No reason why we can't finish this today. If you're not using your last pick, please let me know instead of letting your clock run out.

Thank you Connor. Draft is over.

 

I've waived all FAs and reduced roster sizes back to 26. Please clean your rosters ASAP. If you drafted someone who doesn't have a green flag, a commish can move them to your farm.

Good job keeping the draft going at a solid pace Gentleman.

 

I am really happy with my draft.

 

I don't ever recall a draft with so much good near ready/ready MLB pitching. Nine out of the ten times if they are any good they would have already been taken in a FYPD/J2.

 

My picks:

 

Pick 1- Gavin Stone SP LAD. Stone is in the mix for a SP slot with the Dodgers later this year. Many have Stone over Miller, regardless, a MLB ready SP.

 

Pick 2- Tink Hence- SP STL. Hink is a bit behind Stone just going into AA this year. However still relatively close to a shot at MLB considering most FYPD pitchers. Also, outside of Blue Jays circles (Tiedman), I would say one of the hottest spec SPs in terms of trade value and Fantasy player interest.

 

Pick 3 - Tyler Locklear 3b/1b SEA. This Dude crushes the ball with elite EV. He tore up the AFL with multiple HRs games. Teams send their best to the AFL so it wasn't like weak competition.

 

Pick 4. Gabriel Gonzalez - CF/OF SEA I deviated from my college ball and near ready pick strategy to take a 19 yr old Gonzalez. Some fantasy outlets have GGon as the top prospect in the M's solid stystem and compare him to a shorter and stockier JRod. Willing to excersise patience on this one.

 

Pick 5. Robert Gasser- SP MIL Came to the BrewCrew in the Josh Hader trade. The dude tore up the minors and is near MLB ready. Another near MLB ready SP in this year's draft.

 

Pick 6. Connor Phillips- SP CIN Came over to Cincy in the Suarez and Winker trade with the M's. One of the Red's top milb pitchers he is already at AA and a jump to the majors for a rebuilding Red's team would not be out of the question this season.

 

Pick 7. DJ Herz - Cubs minor league pitcher of the year in 2021, the consensus is the kid had MLB stuff. It is just whether he will end up a SP or high leverage RP. Cubs are really high on him. Possibility of a late season cup of coffee, more likely 2024. However, not too far away for a FYPD draft pitcher with really good stuff that an org is so high on.

 

For my last pick of the 2023 FYPD.

 

Pick 8. Prelander Berroa- SP SEA. The M's put Berroa on their 40 man to protect him this year. The M's are high on him and feel they can get his BBs in line to go with his 35.6% plus K rate. Berroa pitched in AA last season and is again an high potential SP not too far from the MLB... Can you see the theme of my draft...

 

Anyway, until next years draft.

Correcting DD's post - the pitching in the AFL is generally subpar, and was particularly so in 2022.

 

Pearson pitched in the AFL prior to breaking into the bigs. Pitchers in the AFL in 2022 were guys like Quin Preister and Tink Hence.

 

Maybe saying orgs send all their top pitchers is not correct. I will rephrase, there is some very solid pitching in the AFL. From the offensive stats you are compared to/your competing against some serious studs.

If that is the best you can do to find fault in my draft, I will consider it a success. ;)

Not thrilled with my 1st pick (Norby - 4th overall). Kind of assumed I could trade this pick but it didn't happen.

After that, it went decently well.

 

Connor Norby

Kyle Manzardo

Ricky Tiedemann

Adael Amador

Wilmer Flores

Cole Young

Dalton Rushing

Gabriel Martinez

Enmanuel Valdez

Nelson Quiroz

Bryan Ramos

 

Also picked up Oswald Peraza and Austin Wells along the way.

Do we need rosters set properly before spring training starts??

 

What if we drop someone and they get picked up on waivers, only for there to be an injury to someone else on the roster early in spring training? I guess you’re just SOL in that situation?

Pretty sure waiver priority is messed up

 

Always after using the draft room, FT glitch.

 

Fixed it.

No, you don't have to worry about anything until the regular season starts.

Once your rosters are legal this one time, you’re free to do whatever you want until next years’s NPD except add players who haven’t played a MLB game. Fantrax won’t let you add players above the roster size limits, and wont let you keep players on the IL if their red flag is gone. You’ll be going to the FA pool often to replace injured/underperforming players.
