At least for me Baty feels like an average infield bat you could pickup off waivers which is not terribly valuable in a 20 team, though he does seem to have a clear path for MLB playing time in the near future, I just don't feel like his ceiling is particularly high even when he was mashing in double-A

 

He’s definitely got some different projections going on. I usually like The Bat more than the others and they don’t like him all. Pretty solid projections everywhere else though

Maybe not but 3B is really thin these days

[Spanky__99]

George Springer for Bobby Miller, Brett Baty, and a 3rd that will be like #45 likely.

Fair? Springer team is rebuilding and has a need at both positions

 

Owner is a Newb, so figured to lay it out there

 

You know he posts on this forum everyday, right? He's not rebuilding, hasn't said so anyhow, meat.

I know douchebag, he’s getting his feet wet, so I was letting the peanut gallery chip in

For a final roster cutdown, who would you cut: James Paxton or Stephen Strasburg?

Strasburg is virtually retired

He's such a tool, lmao.

[BlueRocky]

I’m still getting mild ptsd from springer and bo collision in centerfield

[connorp]

Trading for guys that will play in 2023 is a soft rebuild if anything anyway. Blow me

You won't miss either but Strasburg seems done. Paxton a remote chance to be useful again. I guess.

I was going to pick Painter with the first pick, but with his elbow tenderness should I pivot to Tiedemann? Other options are Baz and Flaherty. The team won't compete for a couple years so it doesn't matter if they aren't playing until next year sometime.

Of the 4, it's still Painter for me, but if you are leery, a Tiedemann pivot is the right play.

[Spanky__99]

How are those guys available, lol???

Tiedemann and Painter have equal talent so Ricky is the easy choice now

We don’t want to go down this rabbit hole again lol

[BlueRocky]

If all healthy I like Baz > Painter > Tiedemann

 

If health risk matters to you Tiedemann > Painter > Baz

 

I trust the Rays pitching development pedigree also pitcher friendly environment. Painter’s stuff is disgusting but also screams TJ flags, but the talent is undeniable.

I’m not sure Tiedemann is exactly #1 upside just yet, the sample is kinda small to take that leap of faith. But a lot of reports indicate the lefty has the stuff to be frontline. We really won’t know until he comes up here.

20 year old lefty throws 97-99 FB, plus slider, and plus-plus change up. If this is not #1 upside, what is exactly?

Crochet for 2 2nds? I feel that’s a pretty good offer, no?

[Laika]

2nds are worthless in 20+ team leagues

Don’t project your inadequacies onto others. I feel I’ve performed solid there

[Laika]

it doesn't matter, they are still basically worthless

[Carlos Danger]

2nds are worthless in 20+ team leagues

 

I would say diluted vs a 12 teamer etc, but worthless? 2-1 = 21st overall and there is still a lot of value to be had in the 20s if you draft well.

Is Stone available?

Okay, go try to trade one for anything other than a cut candidate or mediocre reliever

 

They only periodically have some tiny bit of value

[BTS]

They don't have much value on their own, but I always like getting 2nds as kickers in bigger deals.
