Can you guys switch me from the 4 pm auction Friday in Vegas to the $1500 auction championship on Saturday at 4pm? I am in the ultimate on Friday at 4pm. James Maples

I am a fan of the Gladiator format. It lets me get the drafting itch scratched and adds zero stress for the season.

I just drafted Juan Soto with the 11th pick. I think last year was just an off year for the slugger. We will probably find out some excuse of why he had such a bad year in the coming days, I just hope it wasn't a lingering injury he enduring. I love reading you pieces, keep up the good work.

You have had many good ones, but this one is awesome.

The auction format is simply the best format for die hard fantasy baseball players. I don't typically have a hard plan going into the auction. I spent money early and had to sit on my hands for a couple of hours. Here are the results C Yasmani Grandal $9 C Max Stassi $1 1B Jake Cronenworth $9 2B Bre...

Is Seiya Suzuki this years Ha-Seong Kim? Suzuki's ADP is around 208 this month and I can't remember exactly where Kim was going last year, but I am getting a little deja vu. I hear some of the talking heads saying that if you want Kim to draft him now because after he signs his stock will rise like ...

Wainwright has been going around the ADP 200. I am not sure where he should be going but the numbers he has put up the last two years is a little eye opening. 2020 shortened season 3.15 ERA, 65.2 IP, 54K's, 5 Wins and 1.05 WHIP 2021 season 3.05 ERA, 206.1 IP, 174K's, 17 Wins and 1.06 WHIP Blake Snel...

I haven’t drafted Mondesi this year but I have one share of Buxton in 8 DC’s this year. The appeal I see is that you usually get remarkable production when they are on the field, and there is always the outside chance that they play close to a full season. If you get a half season of great productio...

I will take a spot

Dan, Aquino is a good example of what I think Adolis will be this coming year. I think the major difference between Adolis and several of the other young guys that struggle is that the scouts don’t think he has the hit tool. Riley had similar struggles to Adolis but he was considered a top prospect....

Is it possible to add another $1500 auction championship on Friday morning in Vegas at 10 am?

This is one of the guys I can't get behind for the coming year. Last years stats are as follows. .243 AVG 31 Homers 90 RBI 77 Runs 16 SB's He is being taken around the 150-160 mark in ADP. He started the year off crazy hot and ended the year insanely cold. 1st half .270 AVG .312 OBP (I include OBP b...

It is still early. I still can't believe that I have so many shares of Strasburg.

Greg should have bought one of those cheap closers. I got Bass for $2, he could have had him for a dollar more

I will take a spot

I do agree that there is a ton of cheap talk going on in different podcasts. One of the worst guys I have listened to is Cliff Floyd, I don't think he has a clue about fantasy baseball. Most podcasters will hit on some guys and miss on others. Saul Sauer has made some pretty good calls in the past b...

We only need 11 players to fill the first auction of the 2021 season. Come on guys we auction tonight

Let's fill this Dec 22 auction. We only need 13 more players

I fell for Danny Santana in some drafts last year after he put up this stat line in 2019 .283 28 81 81 and 21 stolen bases.I think he went around the 9th round and those stats looked like a value at that point in the draft. Looking back I knew he had not put up those kind of numbers in previous year...

I would be interested in doing one of these earlier than usual

I was watching the game with my dad and I told him that Snell doesn't normally pitch deep into games, but his pitch count was so low and he was so effective it would be crazy to pull him. It reminds me of them pulling Greinke early when he was so effective in a different World Series

I would prefer the $1200 entry also. I am an optimist and think this shortened season benefits my fantasy game

The auctions are always fun and this one was super fast paced. I am not as pleased with my pitching. I bought several Astros as you can tell. C Grandal 11 C. Posey. 3 1b. Hosmer. 4 2B. Altuve. 24 SS. Andrus. 11 3B. Arenado. 34 CI. Bregman. 30 MI. Correa. 11 UT. Miggy. 2 OF. JD Martinez 31 OF. Spring...
