While drafting this NFBC 2022 fantasy baseball team, I’m simultaneously deep into writing my 2022 fantasy baseball rankings, which will be released starting around mid-January. (Our Patreon already has the bulk of them; as I finish each ranking, I put it up on there.) Was a fun experiment to see if not having completed rankings would change my drafting. If I haven’t yet decided on whether or not I want a player, would that let me be more open to drafting someone? I’m not sure. My guess was it might’ve. For unstints, if I didn’t want, say, Cody Bellinger again, would I be a big enough dolt to draft him again since I haven’t finished my rankings? Would I be a large enough idiot to actually draft Cody Bellinger again in 2022 if I hadn’t yet finished my research? Would I have an obvious screw loose, potentially appearing like a person who doesn’t have an actual brain, and draft Cody Bellinger again? Would I be a large-scale imbecile that would draft Cody Bellinger again if I simply hadn’t finished researching? Surely, I would not, right? Because I rostered him in multiple leagues last year, so I don’t need something as silly as my own rankings to know Cody Bellinger sucks giant Great Dane balls, right? RIGHT?! Actually, wrong. I’m just that dumb. Anyway, here’s my NFBC draft recap; it’s a 15-team, two-catcher, draft and hold league that goes 50 rounds and has no waivers:

DID YOU GET ‘YOUR’ GUYS? DO YOU EVEN HAVE GUYS? WITHOUT READING YOUR RANKINGS YET, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO MAKE OF ANY OF THIS.
As I was saying in the opening–
I SKIPPED THAT.
–I don’t know yet who ‘my’ guys are, Mr. Bolden Al Capps. Some guys are obviously more attractive to me already, and I’m not talking about attractive like Giantbonerlo Stanton. I’ve written sleeper posts already for a few — Andrew Vaughn sleeper, Luis Urias sleeper, Brandon Marsh sleeper, and more are coming. Trust.
TRUST!? WHAT ARE YOU, A 15-YEAR-OLD DOUCHEBAG?
Tough, but fair. You know what’s pretty fascinating (to me at least). People follow ADP like it wasn’t formed by a couple dozen people in October who likely had no idea about anything to do with free agents (of which there’s still more guys without contracts), and just a group of people who are winging it like everyone else. Yet — again with some stank — YET, you do something like draft Steven Kwan in the 25th round and people say stuff like, “Wow, you could’ve waited.” According to what? This janky sample size ADP? Okay, but why? Why is anyone following ADP at this point? Drafted right after Kwan was Brady Singer, Hunter Dozier, Connor Joe, Anthony Bender and Wilmer Flores. Apples and oranges a bit with some of those guys, but can you imagine getting to June and being like, “Damn, I wish I had Wilmer Flores?”
Also, it really makes you question ADP, in general. Think about this: In October, a couple dozen people with obvious gambling addictions decided to start drafting fantasy baseball leagues. (Hey, I’m way better for starting in November!) Then people in November and December follow this janky ADP from October and reenforce it. Then we get to February and people are like, “You took Luis Robert in the 1st? You are seriously handsome but just as dumb.” Why? Because some people said so in October, and that’s been getting reenforced ever since? I don’t know, guys and five girl readers. I’m beginning to question ADP, which feels a bit like questioning God, if I’m being honest. Think about this, when you get to May, are you like, “Wow, I can’t believe I was able to get Syndergaard at 167 overall?” Or are you like, “I have Syndergaard on my team, and I don’t remember in the slightest where I drafted him.” Like a teamster, I’m leaning on the latter.
OKAY, THAT WAS THE MOST BORING DIATRIBE ABOUT ADP I’VE EVER READ, BUT YOU DID MENTION STEVEN KWAN, SO…UH…WHO? IS HE RELATED TO HAPPY KWANZAA?
Kinda surprised how little noise there’s been about Steven Kwan. This might be partially my fault. He’s a rookie, and I didn’t write up a fantasy baseball rookie outlook post for him, like I did for so many others. He came to my attention late, only notified by Baseball America’s Geoff. (Homeboy’s gone from Prospect Ralph to Prospector Ralph to Podcaster Ralph to Podcaster Geoff to Baseball America’s Geoff. If he tries to change to Geoffrey, I’m out.) So, I was told essentially that Happy Steven Kwanzaa is a .300 hitter, who the Guardians protected, so there’s no reason he doesn’t get run this year in the outfield. There might be ten hitters total in the majors who you can project credibly as a .300 hitter, and two are less-than-five-homer, some-steals duds like Nico Hoerner and Nick Madrigal, and one is no-power and no-speed, Luis Arraez. Kwan’s developing power, has speed and won’t get you laughed at if you project him for a batting title. So, when people are like, “Damn, you could’ve waited to grab Steven Kwan ten rounds later,” it’s like, “Why?” Seriously, who cares? Because there’s some arbitrary ADP assigned to him? Whatever.
YOU SOUND ALMOST AS MAD AS ME. I LIKE THAT. OKAY, SO GIVE ME SOME TAKEAWAYS, OR, BETTER YET, WHY DID YOU TREAT THIS LIKE A 5X4 LEAGUE AND NOT DRAFT SAVES?
There’s a few big advantages to drafting this early. You grab Ryan Mountcastle at 59th overall and people are like, “Hey, Grey, did you hit your head?” Then I release my rankings and show how high I am on Mountcastle and why, and his price goes up. Or, in a more general sense, a bunch of ‘perts start talking about Steven Kwan; the Guardians announce he’s their two-hole hitter and the starting left fielder and his price is going to zoom up. The big disadvantage? I legit have no idea who’s closing for at least ten teams. Is Ken Giles healthy? Is Kyle Finnegan the Nats’ closer? I was happy about getting Richard Rodriguez at pick 449th overall. He’s a free agent, and I’d be shocked if he’s not working someone’s 8th or 9th by April. In general, I think my NFBC team is going to be competitive. Assuming Cody Bellinger doesn’t take my entire team’s players out the night before Opening Day for some drinks and gets them lost in woods for six months.

What happened to Paddack? Is he a bounce back candidate? If you could get him in a trade for cheap, would you?
Nah, I wouldn’t mess with him, except for very late…He looks pretty broken and might not even be in the rotation
Ok thanks man. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Enjoy
I’ll be here all week, but same to you!
Great write up Grey. Love reading these. I’m definitely interested in joining Jan draft. Robert/Freeman combo /chefskiss
Merry Christmas to your Italian half!
Haha, thanks! Appreciate it! Xmas to you too, if you celebrate and I’ll announce the NFBC sometime early Jan
Kyle lewis or brandon marsh. Dynasty 16 man. Both are $0
Coin flip, but I’d go Lewis in dynasty
Greyt stuff, Grey…
Is there any way that you could include the link to the entire draft board?
Don’t think it’s public, but if someone in the league is reading this and knows different, please link it
https://draft.shgn.com/nfc/plain/dp/40/grid , don’t know if it works… but, that’s the draft board…
Very fine team Hernan! Burrito Boyz will be tough! In retrospect took way too much risk going with 4 SP’s coming off injury, even with optimistic outlooks. Steamer does have deGrom, Verlander, McCullers and Carrasco at 152, 175, 147, and 144 projected IP respectfully. Guess I’m just a sucker for name value. If that wasn’t enough took Laureano (out for 27 games), and B. Witt the ultimate high risk/reward rook. I did try to stock plenty of pitching depth to cover any eventual breakdowns. Podcast hates me, but hope to have balance and like my club. Enjoyed the very tough competition as well, thanks Grey!

No problem! I don’t love your team, tbh, but I could be wrong…I worry you’re missing ABs and IP, the two biggest concerns a team can have in one of these leagues where there’s no waivers…I do like a bunch of your guys individually tho…Bo, Bobby, Ryan, Elieser…I think the deGrom pick derailed you from having a strong hitting core, and you didn’t follow him in your rotation with safe guys
Yep good points all, especially deGrom. Wanted S. Marte there, shoulda went that way…..
Yup, No problem!
Thank you!
Totally agree on the ADP mumbo jumbo. Next year you should set up a lol draft in October to screw up the ADP just to see how much it impacts later drafts.
Nothing toooo outlandish, but things like taking the Marco Gonzales, Nick Solaks, Alec Bohms, and Jesus Aguilars of the world in the top 75.
Exactly, bc then people right after see that and follow it, then people after them follow it, and before long it’s cemented in ADP and people in March are like, “I don’t know if I like Marco Gonzales, but he’s a steal at 150 overall”
Solid team me goo-roo!
In my lone DC so far, I went Kiermeier/Josh Lowe…something tells me about ima rather have your Brujan.
Here are my CIs: Dalbec, Tork, Jung, Miranda, Wisdom, Bellinger…Will I have 1b/3b/CI filled the entire year?
I’m with you on Saves…absolutely despise paying market rates for these over-priced slugs. But what I despise even more is my inability to identify cheap closers than keep the job more than one week. Last year: 10 DCs-no more than one closer on any team though I took 6-8 stabs at guessing the closer. Finished bottom 3 in Saves in each league (having sold myself on Amir Garrett! even before your rankings came out.) brutal
I think Brujan was one of my biggest gambles, so I don’t have any great feeling towards him breaking camp with a starting job…I also took a lot of backups at 2B in case he’s not with the club or playing every day
I love Tork, Jung, Miranda, I think you’re gonna be fine, maybe a little risky
Amir Garrett was so brutal, I had him in a few places…I prefer drafting saves right before the season starts…This time of the year saves are a bigger crapshoot than they need to be and one big drawback to drafting this early, but everyone is at same disadvantage
Agreed on all points. Drafting RPs this early is even more of a crapshoot. As a result, I likely overpaid big time for RPs (save for Sborz) in my recent DC:
C-Garver-14, D Jansen-21 (Jeffers, Dom Nunez)
CI-Dalbec-13, Tork-16, Jung-19, Wisdom-23, (Miranda, LaMonte ‘Sanford’s Son’ Wade)
MI-Albies-2, Adames-10, IKF-11, (E Sosa, JeremyPena, Brendan Donovan)
OF-Acuna-1.11, Judge-3, Bellinger-7, Adell-15, KyleLewis-17 (Leody, V Reyes, JoshLowe, Kiermeier, Pache, D Hill, Piscotty Doesn’t Know!!)
SPs
Ray-4
McClanahan-8
Ed Rod-9
Matz-18
Paddack-22
Elieser-24
Pearson-26
(Ed Cab-29, Roansy, Mitch White, T Hearn, Manning, D Price, Winn, Beede, E Swanson)
RPs
Kenley-5
Gallegos-6
(Bednar-12, Lucas Sims-20, Sborz-44)
Besides your dislike for my pitching;) any other thoughts Fantasy Master Lothario Do Not Abbreviate or There Will Be Hell to Pay??
I said I don’t like your pitching? I don’t mind it at all…Paddack and some of the bench are garbage, but that’s more than fine in a 15 teamer, draft and hold — your pitching looks better than mine due to your RPs
Think actually your hitting might be a concern, you look light on AVG, and speed…Not bad tho
Agreed. Me AVG is hurtin’ and I went too upside-y on both hitting and pitching…U did a better job of drafting ABs/IPs and I like your team’s AVG a lot.
Thanks! We’ll see, ABs feel so nebulous this time of year, but I tried to grab ABs
This draft was a lot of fun, specially drafting right after You, got snipped quite a bunch of times.., drafting close to wheels is very tricky, there’s players you are taking 10, 15, even 20 spots vs ADP’s, specially steals and saves guys….
from 15 , I went , C: W. Smith (5), C: S Murphy(18) 1B; Votto (11) 2B Albies (1, 15) SS, Lindor(3), 3B Devers(2) MI ,McMahon(14) CI, Mancini(13) OF: Haniger(8), Meadows(9), Baddoo(10), Josh Rojas(17), Yaztrezemski(19) UT: Kepler (20)
Bench: Brown(23), Dozier(26), Kemp(30), Slater(34), Ahmed(37) Allen, C (38), A. Barnes, C (39), Chang(40), Engel (41)
Pitchers are , Giolito(4), Musgrove (6), Darvish (7), Scott Barlow, KC (12), A Wood(15), C Javier(16) Whitlock(21), Lauer (22), Heaney (24) Singer(25), Dunning(27) , Robert Suarez, SD (28), Bumgarner (29), Sulser (31), Art Warren (32), Howard (33) Long (36) M Keller(43), Luetge(44, R Stephenson (45)…..
We have a lot of fringe, favorable matchup type SPs, some darts at saves( hopefully Red Sox install Whitlock there), with Suarez( 67 saves last two years in Japan), Sulser, Art Warren…..
We drafted most our hitters with “having regular job”/playing time as base.., also tried to stay young( except Votto), avoid guys coming from injuries…, I think team is light in speed, hopefully guys like Baddoo, Albies, Lindor, Rojas combine for 70/75 and 5 others get about 5 to 7, get the 110 ish goal….., Draft was a lot of Fun!!!!!!, Cheers.., missed David Duffy and his Apocalyptic Angels…..
One specific case where I was going to take Whitlock next when you took him — I was looking at your team in the draft, thought it was one of the better ones…I really like your hitting a lot, the arms are my only concern for you, but I have my own concerns, obviously… Other thoughts, I also wanted Carl’s Jr. Jr., Rojas and I thought Wood, Long and Howard, for their price, were steals…I especially liked your end-game SPs for IP
Yeah, Thanks for the props.., Our pitching has a lot of question marks, We found some meh starters with severe Home/Road splits, will try to exploit that, some concern with Javier’s role, but, to me, he’s a starter, was money the first 2 moths of 2021, when he got like 9 starts, hopefully Astros use him as a starter, if not, maybe he goes over 100 IP with 125Ks and solid ratios, 8/10 Wins due to being on good team with great offense…, I was criticized , lol by some guy that has podcast( was in draft) for taking him and Seth Brown too early…, I think The A’s are a team that will provide the most ” Out of Nowhere ” Fantasy guys( the Adolis Garcia factor)…, specially on offense, specially if they trade Matt Olson.., cheap guys like Brown , who already has a regular job in outfield, could slide to 1B, also DH.., hit 20 homers in like 250 PAs , also sprint speed is in top 70% MLB…, with Marte gone, Laureano suspended , etc.., guys like him and Quad A types like Dalton Kelly (1B/OF that went 27/17 in Rays AAA Durham) and Cody Thomas (18 homers in 59 games before getting hurt at AAA, former College QB( great athlete)) could get a chance and provide some fantasy gold…, you never know….
Criticizing anyone for drafting someone early in a December draft doesn’t make any sense…Criticizing anyone for drafting someone as late as the 23rd round is not understanding things — Brown is super irrelevant to how well your team does…If he hits 25 HRs and .220 then super, but if you’re relying on him too much you have bigger problems anyway — I don’t mind Brown, tbh, but he’s either a flyer that works out or someone you can safely ignore
It was an interesting draft. Like you, I (Team Dopp) took a few players that made me throw up in my mouth a little but thought the price was right. Not a fan of Bregman but pick #94 seemed good. I hate Gary Sanchez but just need him to put up the same numbers as last year to get value at pick #297. He did come in at C12 on the Player Rater last year.
Yeah, don’t mind either of them if the price is fine…I don’t like either of them in a vacuum either…Sanchez seems particularly fine at that price tho
Oh, and good luck to you!
Good luck and happy holidays to you as well.
You too!
Hi Grey
Can you please rank multi position players by where they have the most value.
Thanks as always.
David
I’ll have a post for all multi-position players this Friday
Hey Grey,
Winker @12 for Luis Urias @7?
Current keepers:
Vlad, T Anderson, Machado, Judge, Winker, Renfroe, Alcantara, Rodon, R Suarez, (J Ryan/Lane Thomas)
Which side you taking?
Thanks.
Is that rounds? I’d take Winker
sorry for lack of info. That is 2022 salary.
Ah, still Winker tho
Thanks Grey
No problem
I saw you drafted Dylan Moore. You think he can be resurrected?
that’s around 500th overall, so I don’t think much of him, but one injury on the M’s and he can play anywhere and steal
Love the writeup…I’m surprised you took Adolis in the 10th, as an owner in a keeper league I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with him. It seems like the league figured him out in the 2nd half and his performance fell off pretty dramatically, but looking at some of the underlying metrics it doesn’t really show any reason for the drop off. What’s your take on him? Is he worth keeping at $5?
I like Adolis a lot, he’s worth $5
Holy cow, you really took Bellinger again after last year’s disaster?
I had him on a keeper team and cut him. No thanks. I’m sure he’ll be better than last year. But outside of two super months, his career has been pretty average or worse overall. I guess he’s a good buy low candidate that you might get in some later round. But no thank you.
I learned something when I was a child. When you touch a hot stove, you get burned. You don’t touch it again. Hard Pass.
Great Dane balls. Does anyone have a recipe?
If I had to draft today, after having seen this I realize my game needs sharpening. Adolis,Brujan,Ranger, Giles…..
All guys who had slipped off my radar. Thanks for posting this.
Flash frying
No problem
Grey, I’m in total agreement, ADP especially this early doesn’t mean much. It’s all about team formulation. Last year I was grabbing Hendriks in round 3 and heard from many that it was too early for a closer. Now Hendriks is consistently going in round 2 and any of the “surefire” closers are gone by the end of round 5. Of course, that will probably be unique to these draft and holds, as you explained there is no waiver wire. Also, in these NFBC draft and holds on top of the league prize you can win an overall prize. You may be able to win your league if you punt saves but you kill any shot at winning the overall.
Which brings me to your team, looks well balanced, saves look like your biggest question mark. The pick I’m most surprised about, Noah Syndergard. You have been out on him for quite a while. I’m sure getting him in Rd 12, a steep discount from other years is the reason. The pick you didn’t make that I’m most surprised about, I thought for sure you would have Kelenic on this team. I guess returning to Bellinger was all you could stomach.
Hopefully you guys do another one of these, I’d love to get in and defend my title from last year.
Agree on your points, ADP is so silly…And saves are going to hurt me, I couldn’t pay the price early and it bit me later on…I wrote up Syndergaard when he signed with the Angels, I don’t mind him at all late, and 12th round is pretty late…
I’d like to do another one in January if you’re interested
Definitely interested, keep me in the loop. Thanks!
Will do!
I am a glutton for punishment
I touched the stove again, sadly
Haha!! You may be right.
I could see him smoking all the guys he burned last year by being himself again and blowing up. I just move on from guys once they burn me.
Grey!!!
Awesome!
a. Love the team. A few comments.
1. Is that Logan Allen the LHP or the RHP?
2. I like Steven Kwan in this setup but in my dynasty keep forever startup, he’s not really useful. 0.290/10/10 is not useful for me.
3. Nice stable of pitchers, like the bench a lot.
4. Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ in reference to some of your SP and some of mine (see ‘b’ below).
5. Good luck.
b. Had a practical question. In my 4×4 dynasty 12-team league (pitching cats: WHIP, K/9, SVH, QS), we only have a 1000 IP minimum, no maximum. I was doing the math and here’s what I came up with.
1. If I start 6 high-end relievers (to gun for K/9, SVH and WHIP) all year from 0 to 162, I’ll have 3 slots for SP. That means, 6×70=420 and 1000-420=580 IP and 580 IP/26 weeks=22.3077 IP/week from 3 starters or on average 7.44 IP per start which is impossible.
2. If 5 RP, 4 SP (using the same math above), then 4 SP need to average 25 IP/week or 6.25 IP/week/SP which also seems unlikely.
3. If 4 RP, 5 SP, then 5 SP need to get 5.54 IP/week/SP which also seems high over a 26-week season.
So my questions. This is my pitching in that league (below). Should I keep it as is (given I’m sure a few of them will be injured through the season) or should I trade 2 RP for 1 SP? What would be your strategy to max out on all categories? I’m thinking max on SP earlier (April/May) with a normal Feb/Mar ST which would mean some of the RP would be lost or?
SP-Cease, Gonsolin, Manoah, Houck, Musgrove, Ryan, RSuarez, Kopech, Roansy, CMorris
RP-Hendriks, Doval, CGreen, Iglesias, Kittredge, Whitlock
MiLB-Cole Henry, Landon Knack, Lodolo, Ty Madden, Walston, OWhite, Eury Perez, Logan Allen (LHP)

1. Guardians’ Allen
2. Maybe he can steal more bags and hit for more power, but that does sound like his baseline
3. Thanks!
5. Thanks!
B. Really nice pitching staff, first of all…I wouldn’t trade anyone yet, bc we have no idea yet of their value and I think they’ll become more valuable…I’d be careful early on SP, max out on RPs, blow people away in saves, then trade saves to teams who can’t catch me, but can catch my rivals — that make sense?
C. HAHA
Grey!!
a. We need to start a brief report on players with similar names on every team. To wit,
1. Two Logan Allens are on the Guardians!!? Logan Allen the sucky-ish RHP and the hot prospect LHP (Check The Itch’s recent report on The Guardians).
2. Reiver (The River) Sanmartin and Something something Santillan. One is the reason the Reds let Miley walk and the other is a reliever with a good k/9 but bad BB/9.
b. Makes a lot of sense. If Doval gets to 15-20 saves by the ASB, I’ll trade him to the guy in the comments of the draft who went gaga over my pick of Doval.
Cheers,
Ante
A. The Luis Garcia Report
1. HAHAHAHA, I forgot they were both on the Guardians — I honestly don’t know which I drafted! Haha, let me check — I have the lefty, which is the one I wanted, so, whew, that worked out
2. Yeah, I looked at him yesterday, actually
B. Yup, exactly
Wait, they’re both lefties, I think…I’m so confused who I drafted…Haha
Grey!!!
a. Both LHP!!! One is 24, the sucky-ish one. One is 23, the prospect!!
b. Gaa!
c. Luis Matos, though not on the same team. A guy drafted the wrong Luis Matos MiLB (Phillies) in our supp. draft even after you can see the right Luis Matos (SF) was already gone.
Cheers,
Ante
Haha, I took the sucky-ish one!
C. Oopsie!
Grey!!!
Sorry. Now I’ve reverse jinxed him!
Cheers,
Ante
Haha, I hope so!
Ranger! I like to see that. Was/am wondering what your thoughts will be on him in 2022. This was/is a good sign.
Yeah, I’m gonna like Ranger
