Apart from the obvious picks (like Yordan in the 2nd round or Misiorowski in the 9th), who are the middle or late-round picks that turned into solid everyday starters?

Also who are some bullets that you thought about drafting but ended up dodging?

EDIT: Talking more good draft calls that you held on to and what round you got them. Obviously have been a lot of good waiver pickups.

We’ve reached the point where most of the high draft picks have at least shown flashes of why they went high, so who’s been dropped by impatient managers in your league at this point?

CBS’ Scott White on some players it might be time to move on from now.

Misiorowski has absolutely looked every bit the #1 overall pitcher in fantasy baseball … and also you should be looking to sell him in redraft leagues right now. Hear me out.

1. His value will never be higher. After his last start, you’ve possibly got a shot at a lot of Top 25 players on any team that needs pitching.

2. You’ve reaped the benefits already. For a 10th round pick, you got just over two months of the top SP in fantasy. But here’s why you should look to hop off now …

3. He is going to have his innings limited.

This isn’t just injury risk or “his arm is going to fall off” … he’s a young power pitcher and essential to the Brewers future.

Steamer preseason projections had him projected for 140.1 innings. He’s probably able to hit more like 150-160 based on his max load last year.

But right now he’s on pace to pitch 207.1 innings, and that’s just not going to happen.

The Brewers now have three guys in their rotation on the IL, and they have to lean on Miz now to stay in the race in a tough division.

When they have the luxury of a healthy rotation, they’ll be looking to skip Misiorowski and probably limit his pitch counts in some starts.

This is matter of when, not if.

And if the Brewers are looking like they’ll lock up a postseason spot later in the season, they’ll be looking to further limit his regular season innings to have availability in the playoffs.

4. His trade value will go down at the first sign of having his innings limited.

He’s coming off a 7-inning start with 12 Ks and took a no-hitter deep into the game.

The first time he gets pulled after 4 innings with a low pitch count for arm management? Managers are going to realize he’s not always going to get in QS territory.

If you sell at full perceived value right now, you should get a huge return. Do not sell cheap at all.

But you’ve also probably already reaped about 40-45 percent of his value on the year and can put yourself in a great position to improve your team up to and through the playoffs.

Scott White’s take on how the draft might go today for discussion.
