It’s that time of year where the veteran writers talk about their teams and hopefully you listen because draft strategy is 70% of the battle. Like player analysis is nice and all but it doesn’t matter if you think this is the year of Ozzie Albies if you don’t manage to draft him. 

“But I posted all over social media and told my friends that Ozzie was due for a 40/40 season all while solving world hunger and one-upping Kendrick in the Drake dis-track game,” you say with 8 teams and that have zero Ozzie Albies and 14 instances of various Luis Garcia-ses. 

Sit down, relax, and learn from Uncle EWB about how to best navigate your way through the draft room and get your guys. 

When I first came to Truss with the idea for an all-in-one, lightning round between myself and my ego and my id and my super-intelligent idea-go (I think that’s what it’s called), he was super-psyched. At least, that’s what I assume the [thumbs up] emoji means. Then he asked if I knew enough to make it longer than one paragraph. Very funny, Mr. Truss. Say that three times fast now and then tell me who has the better user name. ENYWHEY. 

It’s fantasy baseball draft season. My home dynasty auction league with Jakkers finished on Saturday morning (I got Roki Sasaki for $40), a bunch of LABR and Tout Drafts finished last week (you should see Truss’ team, it’s delightful), and TGFBI and RazzSlam start this next week. A bunch of y’all are probably in the midst of drafting or about to do some crazy March Madness pick ’em to determine draft order (like Coolwhip’s home league, “SuperNuts”, which I just joined). In the moment of the draft, it can be hard to Google the hell out something real quick in 90 seconds before your draft timer is up. “Oh shizz, I forgot about Dre” you say as you write a joke millenials will maybe understand, only to realize via Razzball player universe search that there are no MLB players named Dre this year. Good one, EWB. ENYWHEY part deux.
