Episode notes
Draft Alvarez Despite DH Limits
- Draft Yordan Alvarez aggressively in rounds 3–4 if healthy because his upside significantly outweighs his DH-only status.
- Prioritize his talent over positional constraints and treat durability as the single dependency to unlock league-winning production.
Buy Sal Stewart As A Breakout Corner Bat
- Target Sal Stewart as a breakout corner bat because his elite minor-league contact and exit velocities project to regular playing time in Cincinnati.
- Draft him earlier than his ADP implies if you value slugging with a reasonable batting average floor.
Pay Up For Carter Jensen At Catcher
- Consider Carter Jensen as a high-upside catcher pick since his elite exit velocities and expected stats justify early drafting in prospect and redraft formats.
- Use his potential regular playing time and KC park gains to justify taking him over consensus alternatives.
