my lineups again to my site for comps

First 10 rounds of my recent DC

Trout and McClanhan are a risky duo here but I like how I built around them so far

So far in my 2 drafts I have 2 shares of:
- Josh Lowe
- Triston Casas
- Corey Seager

Not sure how much I’ll diversify but so far these are “my guys”
