Can't hurt. He hits left handed too I think.

Wow good for him. I'll be rooting for him.

Pitching is interesting because a good set up man can be worth more than closers depending on how points are configured. From my experience points leagues kind of bring more parity to a league, which is good in theory, but it's hard to really separate yourself from other teams. You're choosing guys that average 2.3 points a day vs. 2.4 points a day which totals to .7 points a week. Mostly I guess it depends on how points are configured. My one league there's not much separation between players. Obviously the more points you CAN accumulate the more players can seperate themselves and the more strategy you can use. If your pitchers get negative points for giving up runs it can get interesting. My one league sometimes states can go -20 or worse if they get rocked. Like any league, know your rules going in and figure out a strategy or try to find if pitching or hitters can go for more and draft accordingly. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I love taking power hitters so I figure when in doubt load up. I haven't gotten the exact rules yet though. I'd like to know how many points steals are worth.

Big piece of the Chapman trade.

A very nice read from Doug Gray. Seems the roster is set. Lots of head scratching going on.

Throw really well last time out. Apparently has rediscovered a couple of MPH on his fastball to go with a very nice slider.

Roster makes sense to me. I'd have Adelman over Arroyo and maybe Reed in the minors but that's it.

I heard a Reds podcast and they couldn't believe Desmond Jennings didn't make the team and figured it might be bc Winker takes Schebler's job soon. Smh. The whole damn fan base is sleeping on Schebler. He's better than Duvall easily (maybe not in fantasy baseball but in real life).

I can't disagree with you. Both had a good half a season. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. If Winker is over the wrist injury and adds a bit of power to his game he will be a good player.

Had my points draft last night. The CBS experts are all really nice and cool. I'd definitely recommend that podcast/coverage. They were great in the chat.

For my team, CBS gave me an A+. Not bad for my first ever points league. I'm projected to finish 2nd despite having the 3rd hardest draft spot.

12 teams. I had #3 pick.

C Gary Sanchez
1B Wil Myers
2B Trea Turner (will move him to SS Week 2)
3B Anthony Rendon
SS Elvis Andrus
OF Mookie Betts
OF Ryan Braun
OF Ben Zobrist (will move him to 2B Week 2)
Util/Bench Joc Pederson, Lorenzo Cain, Adrian Gonzalez, Mike Moustakas
SP Stephen Strasburg
SP Aaron Sanchez
SP Michael Fullmer
SP Marco Estrada
SP Drew Smyly
RP Aroldis Chapman
RP Ken Giles
Bench Jeremy Hellickson, Carter Capps

Pitching looks a little weak but Capps will go on the DL and I will use that spot for 2 start pitchers every week.
