A tepid +1

Not much separating some of these guys, and they’re all quite different players, so I could easily change my mind in future rounds

by MjwW on Jan 14, 2026 12:34 AM EST up reply actions  

No

You must vote Norris every round until he is on. That’s a law, I’m pretty sure.

by wobatus on Jan 14, 2026 6:25 AM EST up reply actions  

The law of digging your heels and never admitting you might have it wrong?

Pretty sure I’ve never seen that round these parts…

Matt Szczur

I like Norris and Dominguez here too, potentially, but I’d take Szczur over the rest of field, easily. Best across-the-board tools, great makeup.

by Glorified G on Jan 14, 2026 10:27 AM EST up reply actions   1 recs

my # 50 - 55

Would probably be some combo of:

BIlly Hamilton
Matt Dominguez
Aaron Hicks
Mason Williams
Robbie Grossman
and either Derek Norris or Christian Bethencourt

Catricala i guess, is more of a 120 -125 guy for me overall.

Yeah

I know those guys are likely more valuable than Vinnie C if he is just a DH feasting on 89 mph minor leaguers, but the numbers in aa just blind me.

by wobatus on Jan 14, 2026 6:42 AM EST up reply actions  

My next ten that are not on

Cory Spangenberg
Mason Williams
Mikie Mahtook
James Darnell
Tyler Pastornicky
Vinnie Catricala
Matt Adams
Billy Hamilton
Robbie Grossman
Brandon Nimmo

I think it's time to take a look at Story guys ...

Considered by many the steal of the 2011 draft - should stay at SS and the bat will play.

by Traindogger on Jan 14, 2026 10:40 AM EST up reply actions  

I don't remember him being "the steal of the 2011 draft"

He was picked right around where most people saw him. He was a back end of the top 50 draft prospects for me last year, and that doesn’t get him on this high for me.

Matt Dominguez will face off against Billy Hamilton in a runoff.
