DateQuestionAnswer
2020-03-27 13:00:00 (link to chat)Do you play in any open universe leagues? If so, do you have any preference between rostering 2020, 2021, even 2022 FYPD guys (think top 15-20 overall MLB Draft picks) or international guys, like Seiyo Suzuki?
(Steve from TN)
Yes. I am a co-owner with Tom Trudeau in Devil's Rejects, an industry open universe league. I tend to prefer high upside options among amateur and international players. I actually advocated for us to draft Seiya Suzuki, an OF in NPB, who I think will be posted this offseason. In my experience, international players in the NPB or KBO tend to fall in drafts or be under-rostered due to the uncertainties surrounding when or whenever they will be posted (we drafted Kodai Senga late as well). Among draftees, I am open to any class as long as the tools project well, but the further out you get, the greater the risk is. (Jesse Roche)
2020-03-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)Who are your top 10 prospects for 2021 first year player drafts? So basically, the guys that will be taken in this year's MLB draft. Craig told me to ask you.
