I know who I'm taking second overall, and that's about it.

Can't wait to steal your picks every round.

I have 2 targets for my 4th overall pick so I am guaranteed one of them.

It's a snake draft, goes both ways haha.

Pretty sure you need four targets for fourth overall to be guaranteed one of them

I was waiting for this comment. I am guaranteed one of them, trust me.

Is this mind games in hopes that one of the top 2 somehow fall to you at 4?

But I know what you mean... there is 2 and then 2.

I'm pick 8, 17, 32, and 41. Hmmmm.

I wonder if I'm gonna pick 4 pitchers....Sale, Kluber, Severino, and Buehler! I just picked the closest lower pitcher based on my picks, I'm not targeting them lol.

We also thought Puljujarvi was the surefire top 3 with Matthews and Laine.

Last season Altuve was the surefire number 2, and he finished with a season ranking of 55. You never know

You won't get Kluber. I am pick 9 so I pick right before you on the way back down...

Yes... I agree... But how would anyone have felt if they passed on Altuve and then he was the best bat in baseball. You got to always err on the side of caution with those top picks. You may look like a genius if you pass on them and they do fall to 55... but if you pass on them and they end up being #1 that is gonna eat at you all year!

[Eskimo Brother]

Fair points
Guess we'll just have to wait until Monday the 25th to see who I draft! As long as the guy we assume to go #1 goes #1...

[PenguinHunter]

If I recall, the idea of trading draft positions has came up in the past seasons and we have said no to this correct?

Or I am recalling this from a different league.

[Eskimo Brother]

I think it's a no since it's a one year league. If you want to coordinate with someone and make sure they pick the right people in the right slots, then swap after, there's no one stopping you.

Sorry, I meant trading draft positions... not picks. So if I draft 9th and someone who drafts 4th wants to trade... we trade that position for the whole draft, not just a couple picks in the draft.

Ah I see. I dunno. I leave that up to HR, but my inkling is no.

It just usually comes up, so i figured discussing proactively!
