9.2 Salvador Perez, C
Hate his OBP, but C PAs are hard to come by and he seems guaranteed over 500 with a strong SLUG. A+ arm and good D. Considering I went for a full SP staff early, I am not unhappy grabbing Gregorius and Perez here. I think the fall off is bigly after those 2 at their positions.

Gregorius

K Bryant
Moore, Samardija, A Sanchez, Hammel, Kennedy - Hoping this is innings. Not a lot of upside, just throw throw throw.

If that's the fangraphs guy I just read that article.Paul Sporer is high on him for somereasons
Eephus

Yeah, he's w/ Fangraphs now. He used to self-publish a massive guide to starting pitchers that was interesting reading when it was free.

His real-life BB9 was a concern, but he held his own in the sim for my squad. Even mild real-life improvement can make Finnegan a sim stud.Paul Sporer is high on him for some

It's still weird to see him pop up on Fantasy shows and big websites. Use to be in a Fantasy League with him a million years ago with Rotojunkie. In a room full of
s, he was the biggest and smartest. Real quiet guy.

I hate that sometimes stuff gets stuck in your replies and you can't delete it.

I really like my offense, lots of power with decent OBP and I still get to add two corner OFs to it. Fielding is pretty good although Walker is a weak link at 2B.
Pitching has a lot of upside but not much experience. May be gambling a bit too much on IP for this format.

This is what sacred me off Cotton. He was at the top of my list when I took Bauer but I have no idea how many innings to expect from him.

@cosjobs This is one of the big differences between this and a typical fantasy league. You're committed to the total package here; you get their full season warts and all. So guys with innings limits, injury risks, platoon usage, etc. lose more value in this format than most other leagues.

not sure i agree with this in practice. First, you get 50 rounds of players, and only need 25-31 of them. Second, you get the 10% bonus IP/PA in the sim, plus however much fatigue penalty you can stomach. Third, if your guy does get limited time, it increases the probability you've drafted a "cookie".
so, i'm on the fence here.

If you're playing in a league with daily or weekly moves, you can stream pitchers, bench them when they're at Coors, platoon hitters based on SP matchups, juggle rosters around IP limits, etc.
You can do all of this within the sim of course but going in, a pitcher with 180 IP is much more valuable than one with 140 IP. This isn't necessarily the case in a traditional fantasy league.
