Thousands of teams signed up on Fantrax last year to play a wide variety of draft leagues, with even more expected to play this season. Leagues are filling up every day, and countless fantasy players will spend the next two months analyzing Average Draft Position (ADP) trends and hoping against hoping that they get the chance to own Mike Trout or Jose Altuve.

The Orioles have signed Alex Cobb to a four-year deal, with a provision that he will start the 2018 season in the minors to get stretched out. Cobb was one of the last major free agents to sign. Greg Holland is the last major holdout.The 30-year-old righty threw productively last season, posting a 3.66 ERA in 179 innings of work. Most of his value came from not walking anyone (2.2 BB/9).

You’re hanging out with some friends, probably enjoying a beer or two, and you get into a long discussion over which player is better than another one. Sometimes it might get heated, but that’s okay. We aren’t all going to agree on every single player. That would make fantasy leagues incredibly boring.The same can be said here at Fantrax. We have a great group of writers and podcasters (that might not be…

Here is the recap of the second half of my recent TRAX Best Score draft, along with my thoughts on each pick. To read Part 1 of my recap, click here.Sign up for a TRAX Best Score league here! Round 21, Pick 242 – My pick: Felix Hernandez, SP Felix Hernandez is no longer King, but there are worse best ball gambles. Hernandez’s productivity has greatly declined from his other-worldly 2014, but he’s still just 31 years old. Granted, he’s an “old” 31, but if he can cut down the gopher balls (his FB/HR rate in 2017 was…
