Get advice specific to your team. This can be opinions on trades, free agent or waiver pickups, who to start or even just "rate my team". It is helpful if you provide sufficient details regarding your league format and team composition.

2 of the first 6 picks...

#1 Post by mrmruwitchuwitch »

10 team NL Roto League; 5x5; Draft; 14 hitters/9 pitchers/2 floaters;25 rounds
In Mastersball Top 20: Acuna, Story, Cain, Bellinger protected
35 pitchers protected;35 hitters protected for all team combined
My team: Soto,Albies, Senzel(ML list), Buehler, Aguilar, Rosario,Winker, Stripling

Picks: 2, 6, 39,42,46, 59, 62 then continuing 79,82 etc.. My core is protected in Rounds 13 to 19.

Question:

Assuming Scherzer goes #1..thinking go with double aces by De Grom at #2 allows me to add all other pitching other than closer very late in draft. At #6 pick best superstar. Guessing someone may shoot for Harper or Machado too early leaving a better choice. Pretty sure if someone else goes at#1 must take Scherzer at#2.

Comments on the two ace strategy? Pretty sure waiting until pick 39 leaves me with a 5th tier pitcher at #2 on my staff.

Not a huge fan of two aces, hurts hitting and pitching can still be managed. Your team, you call -- really depends on who you can get as a bat at #2 and arm at #6.
