It’s been a long off-season. We’ve done projects and rankings and team posts and strategy sessions and you’ve stuck around for the whole thing. As a team, we are ever grateful of your patronage. The regular season starts Sunday night, and since a larger percentage of drafts are over, it’s time to have a little fun.

Fun stuff. Haven't seen Tulo being drafted too high though, what's his ADP?
bretsayre

His current ADP is exactly 15, so right at the end of the round.

Soler still a rookie?
bretsayre

Yep, just 55 at bats last season.

I'm buying on Pecota's Souza bullishness - top fantasy rookie. Surprised he didn't make anyone's list.

interesting how many people think Nathan will lose his job first, but don't have soria as the non-current closer with the most saves

easy to imagine detroit floundering, and any closer who blows a save getting benched for one of the other guys. also even easier to imagine soria getting injured.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think even if Soria gets the job relatively soon there's a decent chance he either underperforms or gets hurt.

Does Sayre get a mulligan on that Hill pick, now that he's starting the season on the bench?

Now how about polling your crack fantasy subscribers on the same questions and doing an article on the consensus picks.

Is Jaoquin Benoit the first closer to lose his job? Does a very late pre-season trade count? How do we score this?
