10 Expert League Picks You Should Steal

Mar 4th, 2026 5:06 AM

Is the Pocket Aces strategy dead, or just out of favor? Jeff Erickson discuss that talking point amongst their other observations from the LABR 15-team Mixed League draft. --- 00:00 MLB 2-3-26 Podcast 00:30 Jurickson Profar suspension. 07:30 Josh Hader might finally throw off a mound next week. 09:30 Quinn Priester may not be ready for OD. 15:30 Edwin Uceta is unlikely to be ready for OD. 17:30 Royce Lewis should be back in a week. 20:00 Mike Clevinger had a good start. Bubba Chandler has 7 walks in 3 innings. 22:45 Fernando Tatis to bat 3rd or 4th. Xander Bogaerts could bat leadoff. 24:00 Fantrax 24:52 BlueWire 25:00 10 takeaways from LABR and other early drafts 25:30 Fred was the only drafter who selected two SPs in the initial four rounds. Is the Pocket Aces strategy dead? 30:30 Why does no one want the batting average specialists? I thought that Jacob Wilson was the biggest value pick in the draft. Luis Arraez in Rd. 18 is so late too. 35:30 Why does no one believe in prospects? Has Scott Pianowski’s “avoid the shiny new toy” message finally won?! 38:00 Are we overpaying for poor save sources in a bad closer market? The RPs in Rd. 10-13 are a pretty questionable group, either in terms of skills or role. 42:00 Which Rd. 2 picks were the most surprising to you? I see a few. 45:00 Jeff had a steady stream of yellow at the bottom of your draft. Who were your favorites? And were there any that you instantly regretted? 49:30 Fred regretting Shane Bieber 51:15 Fred decided to use the unlimited IL spots to hoard players, much like MLB teams do. \ 53:00 Jose Caballero - do you see a scenario where he remains in a full-time role when Volpe is ready to return? 55:15 We each drafted two players who will likely have a single-digit homer total. How many of these players can you roster without having a problem? --- Fantrax Fantrax is the home of fantasy sports. Click here to sign up for Fantrax FREE today!
