Discussions:

Alternate Categories: this league uses OBP instead of batting average, innings pitched instead of wins and saves+holds instead of saves. Do we love all the categories, some of them or do you just adapt to the draft in front of you?

How does a livestreamed/public draft impact decision-making and is it preferable to drafting online in a more private setting?

ADP is a useful tool but in an alternate categories draft players like Willson Contreras, Nick Pivetta and Seiya Suzuki went earlier than anticipated. How much should ADP inform your draft

Starting pitchers flew off the board with the league changing from 12-teams to 15-teams is it better to go with safe bets like Martín Pérez or upside plays like Edward Cabrera late?

Reliever strategy: how late can you wait in a saves+holds league?

Sara took Spencer Strider at number two overall, is that brilliant or mad?

Decision points: Sara was picking second and Chris was picking third which led to the following back-to-back picks: Francisco Lindor v. Corey Seager, Justin Steele v. Max Fried & Josh Jung v. Noelvi Marte. We break it all down.
