DateQuestionAnswer
2017-03-09 20:00:00 (link to chat)What are your thoughts on Ramon Laureano, OF, Houston and RP Jonathan Holder of NYY?
(JAS from MN)		For Scoresheet, we're targeting Laureano in a number of our drafts. We've discovered in the past that players like Laureano (international players who weren't bonus babies) tend to be undervalued by Scoresheet owners, and I think he's close enough to be a good buy opportunity. Holder, like a lot of "star" relief prospects, is off our board. He has options, which hurts him in 2017, and he's not protectable, so talent aside, he slides well down a list.
