Just a little programming note… I won’t be doing First Take videos on Wednesdays. I’m too busy.
AGENDA
Here’s today’s chat transcript.
| 4:03 |
: Hey folks, I lost track of time while building DFS lineups. We’ll get started in a moment.
|
| 4:05 |
: Franchy or Teoscar for long term keeper?
|
| 4:05 |
: Franchy, I think. They’re both high variance profiles. I kind of see the same floor and median outcomes with Franchy having more upside.
|
| 4:05 |
: Thank you for hosting SEAGER REPLACEMENT CHAT. Thoughts on Healy right now? He’s my replacement (Machado moves to SS) over guys like Cozart, Davidson, Andujar, Peraza. 10 team standard H2H. Senzel still worth stashing to replace this bunch?
|
| 4:06 |
: Can stash Senzel. I prefer Davidson and Cozart to Healy.
|
| 4:06 |
: They’re all pretty similar, albeit with very different stat distributions.

Day 1 on FantasyDraft was a success. Let’s keep it rolling!
AGENDA
Last Friday, I announced our new no rake GPP with FantasyDraft. To help set the appropriately sized contest, we’re doing freerolls this week Monday through Thursday. Signing up for the free roll can help us to get bigger guarantees in the future.
AGENDA
Shaking things up just in time for the weekend.
AGENDA
Happy Thursday. Expect an announcement tomorrow.
AGENDA
If a current FantasyDraft user were to send me a referral, I would greatly appreciate it. Well, you may greatly appreciate it too. (MISSION COMPLETE)
AGENDA
Here’s today’s chat transcript, including a bunch of questions about whether or not you should use Shohei Ohtani tonight.
| 4:00 |
: Hey folks. Start sending positive thought vibes for Makesiondon Kelkboom. We need him to make the majors.
|
| 4:00 |
: With Hoskins attempting to steal bags, am I out of my mind thinking he can put up a final stat line similar to what Machado did in 2015? Might not get 20 stolen bases if the league catches up with what he’s doing or keep the K% below 20%, but one could only dream!
|
| 4:01 |
: As long as his legs hold up, he could have some crazy roto numbers. Typically, players of Hoskins’ speed and size don’t stay frisky on the basepaths for long
|
| 4:01 |
: He’s not actually similar to Machado in athleticism
|
| 4:01 |
: 12 team QS league. Should Marquez be held on to and just play matchups or should that spot be more of a streamer spot with guys like McCarthy/Williams/Newcomb/Stratton/etc?
|
| 4:02 |
: All four of those alternatives are better – either as streamers or full time rosterees

The 40-entry Invitational was a success. It took about three hours to fill. My deal stands. We’ll keep doing a larger Invitational until it doesn’t fill. Then we switch to FanDuel for a week. Sorry to those waiting to switch platforms. I’m just being a good little economist and following the demand.
AGENDA
Last week, I ran a twitter poll to see if we should stick to DraftKings or spend a week on FanDuel. The results were… inconclusive.
For readers of The Daily Grind.
FanDuel next week?

That’s 15 for yes, 30 for no, and two folks suffering existential crises. On the one hand, the DraftKings crowd won by a two-to-one margin. On the other hand, the 15 FanDuel votes are nearly enough to fill a contest on that platform. Here’s my compromise. We’re going to bump up to a 40 entry contest on DraftKings. Top 10 paid. If we don’t fill the contest, we switch to FanDuel tomorrow.
