Ep 41: Dave McDonald - Less Than Risky

Dave (@RunDMcD) shares what he's learned through years of experience, about how to assess players' risks in fantasy baseball. 1:45 Verlander, going into 2020 6:00 How to think about taking a guy off your board completely 9:35 Sale, Syndergaard, and Severino (don't draft guys who won't be playing) 11:45 Taillon (it can take a while to get back your skills) 18:10 deGrom (we can disagree on how much risk there is, but don't ignore it as a part of the assessment) 27:40 Scherzer (we all see the risks, but we don't seem to know how to price them in) 31:40 Strasburg (fear of the unknown plus the price...plus the fact that he's had injury issues all through the years) 34:10 Lamet (he's injured now...plus, PRP means TJ a lot of the time) 37:20 Carrasco (the risk/reward is a value at the price) 40:30 Musgrove (going late enough to take a risk) 43:35 Canning (after pick 300, go for upside) 46:25 Stanton vs Buxton (price matters, many paths to value, UT downgrade, career IL days, paying for a career year, volume of injuries vs the type of injury -- both matter) He's @RunDMcD, I'm @commonsensefbb -- find us on Twitter!
