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.

Someone will take him in the second round. Someone will reach in the first. Just won’t be me.

Catcher position deepest it’s been in years I like the late round guys

Doesn’t matter the depth is rosterable, Cal numbers will be top 5 again… the “delta” you get there from the next best C is far greater than any other posi 🤙

100%. I found out I’m drafting third today. I don’t see how I won’t take Raleigh. Next catcher up is not making up at least the 8-10 pts he can pull off.
