Episode notes
Keep The Young Hitter Over The Young Pitcher
- Prefer Jack Caglianone over Emmett Sheehan when keeping a long-term hitting upside in keeper formats.
- Scott argues Caglianone is safer as a hitter with multi-year keeper value while Sheehan carries pitcher durability and usage risks.
Draft Isaac Paredes As A Bench Flier
- Draft Isaac Paredes at or near his ADP and bench him as a "life finds a way" flier.
- Scott White notes Paredes likely ranks as the Astros' 3rd–4th best hitter and could gain regular ABs due to position flexibility and Jeremy Peña's finger injury.
Keep The Cheap Pitcher Over A Redundant Catcher
- In NL-only auctions, prefer keeping Cade Horton (cheap SP upside) over Francisco Álvarez if you already have a catcher.
- Scott leans Horton for $2 because he provides rotation upside while Álvarez duplicates position depth with Agustín Ramírez.
