Draft Feedback

Any feedback on overall strategy and players to target in the first couple rounds would be great. I’m really looking for guys who could be real keeper quality players in the first two rounds, I don’t care what position they’re at. Either a bounce back candidate or a young player moving into that role.

For long-term pitching, I like Masterson and Minor best out of that group. If Darvish is available, definitely take him. Long-term sleeper hitting, see if Bryce Brentz (OF, Bos) is available for your MiLB roster.

I was thinking Masterson as well. Any minors you can even think of are already taken. I'm really thinking Duda might be the best value even though I have plenty of hitters.

Masterson appears to be the best of the group

Spahn could be a bounce back candidate.

I am not saying draft these two in the first couple of rounds but Seager is looking good this spring, and Ryan Doumit should get some additional at bats in the Outfield and DH for the Twins. He could get some decent at bats if you need a second catcher

Ramos, Masterson, Marmol, Duda

Draft was last night. 20 Team League - I have Parmelee, Donaldson, Marrero, Cardenas as likely callups in my minors.
