Draft champions picks rounds 16-26

Just snagged him at pick 340 last night. Don’t love this build but we shall see.

Keeping the dream alive for Bido to be rostered by all 30 teams this offseason.

Thanks, James! I’ll do a little more research after my DC draft but looking forward to diving into one of these.

This is great.

Totally unrelated to King Gizzard- thinking about trying my hand at a Rotowire OC for the first time. Any advice or is there an old podcast to listen to for tips?

Unrelated but big fan of your last two recommendation corners. I think the Petey album is very good and recommend giving it another listen since you were kinda on the fence. Still warming up to Jackal’s Wedding but I loved Westerman’s first two albums.

NFBC teams listing

I did my first NFBC Draft Champions working on advice you and @rotogut.bsky.social gave in a preseason podcast. Won a league that had some really good players with Yordan as my first pick. Thanks!

Yeah, would probably make more sense in the offseason but comps would be helpful too.

By the way, Josh Naylor just stole his 20th & 21st base of the season which means Naylor and Raleigh have more combined steals than Ohtani and Carroll. Enjoyed your disbelief about Naylor in the pod today.

Next time there’s a light slate of games, do you mind doing a deep dive into wOBA and xwOBA? It’s kind of a blind spot for me, so when you reference someone having a .360 xwOBA, I don’t instinctively know if that’s okay, good or great.
