Episode notes
Build Pitching Depth If You Miss Early Aces
- If you lag on starting pitchers early, prioritize quantity of reliable arms later rather than chasing one elite strikeout ace.
- Hosts emphasized taking multiple mid-tier SPs (Lodolo, Boyd, Merrill Kelly) to stabilize ratios and innings.
Live Clock Creates ADP Distortions And Values
- Draft volatility is high in live NFBC rooms; value often comes from players sliding well past recent ADP.
- They celebrated picks like Connor Griffin and later lamented timing mishaps as live clock pressures forced decisions.
Prefer Boring High Floor Players Late In Drafts
- When the clock forces decisions, favor higher-floor, boring players who fill categories rather than chasing risky upside.
- Hosts repeatedly call for 'boring' picks (Kelly, Boone-type) to stabilize ratios and counting stats late in drafts.
