i am probably going to begin our draft while finishing my other one and fully expect to make some rushed, bone-headed calls out of the gate!

good draft everybody!
link to the google sheet where you can see who is keeper eligible for 2023, because it's never too early to give up on this year and look to the future, right? i'll keep the drops updated as often as possible.

RP1: Paul Sewald RP2: Diego CastilloRP3: Anthony Bender
I may have overdone it with targeting high OBP guys. I def reached for Manoah and Greene (I was lucky McClanahan fell as far as he did), and Reynolds + Winker are solid over-27 options. Liking my keeper option in a season I figure I’d have to retool (wanted to hedge my bets with Lindor, Kelenic and Flaherty)

xp i was surprised too re: bell!
i didn't even aim for this positional eligibility, just kinda ended up where people fell to me. by the end i was legitimately confused as to what positions i needed to draft backups for. i'm still not sure!

My team speed is really lousy, i kind of dropped the ball there. Lots of base cloggers. The most NSB from last season with Tatis on the shelf: 6 from Swanson, followed by 3 from Turner.

C Wilson Contreras1B Jose Abreu2B Eduardo Escobar SS Bo Bichette (K)3B Alex Bregman (K)OF Christian Yelich, Kike Hernandez, Jared Walsh (K)Util: Shohei Ohtani (K)bench: Steven Kwan, Will Myers, Dustin Harris (NA)
SP: Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, Luis Severino, Shane Baz, Marcus Stroman, Dylan Cease (K)RP: Craig Kimbrel, Will Smith, Jake McGee, Garrett Whitlock
A lot of question marks. If Yelich and Severino bounce back, while Ray, Ohtani, and Abreu continue to be good then it's a good team. I feel the collapse potential is high though (Abreu will be 35, Kimbrel is Kimbrel, Ray has been inconsistent for most of his career, and so on).
No speed on my team, as usual. My bench is weak and not very deep, I drafted four relievers and I'm not really sure why.
Corbin Burnsen's offense looks terrifying, if Perez and Belt carry over their success from last year and Tatis and Stanton get/stay healthy.

The Jarred Kelenic experiment is probably over for the Baddoos. My 9th place team just can’t manage room for him on the bench. If anyone has more faith than I do, feel free to offer literally anything.

mostly pretty easy decisions this season. vaguely considering swapping in Andrew Vaughn for Paddack but for now this is the crew. i'm gonna need bats.
― na (NA), Monday, February 14, 2022 2:42 PM (three months ago) bookmarkflaglink
well i made the wrong decision there (by keeping chris paddack instead of andrew vaughn). i think i dropped paddack even before he got tommy john, while vaughn is looking like a solid hitter who will probably continue to improve. vaughn is available but having him as keeper-eligible would have been the real value.
