Episode notes
Royals Fence Change Is A Small Power Bump
- Kauffman Stadium fence moves will slightly boost Royals home runs (~+2–4 HR for key hitters) but likely lower batting average; treat it as a small tiebreaker, not a draft-moving event.
- Chris and Frank cite MLB Statcast estimates: ~4 extra HR for Salvador Perez, ~2–3 for Bobby Witt, ~3 for Vinny P.
Calibrate Your FOMO Based On Risk Versus Ceiling
- Use a FOMO scale: low (1–3) for injury-prone or limited-upside players, mid (4–6) for volatile breakout candidates, high (7–10) for near-universally coveted prospects.
- Examples: Chris rates Tyler Glasnow 1, Frank rates Connor Griffin highly as a FOMO pick, and both give Spencer Strider a mid rating due to downside risk versus top-end ceiling.
Choose Hitters Over Closers For Keeper Spots
- In keeper decisions, favour the hitter over an elite closer when you already have multiple top hitters; don't overpay to lock a closer like Edwin Diaz.
- Chris argues closers are one-category specialists and you can often draft effective closers later.
