Each week, I will be looking at the most popular FAAB pick-ups in the NFBC Main Event to see who the best players in the world are picking up and whether we should get them for our own leagues.
Week 2 High-Stakes FAAB League (2024 Fantasy Baseball)
Hancock was picked up in 35 leagues with a max bid of $69 and a minimum bid of $10. He is the fill in for Bryan Woo while Woo is on the IL. Hancock is not a particularly interesting pitcher from a fantasy perspective because of the lack of strikeouts, but he pitches in a good park for a good team and he has a two-start week against the Guardians and the Brewers which are not teams you are very afraid of.

Martin was picked up in 33 leagues with a max bid $67 and a min bid $1. Martin is the set up guy in Boston and has been picked up in case Kenley Jansen‘s back issues send him to the IL.
Freeman was picked up in 39 leagues with a max bid of $62 with a min bid of $1. Freeman played a lot this weekend including in centerfield while already being eligible at 3B. Freeman has a decent hit tool and a bit of speed, but is more than likely nothing more than a short side platoon player.
Ginkel was picked up in 22 leagues (he was already rostered in 62% of leagues) with a max bid of $457 and a min bid of $121. With Paul Sewald on the IL with an oblique injury, Ginkel is the likely candidate to close games for the Diamondbacks. Sewald is expected to miss 1-2 months which means Ginkel has a lot of value for the time being.
