Episode 304: Tout Mixed Review + SP Strategy + Using Bid Limits
Bit of a mixed bag this week:
We review Mike's Tout Wars Mixed League draft from earlier in the week. (You can see the draft board here: https://www.fantrax.com/fantasy/league/1ojcq64zltc8i9la/draft-results)
We talk (again) about your strategy for drafting starting pitchers, and why Mike generally avoids the "blob" of mid-tier starters.
We also introduce Mike's auction bid limits and discuss how to use them, and how not to use them.
Finally, we talk about the risk of players who have not yet made their MLB debut, focusing in on three names for this draft season: Jackson Chourio, Wyatt Langford, and Jackson Holliday.
