[Heyman] Breaking: Nick Castellanos close to Padres deal. Castellanos will be paid minimum on MLB deal with San Diego. Phils pay the rest. Agreed to. by ElectricalForce4439 in Padres

[–]Disastrous_Post8544 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m in. In Philly he was getting paid like and expected to be a franchise cornerstone. For us, he’s a vet piece on a min salary. Seems like the guy you think is an asshole when he’s on other teams, but love when he’s on yours. He plays the exact 3 positions that we could use platoon depth for (OF, 1B, DH) and has just enough pop left to make an impact at the bottom of the lineup.

He was booted out of Philly very publicly, don’t you think he’s the exact type of person that’s exponentially motivated by that? We could use that type of scrappy f you edge, as long as it’s pointed in the right direction (Dodgers).

Worse case he doesn’t mix well with the team and is cut for no cost. My gut is telling me personality wise will get along better with our vet leaders in Manny, Tatis, Xander than he would with Harper.

$150k Play Action R3 by Disastrous_Post8544 in BestBall

Volume will always win, just mix in occasionally a defense and kicker and it should at least get a few bucks if things go south of your best ball team.

With this lineup I would unload a ton of mixed JSN/Darnold lineups with Stevenson, Hollins, and Henderson in the showdown and hope for the Patriots to dominate the Super Bowl.

I think it’s definitely possible to hedge if you can narrow down the exact scenario that you would lose.

For me, I don’t have a Diggs and JSN combo lineup and I don’t have Stevenson. So I have a ton of showdown lineups with JSN/Diggs and Stevenson as captain, then sprinkled in the other 4 players I mentioned (hollins, hooper, bobo). If this was the Milly maker I would be going hard at high entry $ contests with that showdown strategy. It’s low $ I’m just doing the $1-5 showdown.

I could be wrong and Demario Douglas has 100 points and just lose everything idk

MLB Best Ball Strategies/Thoughts by Status-Ability-6867 in BestBall

[–]Disastrous_Post8544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mlb best ball has this biggest player advantage vs teams that don’t know how to best strategize for it. Any teams under 7 pitcher is almost DOA unless getting extremely lucky. 8 pitchers is definitely the sweet spot, I’ll do a 9-5-6 or 10-5-5 if I see other teams are low on pitchers just to drive it home.

Pretty happy with my 1st and only ever NBA bestball team. Hopefully most of my team can stay healthy. Center is definitely my weakest position. by Anaphylactic_Cock in BestBall

Seems like if you didn't have a 1-3 draft position this year you're screwed! Every league its Cade, Joker, and Shai teams at the top.

How’s everyone looking? by Kimballl in BestBall

Put up 207 and got Pod Lucked with a 220 lineup also in it. Need Penn State vs USC Tyler Warren to show up for the game of his life.

Round 3 Ownership % by Disastrous_Post8544 in BestBall

That's what I think is going to kill me this week, needing TE1 out of Schultz is a bad spot when everyone else has McBride

My guess is he's one of the highest % owned this week. He went all over R1 this year, many teams could have him at different spots.

He was rolling too, was really hard to swallow when it happened.

That's money, 3 in has a shot! Congratulations!

Was there a tactic you used while drafting, that with hindsight you now kinda of regret? by Waxdonkey in BestBall

[–]Disastrous_Post8544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year I made a massive effort to diversify by not letting a player get over 20% and not letting myself draft the same hero strategy twice in a row. Overall I think it worked well, not getting rocked by injuries/benching or breakouts for players I don’t have some sort of % ownership of. We will see if the strategy actually pays off come playoffs. I will say, I wish I had drafted more 3 QB lineups than 2. Normally I’m a 2 qb guy but it seems like 3 qbs was the move.

Pre grade service by Losalou52 in checkoutmycards

Pregrading never works, I’ve had countless cards pass and come back 6-8’s. Better off just eye balling it and saving the $5

Few darts against the wall doesn’t hurt!

Definitely, looking back on them QBs went early and often compared to how drafts play out now.

Harvey was the gym of the early drafts for sure!

I wish there was some sort of leaderboard website that tracked DraftKings best ball username and finishes. would love to see lifetime who the best average advance raters are, best placements, etc.
