Holds can still be earned in those innings. Plus I think his chances taking over as closer for the future best team in the AL.

Can't only 1 player earn a hold? So if he leaves in the 7th, player comes in to pitch the 8th, then Giles pitches the 9th. Random pitcher in the 8th gets the hold then Giles gets the save?

If multiple pitchers can earn a hold then i'm dead wrong

Also curious on if Familia gets a 30 or a 50+game suspension. Still hasn't been announced.

I don't have yahoo access at work... is it possible as well to get the positions listed at the top of the Draft results as well?

Good pick on Bradley Jr. He was who I was planning on taking if he got to me in a couple picks. He was #1 in my queue.

More than one pitcher can get a hold. I've seen instances where a starter went to the 5th with a lead, and each successive inning was a new pitcher getting a hold, with the closer getting the save.

Ya, I forget where a hold kicks in. The worst is a guy who comes in with a an 8-5 lead, say he gives up say 2 runs, bases are loaded, but managed to get 1 guy out and leaves, he gets credit for a hold.

It does happen, for sure. Can really make things interesting with spreading out reliever value.
I was hemming and hawing between a few guys, but JBJ was the one I thought least likely to make it back to my next pick.
Horrorfan, the top of the draft thread has been updated.

Thanks. Is this H2H or Roto? Interesting category split - I don't tend to see an imbalance between hitting and pitching.

H2H, I'll add that too.
I have it in one or two of my leagues, and I like it actually. Puts a touch more emphasis on the offence, which is what we really like to see in fantasy sports.

I did not know about the pending suspension on Familia... too late now.

It's def not getting the same attention as Chapman's last yr, even weirder because Familia has been charged and Chapman didnt have charges on him when he was suspended

[Eskimo Brother]

Yeah. We're definitely getting to the bottom of a tier of guys, so you can either go for the high risk/high upside guys still on the board, or just start making safer picks.

Thats why I took my chances with King Felix. Hoping for a bounce back year. I've read good things about his off season training.

Could definitely end up being a big steal for you.

I think Im going to really regret not going Salazar or Quintana with my last pick.
