Fantasy Baseball Draft Report Card: "Twin Towers"

Photo Credit: Philadelphia Inquirer


Team: Twin Towers

Manager: Billy

Infield: As I mentioned to Billy on the side, I liked the Wander Franco and Kyle Schwarber selections. Ryan McMahon has potential to continue improving and he plays at Coors. Votto and Donaldson are the veterans who could really swing the production of this team in either direction. They both seem to have something left in the tank; will they deliver or fade closer to retirement? Fernando Tatis Jr. waits in the wings, hoping to return from injury faster than anticipated. 

Infield Grade: A

Outfield: You see Trout and Tucker off the bat and think... whoa. Comin' in hot. Then it tapers off from there, as Billy really seemed to be focusing upon infielders. You'll see that his Util depth is also at infield, including Frazier and Urshela toward the bottom. Brantley is a pure hitter, but that doesn't always translate to immense fantasy value (just 8 homers in 469 at bats). 

Outfield Grade: B+

Starting Pitching: You feel good about Bieber-Ray-Montas-Eovaldi-Urquidy, straight from the top. That's rock solid with potential to evolve in a number of different ways. Then, on the back end, you are "hoping" more with guys like Taillon, Hendricks, Plesac and Patino. Good staff. 

Starting Pitching Grade: A

Relief Pitching: Hader and Rogers, a very strong 1-2. Lacks the depth in comparison to Steve's team, for sure. Still, Hader is as safe as they come. Rogers is a Tier 2 guy, not bad. 

Relief Pitching Grade: B+

OVERALL GRADE: A-
