NFT: Fantasy baseball - late first round options

Dave in PA : 3/24/2017 10:07 pm

I am picking 9th in a 12 team roto stand scoring league. Obviously nobody knows how it will shake out, but my assumption is that I will have Harper, Donaldson and Rizzo as options that are all worthy of that value. Harper is obviously the biggest upside play, but also the lowest floor player. I just have no idea what to expect from him. Rizzo is very reliable and produced 3 straight strong seasons. Donaldson is where I'm leaning in this scenario, just not sure what the loss of EE in that lineup will do to him.

I am a big Donaldson fan but I think he takes a step back.

I just had a draft tonight and drafted Harper 8th overall even after getting burned by him lat year. Rizzo strikes out too much for a categories league for me. I got Trea Turner in the second and Cabrera in the third. I love the way that turned out for me. I haven't paid attention to anything baseball related this year so I feel my team overall is just okay but we will see.

Miguel Cabrera in the 3rd?

If he wants to break 300 mil he needs to ball out. 300 avg 30-35 hrs 100 runs and 100 rbi's

Go with Harper or Rizzo.

I'd pick Harper but I tend to be an upside kind of fantasy player. Picking Rizzo will ensure you don't blow your draft.

I just found out I got pick 8 in 12 team league

I am praying g that Machado falls but. Bet the guy at 7 takes him. So will be stuck with either Goldsmidt or Harper.
