A little Draft Talk since we're a bit past the halfway point. (1st round has been pretty solid so far)
Team with the most amount of picks remaining: PHI w/ 12, COL w/ 10, MLW w/9
Team with the least amount of picks remaining: BOS w/ 0, NYY w/ 1, OAK w/ 2
Favorite Pick: CIN w/ Walter Jenkins #4 Overall.
The Upside/Risk Play: TOR w/ Leo de Vries
The Floor/Safe Play : ARI w/ Nolan Schanuel
The player who got sniped: KCR w/ Tommy Troy #10
The team most interested to see at the end: PHI

For me the trade compensation has been eye popping this year. Everyone seems (rightly) super high on this class.

Enjoying our first draft experience. Other than the people that take our guys before they get to us of course

Shock of the draft (IMO) - Gonzalez going 7th. Time will tell, and what do I know? But that was the only super unconventional pick so far IMO.

It's going to be really interesting to see what most consider arguably the deepest class in a while in the next 2-3 years.
The hits & the misses, kind of fun to look back and see who you took vs who you should have taken... "Hello Darkness my old friend"

I love the Aduan Miller announcement. I would like more of that.
I see a couple players slipping that have me intrigued.
That Gonzalez pick has me on full alert in some other leagues. I took a flier on him in the mid 2nd when I saw that pick. š
I always pay close attention to Kev. He doesnāt mid grabbing a guy a little early if he likes the talent. Trades are interesting thus far as well.
I moved 5 - 1st round picks and decided against the rebuild. š¤£š¤£š¤·āāļø

Not a whole lot of surprise picks so far. Round 1 going pretty much as expected or close to it.
What I'm most interested in is if the activity of moving continues into R2 and R3. Very deep draft so who's excited to move up and get the guys they want.

I'm actually surprised there wasn't a bit more movement tbh. I get it with it being deeper not a whole lot of separation after Leo de Vries/Nolan imo. I think some teams were obviously a bit more aggressive and went to go their guy. I expected a few more teams to be involved. Funny thing is that without 5th overall, there might have been a lot less trading imo.

Bo Bichette - 2.25
Tatis Jr - 2.28
Beiber - 2.16
J Rodriguez - 2.30
Hunter Brown - 3.14
I'm sure there is a million more more there is a lot of value after the 1st if you can prospect effectively.

I snagged Ethan Salas last year and flipped him this year in a deal for Vlad.
I donāt feel like I spent a 1 on Salas. š¤

There should be a poll on which team we think is the first to miss their time slot!

Does FA start earlier if the draft ends earlier? No. Those are m-f weeks that align with the start of the season. There will be a period between the draft and FA where the league office checks fantrax. |

Took me a while to comprehend that one but I think he's saying his watch list has all players from past draft up to the 4th round plus an additional 40
