Show Notes

This may be just one person's point of view (the person writing this show description), but this is going to be one of the most fun-filled years to draft pitchers in a long time. From pocket aces, to the increasing price of pitching, to the likelihood that at least 30 starters will be off the board within the first 100 picks of most drafts, the posture a drafter takes at starting pitcher will determine, more than any one input, the overall shape of his or her team.

Vlad Sedler joins DVR and Beller on this episode of The Athletic Fantasy Baseball Podcast to break it all down. They discuss the risk surrounding the increasing price of mid-round pitchers, the early round guys they want to avoid, and late starters to target. They also get into a number of draft-day player vs. player debates, including Trevor Bauer vs. Yu Darvish, Brandon Woodruff vs. Clayton Kershaw, and Blake Snell vs. Tyler Glasnow.
