K ꓘ 183 - Listener League Draft Recap - Part I

Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad Young (@chadyoung) just finished up a keeper league draft with 10 listeners and take some time to go through interesting picks and keeps.4:13 - Chad and Pete pick 1-2 and the first tough calls of the draft came because Pete was "stuck" with a util-only bat at 1.1.10:44 - Right off the start, you get guys being taken over ADP - even in the first round. But because of keepers, team structure and more, it's less a reach and more a pick that makes sense.20:01 - Did Matt Heckman jump too early on Wyatt Langford? And how do we feel about a second round keeper price on Cal Raleigh?23:10 break 123:11 - Third and fourth round keepers are high priced but generally make sense once you have context.27:34 - George Springer is a great example of old guy value and he comes with real upside even at a high cost.30:04 - We move into the fifth and sixth rounds, and Chad jumps into a mini-closer run, because he was committed to chasing saves because he kept a first closer.37:40 - Eugenio Suárez is a solid pick with real upside and a deflated ADP because we don't know where he will land.39:28 - Moving into the seventh round, we start to see teams reach for big upside and long-term keepers for the first time - and it might be happening earlier this year than last.52:11 break 252:12 - Onto the ninth and tenth rounds where the draft swung back to old boring guys, but there are still a few names - even among the old guys! - with keeper upside.59:05 - We move into the 11th and 12th rounds, and we're all reaching now, plus maybe we over-drafted closers early? Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | [email protected] | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
