Projections for this season for this kid?
I've got the 4th overall pick in my draft, and I'm looking at grabbing him.
We've got 5 player farms as well, but I think I'd want a utility hitter with upside in that spot.
Points-only, Full Keeper Dynasty League
Active roster (no starts, just total points): 12 FW, 6 D, 1 Goalie
Forwards: Kucherov, Barkov, Teravainen, Seguin, Hoffman, Lindholm, Gusev, Horvat, Meier, Perron, Schwartz, Johansen, Pavelski, Buchnevich, Hischier, Granlund, Bracco
Defense: Josi, Dahlin, Letang, Gostisbehere, Ekman-Larsson, Petry, Slavin, Keith, Matheson
Goal: Lehner, Holtby, Varlamov
Farm: Soderstrom, York, Woo, Tracey, Dorofeyev
Don't know yet. Keepers are due next week, and that'll give me a list.
My gut says he'll be a mid first rounder -- the top 12 at each position should be locked up as keepers. I'm thinking (based on who I would protect for most teams) that I'll be looking at one of:
Rizzo
P. Alvarez
B. Phillips
J. Werth
That's assuming I look to fill my Util spot with my first pick (we protect every other starting position, so that'd be my plan).
Although those projections make Abreu a bit more intriguing!
I'd ideally love to nab an OF early as well -- since that's the spot I'm most worried about. Not sold on Brown repeating. I'm currently protecting:
1B Goldschmidt
2B - Gyorko
3B - Beltre
SS - Desmond
C - Santana
OF - Marte, Choo, D. Brown
SP - Hamels, Greinke, Gio Gonzalez, Ryu
RP - Street, Robertson
Farm (which I can switch out at the draft): M. Sano, T. Bauer, M. Olt, D. Pomeranz, Y. Grandal.
(Grandal and probably Pomeranz are gonna get called into my team and be early drops -- I've got to decide on the others, depending on whom I draft.)
It's a Yahoo H2H, standard cats league
After running the numbers, I think I'm competitive in HRs, RBIs, Avg and probably SBs.
With pitching, my team seems strong in ERA, WHIP and hopefully Wins. Who knows about Svs....
I'm thinking of locking up Util spot with first pick, then focusing on 2 youngsters for the farm with the next two. Then turn my attention to SP, OF, and RP early.
Thoughts?

Oh, and sorry for the total thread shift -- I should post this in the Keeper league section!

I like the look of your team, except the minors. I like to go BPA myself. I don't draft by scheduling position order.
Looks like Abreu might be the best guy, although i like Rizzo a lot.
Rizzo over Abreu
