I saw a couple but gave up after seeing so many terrible players haha.

[ImBrotherCain]

I mean I drafted Snell and he won the Cy Young.

[Zak]

Yeah some really good players but it's a deep league so it's expected to be tougher drafting.

[Xiomera]

I drafted Snell a year too early. I had him the year prior.

Eugenio Suarez was a great third-round pick for me. But there's no one else that was good. Snell and Suarez and that's it.

I picked Vlad and Andujar is back to back rounds.

[ImBrotherCain]

Corbin, Clevinger and Haniger all worked well for me too, but I won the league so there is that.

Never heard of them.

[D-Unit]

I probably had the worst draft of all time and still finished 3rd. Ya'll Fools.

That's why you're picking first.
