TGFBI Check-In (1:40) What round are y’all in? How are the teams looking? Favorite pick of yours? About In This League: Podcast 99 Debates book OF Pt. 2 Using ADP from 2.1.19 – present on Draft Champions To preempt some comments, I’ll mention that one guy I missed who I 100% meant to include was Jackie Bradley Jr. I’m a fan and I’m definitely drafting him. I was a bit under the weather putting this rundown together and missed him. Are we getting the Victor Robles breakout? (16:30) Favorite rabbit: Dee Gordon (105), Billy Hamilton (152), Greg Allen (301), Delino DeShields Jr. (338)? (24:05) Is Justin Upton underrated because he’s boring? (35:15) Is Eloy Jimenez (124) a sneak-tip bargain compared to Robles & Vlad Jr.? (37:25) Are you buying an Andrew McCutchen bounceback in PHI? (42:42) Favorite pwr-spd combo: Wil Myers (106), A.J. Pollock (108), Aaron Hicks (125), Ian Desmond (146)? (44:55) How do you approach drafting Joey Gallo? (55:33) Is pairing him w/Michael Brantley the move? (1:00:07) Which lefty – Michael Conforto (106) or David Peralta (135)? (1:03:29) Are concerns of Ender Inciarte’s batting spot overblown? (1:13:10) Is this the year for Byron Buxton? (1:21:50) Another pwr-spd combo pick: Harrison Bader (172), Brandon Nimmo (177), Austin Meadows (178), Ramon Laureano (182)? (1:29:20) Better breakout bet at their cost: Nomar Mazara (160) or Max Kepler (236)? (1:31:33) Better injury gamble at their cost: Ryan Braun (196) or Matt Kemp (326)? (1:33:46) Best later-round AVG pick: Corey Dickerson (192), Jesse Winker (207), or Jose Martinez (234)? (1:37:27) Favorite pwr pick: Stephen Piscotty (159), Hunter Renfroe (188), Kyle Schwarber (213), Franmil Reyes (226)? (1:44:35) Assuming he misses a month, how are you approaching Gregory Polanco (251)? (1:50:46) Another pwr pick: Trey Mancini (228), Randal Grichuk (238), Jay Bruce (274), Daniel Palka (315)? (1:54:40) Why is a guy who went 30 HR/15 SB in 2017 going 235th (Domingo Santana)? (1:58:50) Buying back in on Ian Happ (261)? (2:04:35) Is Cedric Mullins II (273) a sneaky late gamble? (2:06:44) Favorite “where are they gonna play?” gamble: Kyle Tucker (272), Tyler O’Neill (349), or Franchy Cordero (349)? (2:09:25) Everyone pick 2 post-300 OF we haven’t discussed (2:13:20) Paul: Christin Stewart, Lewis Brinson Welsh: Avisail Garcia, Steven Souza Jr. Justin: Willie Calhoun, Teoscar Hernandez Bogman: Jorge Soler, Adam Jones — As usual, don’t hesitate to tweet us or comment with fantasy questions.
