Acuna or Soto who do people like for the first pick in a fantasy draft?

I unluckily got the first pick.

Tatis is good as well but SS is really deep I can get a SS later.

Soto "should" see more pitches to hit this year than last year.

SS is really deep. OF isn’t as deep when you need 3.

Turner, Story, Bichette, Bogaerts, Lindor, Seager, Torres, Correa.

OF isn’t as deep.

oh i get it, its just with OF, theres always more injuries but yet a bigger pool to find another 260 25 75 guy.

i havnt done my homework yet, and im with you in that i hate the 1st pick, but id take the potential MVP then build from there.

plus, who knows what will happen with the new ball.

tough call for sure

 

[Briancuse]

I would take soto.

I like the option in my snake draft league. You draw cards for picks. If you draw #1 you have the option of any pick # you want. Then #2 gets whatever pick they want, and so on. I drew #1 back in 2018. I figured I'd keep it for the Mike Trout experience. If I get it this year I'm swapping out for pick #4.

This site says Acura. Should probably be considering Betts as well.

Dodgers fans buy a sign not to troll but to thank Red Sox for Mookie Betts trade

A gigantic sign was built, in Dodger Blue, across from Fenway Park. Betts helped L.A. win a World Series and Dodgers fans are showing their gratitude.

John W. Henry doesn’t care what his own fans think.
He has the pulse of fanbase under control. He probably is happy taking the money for the billboard from the Dodgers fan.

Good for that Dodgers fan.

I'm in my mid 40's. When I was a kid (up to about 20) I could absorb anything about baseball and still remember it. Don't ask me that happened the last 5 years -- it comes in one side and exits the other. Anybody else like this when it comes to sports?

For example, I just did a quiz on Sporcle for the top 200 HR seasons of all time. I think I got 182 of them. I took a snip just before time run out so the answers of those I missed did not show here. Unfortunately the bottom 1/3 was cut-off.

Tell me 1984 and 43 homeruns, and I instantly know its Tony Armas. But ask me who hit 45+ home runs in 2019, and I blank for many. Most of my misses were from the last 5 years.
