These leagues draft 50 players and thats all they get for the year no pickups or drops.

Luis Robert, CHW Who will be surprised if hes the No. Suzuki had some trouble with slower stuff, but nothing fatal and hes hardly unique.

Youre guaranteed to get one of them, and you get the earlier pick coming back. Hes an Eno Sarris favorite, but hes more confident in the slider becoming a swing-and-miss offering than I am, which is why I put him more in the solid-if-unspectacular bucket (Nelson, not Eno) as opposed to a major upside sleeper. Keep tabs on him as a potential in-season pick-up, though. A great spring might change my mind, if it continues into late March, but right now hes a Reserve B, which means I dont get him since hell take money.
