I like the discussion about where to take E5 and Chris Davis in the 2014 draft but I think you left out a key factor which is E5’s 3B eligibility and I think that boosts his value a lot since you only compared him to 1B’s.
He has only played 3rd in 10 games, so he’s not eligible in most leagues that have 20 game eligibility (all leagues I play in use that minimum). But yeah, depending on your league context, he could get a slight value boost at 3rd.
I actually like pitcher wins… Makes streaming more viable and streaming pitchers is my jam.
Mike… you really make it look so easy to predict the future. Wish I had your skills!
