Picking 2nd in MLB

[hockeyrobot]

In a league with 2B and BB as categories... I feel like Soto is the clear #1.

I'm picking 2nd and the guy in 1st is a massive Jays fan so I think he'll go Vlad. But if he does go Soto.... Who is my #2 overall?

R, 2B, HR, RBI, BB, SB, Avg

Maybe baseball fatigue on the site lol

H2H or Roto?

I haven't checked the stats of each player but would Turner make sense? If roto I would be tempted with him to give you all round coverage.

I never play in leagues with BB so had no idea that Turner didn't walk that much. Yeah, if you are confident in getting more steals as you go then Soto seems like a good choice at #2. Though, as you know, in H2H it's all about just winning the matchup and SB is just one category and that's likely the only one that he would significantly out produce the other two. It also depends on the starting positions used - Turner gives you that flexibility, but Soto is helpful if you start more than 3 OF.

I don't think there's a bad choice. It comes down to what foundation you want to start with on your roster.

If he goes Vladdy, you go Soto.

I know you picked Soto here, but I think that was the right choice. I feel like even someone like Ramirez could be higher than Turner, but walks are super volatile so it's hard to think who beats who when it's not clear cut.

Turner could have 50 2B this yr. Guy had 17 in 52games with the Dodgers last yr. I don't think you could have went wrong here. I would have prolly gone Soto/Guerrero then Turner 3rd, Ramirez 4th.

Ya i think Soto just provides too much. But I am a bit short on SB now but I'll figure it out.

Bo went 4th. Ramirez 5th. Big Jays league lol.
