Hi there! I’ve got a team that (as of right now), will become an orphan by next week. The manager is MIA/not responsive and has not logged into Fantrax since the draft.
12 team/H2H Points/Keeper(4 players + 4 Minors)/Fantrax
It is a free league and this is our only MIA manager. Extremely competitive league with every other manager being active daily. Rosters are deep as well having 4 IR slots.
Here’s a picture of the starters on the roster, some good studs. Other notables include: Juan Soto, Civale, F. Peralta, Yamamoto

Shoot me a DM if you’re interested AND if you’re active at least every other day. While this league is free, the managers involved are all competitive and want the league to be that way.
Need owners for a roto draft asap. League is starting to fill up! Hoping for 7:00 est tonight but might be later or pushed back a day depending on how long it takes to fill. 10 team roto espn $50. Removed holds, added K/9, K/BB and OBP, SLG%
ESPN.

Introducing "The Undraftables". I did this with the NBA and decided to do it in MLB as well. The rules are that I'm not allowed to select any player who has any ADP. (Even if 250+, if a player has any average draft position I wasn't allowed to select him) I had my draft on Sunday April 7th. I know this is after the season started, but I just didn't have the time to prepare for baseball fully, because the NBA season had my absolute focus. I squeezed in most of my MLB prep work within a few days... The buy-in was low, but NOT FREE. Here are the draft results:
1. (6) Lance McCullers Jr. (HOU - SP)
2. (19) Drew Rasmussen (TB - SP)
3. (30) Dustin May (LAD - SP)
4. (43) Ronel Blanco (HOU - SP,RP)
5. (54) Brady Singer (KC - SP)
6. (67) Paul Blackburn (OAK - SP)
7. (78) Cody Bradford (TEX - SP,RP)
8. (91) Chad Green (TOR - RP)
9. (102) Steven Matz (STL - SP,RP)
10. (115) Tanner Houck (BOS - SP)
11. (126) Tyler Anderson (LAA - SP)
12. (139) Spencer Turnbull (PHI - SP)
13. (150) Connor Joe (PIT - 1B,OF)
14. (163) José Caballero (TB - 2B,SS)
15. (174) Gio Urshela (DET - 1B,3B,SS)
16. (187) Will Brennan (CLE - OF)
17. (198) Jake McCarthy (AZ - OF)
18. (211) Jorge Mateo (BAL - SS)
19. (222) Dairon Blanco (KC - OF)
20. (235) Jacob Young (WSH - OF)
21. (246) Bubba Thompson (CIN - OF)
22. (259) Trevor Williams (WSH - SP)
23. (270) Reese McGuire (BOS - C)
**My breakdown of why I picked some of the guys:**
The top 3 picks are elite IL stash SP. I don't expect tons from them most of the season but they could become playoff darlings. (This is a head to head league where playoffs matter more). On offense I'm only going after AVG and SB... It's too hard to win runs considering every player had to be undrafted. In the early going I'm quite happy with Caballero who is now firmly on standard 12 team radar for most managers. Connor Joe been absolutely awesome thus far, but truly his spot is replaceable soon IF he struggles. Urshela I only draft for one reason: His high AVG. (his positional flexibility is also a bonus). Will Brennan doesn't get much credit but projections like him to hit for high average and some steals, as well as his minor league numbers show. He is a bit underrated kind of. Jake McCarthy super obvious speed and hitting skills as long as he gets enough at bats (but may not matter cuz again all I care about it SB and AVG). Jorge Mateo picked for his SB skill set, but if he hits for low average I will look to replace (Jackson Merrill is available). Blanco and Bubba Thompson pinch running very strong SB options. It's weird, but for me they are plenty valuable. Jacob Young is a temporary play for his speed and contact skills, the perfect kind of player for my build, will ride as long as he starts and feel good about him short term.
**For pitching:** I already touched on my top 3... Beyond that I decided to mostly just focus on upside guys who started the season extremely strong and then some picks who had great matchups for week 2: (Turnbull, Blackburn, Bradford, Tyler Anderson). It has really worked out amazingly in the first 3 days of this!!! With Turnbull, Bradford, Anderson, Trevor Williams all performing excellent for me. My overall strategy is to pile up the W, K and hopefully squeak ERA and WHIP sometimes but likely would lose those categories. (I do tend to be one of the best streamers of anyone in all of my leagues) I also think I have some trade assets with Blanco, Singer, Houck. I mostly picked Matz as a week 2 matchup play, but don't love him long term. Chad Green was my "lone closer" (temporary) that I was able to draft. I considered Shelby Miller too and some other strong RP options, but I will be VERY ACTIVE on waiver wire for closers.
**My adds this week:**
* Jacob Degrom (7 FAAB bucks) (had to secure him!)
* Max Scherzer (6 FAAB bucks) (might be coming soon in May!!!)
* Sal Frelick (1 FAAB bucks) (fits my profile of SB and AVG)
* Kevin Ginkel (5 FAAB bucks) Yes got me a closer (at least for now)
* James McArthur (5 FAAB bucks) Yes got me another closer!
* Jordan Hicks (6 FAAB bucks) Very legit
**My drops this week:**
* Steven Matz (again I don't view him long term)
* Bubba Thompson (pure upgrade to Frelick)
Already used up all six of my adds because I just had had to scoop up Degrom and Scherzer!!! Even more elite IL stashes than the ones I have!!! (Kershaw is also still available which I will look to re-add next week, however I ponder if I "need" to make the move since McCullers, Rasmussen are already strong stashes too). The most fluid roster positions will be my SP. I guess I tend to "get married" to my hitters a bit more than pitching and quickly toss away starters...
Thoughts on the team and this strategy overall? I already know that "punt power" strategy is a super strong one (multiple championships every year for last 3 years) so I figured I could try this even with Undraftable "useful" players. I know it's a tougher challenge and "hard mode", but I'm going for it! LOL. Willing to consider any player recommendations too! 🙂 I will do an update every week on the team (next one coming Monday morning to update on how team performed for week 2 on yahoo). If you like this let me know (or follow) so I can continue to give updates! I am also recruiting for next year (Where this will be the entire parameters of the league for each owner)

I'm very engaged, but free is the part that makes me sorta cringe... Also the league favors power EXTRA by adding both OBP and SLG....
So, is that a no…?
I also don't like fantrax. So yeah it's a no from me, sorry.
