This is a recap of days 1 and 2 of my TGFBI draft experience where I diverted from plan A and now have dug a deep hole. We’ve emphasized roster construction with values and NOT ADP throughout the winter as a means to avoid the mistakes Ive made in the first two days of this competition and I couldnt be more disappointed with myself. This episode is not packed full of analytics but a representation of how things can wrong rather quickly.

Having endured 48 hours of bubble guts and stuck in my house,  I was able to deep dive and begin player profiles with Fantrax ADP. 350- Pablo Lopez- Can he take the next step? The first half season of 2019 says he could. 348- Jordan Yamamoto- His curveball...friend or foe? 336- Josh Rojas- 15/20 potential and completely FREE at current ADP.  ***Stat corrections to make things right for you, the listener.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tambo/message

#2EarlyMocks Review We got a lil ornery on a Saturday night after a couple of beers and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it! Eduardo Escobar is a bust at that ADP Cavan Biggio > Gleyber Torres per @openbarben Touched on the top 20 SP's and a couple of obvious values  A new segment called SELL IT where we sound off with deep dives into the metrics of a player that needs some noise.  We went long on this one to give you the listener the insight you need to NOT make the same mistakes as the "experts" did in this October mock draft.  Follow us on twitter @OpenBarDudes and @openbarben  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tambo/message
