X_Factor_40 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 Bo Bichette isn’t in the system yet, but he should be soon as he’s in other fantasy systems (CBS, for example). Once they add him to ESPN, I’ll add him to my roster. Until then, I’ll keep a hole open and dedicated to him, and won’t fill it with any other player. I’m really looking forward to watching this kid develop. He’s my only prospect that I plan to draft this year. I missed out on Vlad, so I had to take Bichette early to get my backup plan. With prospects starting to fly off the board, I couldn’t wait any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifted my philosophy this year after refusing to overdraft ADP for young talent in past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer your strategy ANY day over outright tanking. I’m grnuinely interested to watch your roster and see how you do with these kids. It’ll be fun to watch.

The Jays are one of my favorite teams, so it’s exciting having these kids SO young and showing so much promise. I never know when to draft a prospect in this league, but I try to go by feel. I love rostering one kid like this that gives some added excitement to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The only thing that bothers me is when people have lineups filled with guys in the minors. I get it, in a way, but this isn’t a dynasty league. You can only keep five players. You should be able to fill out a legit lineup of major leaguers and have room for some prospects if you want to - our rosters are pretty big and we don’t have that many spots in the lineup to fill. As far as I know this was never really brought up or discussed in the off-season despite being a bit of a problem (where teams don’t reach their innings requirement or have empty lineup spots). There’s rebuilding and super tanking, and it can be taken to an extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm not really worried about it. Detfan has a legit roster, and a bunch of other guys (myself included) basically haven't even started drafting yet. As long as teams actually field a roster of players in the majors, everything else they do is pretty much fair game... It's pretty easy to fill out an entire roster even just off the waiver wire.

X_Factor_40 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 I’ve never been an LM that supports telling people how to run their teams. I’ve been in leagues like that, and am in a dynasty league like that for football and it’s not fun, at all. I really don’t want to have to put rules for that in place. As long as we don’t have teams start benching their whole pitching staff to throw a matchup, or something like that, I think people should have as much freedom as possible to build their roster and look to the future. If something crazy happens in the future I have no problem talking about it. I think for now we’re in fine shape, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fun watching them both together in A ball last year. First time I went to a bunch of Lugnuts games in a long time. Will be fun to see them come up although I doubt either get a look this year and maybe not even next year full time. They are super young and pushed their way out of Low A ball but they need time to develop at a couple more levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
