i'd like to stay well away from mcdermott to begin this season, that said with how lean the big money player pool is, and how overpriced a lot of the 160k guys are, i've still got money to upgrade if it comes to it.
211k for a guy who goes at a run a ball until he hits 30-40, then wildly accelerates in the power surge is a huge risk. obv it paid off in a big way last year, but schedule, price and law of averages is against him this time around imo. teams are going to be better in the surge second time around. He is the 10th highest owned player so your not even going to break away from a huge portion of the comp if he does fire.
i found quite a bit of success targeting SR bonus last season, and reckon phillipe with a better draw, lower price, and quicker starts seems a better bet if you wanted a bat/wk SGR premium to kick the season off with.
