    Default 3rd pick tonight..help

    R, HR, RBI, SB, BB, Avg
    W, K, SV+H, ERA, WHIP

    3rd overall pick tonight and trying to maybe convince myself OUT of taking Betts or Altuve....because I really really want a top tier 3B and as some of you know, I missed out in our league.

    Can anyone make an argument for taking Bryant over Betts/Altuve?? Or is the 5/6 category production just too much to let go?

    Bryant is my favorite from the 3 but I usually draft players that I like rather than the BPA. However, in this case at 3, I would rank them as follows:

    Betts
    Bryant
    Altuve

    I assume it's going to be Trout, Kershaw and then ...

    How about trading down a few spots? I want Harper in my draft; no way we saw the real version of him last year... Worst case, I also think that Arenado has another gear in him come this year.
    Keeper league 14 teams (H2H, 20 active players keep 16 NHLers, 16 minors)
    Scoring Cats: G-A-PTS-PPG-PPA-(+/-)-HITS-BLK-SHP-SOG-FOW-GWG / W-L-SVS-SV%-GAA-SO

    C- Crosby, Barzal, Bennett, Schmaltz, Novak
    W- Forsberg, Batherson, Nichuskin, Tuch, Konecny, Maccelli, Sharangovich, Bertuzzi, Kaliyev, Neighbours, Reichel
    D- Carlson, Rielly, Klingberg
    G- Hellebuyck, Demko, Merzlikins, Vejmelka

    Minors:
    F: Fantilli, Cooley, Bourgault, Perreault, Cowan, Ohgren, N. Foote, Goyette, Iskhakov, Denisenko, Tracey
    D: Simashev, Willander, Lambos

    No it's just a yearly league...no way to trade picks.

    My top 3 in any fantasy draft this year are Bryant, Arenado, Altuve. If Altuve falls to you then go for it. There are still 3B later in the draft that you an steal such as Sano, Lamb, Bregman or if you really want to roll the dice, Sandoval.

    Betts is probably 4th in my ranking.

    I meant it as 1: Bryant, 2: Arenado etc.
    Trout is great and would probably round out my top 5, with Betts. I would flop them depending on the day.

    I love Trout don't get me wrong, but being an OF in LA where there is no support knocks him down enough for me to have other players listed higher than him.

    Is this a 12 team league?

    That makes it look a little better. Hopefully Swanson can come through for you at SS. I would say that's your biggest trade target if you're looking early.

    Ya it was actually crazy. SS like Xander, Lindor and Story all went in round 2!! Villar in 3. Segura in 4. So at that point I wasn't going to take someone early just because. I didn't mind the deeper guys.

    Happens sometimes. Looks like you got a few steals at other positions because of it, so I hope it pays off!
