So I have a draft tonight with the 8th (out of 12) pick. I am leaning toward going hitter/hitter round 1 and 2 and a SP in round 3. The top pitchers that have been there are the following:
Bumguardner
Carrasco
Stasburg
Verlander
I currently have them as
Strasburg
Bumgardner
Carrasco
Verlander
But I want to know what you think?
also which combo do you like best for round 1-2?
Harper
Freeman/Correa (pick one)
or
Goldschmidt
Correa
Bumgarner
Strasburg
Verlander
Carrasco
Bumgarner
Carassco
Verlander
I feel the stock on Strasburg is pointing up and he had a great year last year. I’m also very high on Carassco, if he stays healthy for a full year, I think he’s a top 5 SP. Can’t go wrong with any of these guys though.
I would lean Harper, Correa. Harpers injury history worries me a bit but it is a contract year and when healthy he’s a top 2 fantasy player. Goldschmidt is more of a sure bet, I’ve had him on many teams and he’s as consistent as it gets and hits all the categories.

After re-reading your post though, I don’t think Harper will still be there by pick 8 so that will probably take that decision off your hands.
He is an amazing talent, but can't believe there won't be some sort of drop in HR's.
What do you think?
Curious for those in a keeper league - who would your top ten keepers be? Turner in particular seems to be valued pretty differently across the fantasy landscape. Mine would be:
Trout
Harper
Bryant
Correa
Altuve
Turner
Arenado
Lindor
Judge
Seager
I wanted to get Stanton and Betts on there but couldn't find room for them.
Carrasco
Bumgarner
Strasburg
Verlander
I think Carrasco is a dark horse for the CY Young this year. Maybe not a dark horse, but he has gotten better every year and has elite stuff. Bumgarner coming off the accident year. Verlander is tough to bank on. Carrasco is undervalued IMO.
