    Opinons on a fantasy baseball draft.

    I have the number 1 pick this year. I want to trade down and maybe improve my position for a later round. Do you think I could get Giancarlo Stanton with the 6th pick overall? I don't want drop down too much and lose him.

    I've seen him around 5 to 8 on the rankings. So it's a toss up to trade down to six. I hope you are getting a GOOD upgrade for trading down. I'd much rather have Trout than Stanton. Maybe it's because every time I draft Stanton, he gets hurt.

    Draft Trout and hope some players that other guys picked get hurt.

    Looks like the obvious thing to do is take Trout. He's just been so solid, hard to bet against.

    If I kept the pick, I was going to take Harper. I think he goes off this year.

    Would be fun to have Harper, contract year?

    Harper isn't a free agent til after the 2018 season. I'd shop the pick to see if someone blows you away with an offer.

    I never realize what a crappy batting average he has in his career.

    People are waiting for me to make offers for their number 1. I have someone looking to trade up from the fourth position.
