50% of rolls come off hitter, 36% pitcher, 14% fielder. Who would you take with first pick in 2019 draft. Christian yelish or Justin Verlander

A few variables to consider...what’s your home park, salary cap, strategy, etc... Generally though, with the number one I’d prefer an injury proof stud hitter, who’s got a great glove. Whether or not that’s Yelich depends on those variables though (eg., I personally wouldn’t sink that much money into one player if it’s only an $80 M league)

120m cap, can pick your own stadium (haven’t yet). Played board game many years, this is second season of 365. First season, pitching g failed me. Looking for out hi g and no defensive players worse than a two

Only risk is potential 15 game injuries, but I probably wouldn’t be able to resist in your shoes. I love Ketel Marte in this set, offense plus a 2 at 2b

In a 120 million dollar league the pitching will fail every time.

No defensive players worse than a 2?... I wish I was in this league, but it wouldn't be fair..
If I had known this was a live draft I would have joined weeks ago.
120 million dollar cap and auto draft don't mix

We did back to 80’s, no cap to learn. Pitchers gave up many HR, ERAs high. But better pitchers had more wins and lower era
Again, Verlander or yelish

Neither, with 1st pick in the draft, I'm choosing Bellinger. 3 game max injury as opposed to a possible 15 game for Yelich, add to that position flexibility and its a no brainer. If you lean towards a SP, I prefer deGrom to Verlander, if for nothing else, the HR factor.
