    I usually sort by values and then create tiers. I do not do it on the website, it adjusts weight based on who is taken/available.

    4.47 - Tyler O’Neill

    Will be taking one of Wheeler, Giolito, Alcantara at 5.50. Can’t decide how I feel about Wheeler’s shoulder

    was gonna say he's throwing BP now so that looked like enough of a discount IMO ...

    Harper is a top 3 hitter by some projection systems, that's a great start from #6 :golfclap:

    It was a tough call between the 3. He had the highest projected ERA between them.

    Looking for some input on my keeper league (previous draft round). 4 keepers total. Player can only be kept for 4 years. My options are:

    1st - Soto (3rd yr)
    2nd - Freddie Freeman (4th yr)
    4th - Walker Buehler (1st yr)
    13th - Marcus Semien
    14th - Sandy Alcantara
    15th - Luis Robert (waiver claim) (1st yr)

    The obvious keepers (to me) are: Soto in the 1st, Buehler in the 4th, and Robert in the 15th. After that, I'm struggling to decide who I want. Freddie in the 2nd seemed like the obvious choice but I don't see him beating that draft spot by a whole lot. This is also the final year I could keep him. I am leaning toward Semien, regardless of age, because of how badly he will beat that 13th round valuation.

    Am I overthinking this or should I just be taking Freddie?

    I think you’re right. What are you pitching metrics. I think Alcantara is a stud, but if it’s Wins instead of QS or IP, he’s probably not a take. Semien is good value for sure. I think 1B is pretty deep.

    I would go Semien or Alcantara. Just depends if you value pitching over hitting or vice versa

    I definitely think you throw out Freeman. Dodgers have the luxury of shelving a guy for a month or two because they are so stacked.

    I'd lean Semien as well.

    Here’s my draft from Tuesday night for the HTH 12 team league 6x6 with OBP and QS added. 12 pitchers regardless of position, 5 OF, CI, MI, DH, UT x2 are the differences in rosters. Please roast me and give me some feedback where I should look early on in the waivers.

    I was surprised too. I snapped him up instantly. All of the top 5 pitchers went between 1.9 and 2.7 plus a couple over drafts like Wander Franco and Albies went ahead of me.

    Keeper...same round value. Adley Rutschman or Shane McClanahan? Already keeping Betts, Tatis, Semien, Rendon, and Wander

    Cron would be a good pickup. 1B is deep. You could probably trade for a guy like him without giving up a lot?

    Started this thread back up asking the question. I’ll run it, or organize if someone else wants to commish. I think we have three, there’s an attempt every year and we always fail.

    Depends on the site for me. If it’s different from my home leagues, I’ll inevitably forget to check it regularly. Fantrax or ESPN I could do

    I haven't played in years so I don't know what the typical rules are anymore. Also up to use ESPN or Yahoo.
