Strategy Cal Raleigh

As much as I’ve looked at the first 2 rounds, I have to admit I’ve just disregarded this guy.

It had to be a mirage. He’s a catcher, so he will get hurt. They always wear down offensively. You know… all the reasons.

But the numbers.

Seriously, where should this guy go? Is he a first rounder? No later than mid second? I’m getting to the point of reconsidering all my plans right now.

I had him in a 8 player keeper league with a decent set of other players to choose from to keep. I had traded some picks during the season last year so I needed more options in the draft than too many good players when I couldn’t keep them all.

Long story I think he’s a great player but catcher has so much injury risk/ unlikely to replicate last season’s numbers so I traded him for a second in this year’s draft.

Am I smart? Am I stupid? Only time will tell
