There’s ALWAYS saves available in free agency. Closers lose their jobs weekly it seems.

I see you completely punted on saves. I don’t know if your hitting is good enough to make up for that god-awful rotation.

That pitching is just horrible. I mean when you have Ian Snell as your ace, you could have big problems. I think Neshek, Jimenez and Bell are great late round picks but you need a lot of things to go your way before you can even compete in the pitching categories

And Mike conveniently leaves out exactly who won the league two years ago.

No problem, Mike. Thanks for participating.

Andrew, don’t worry about it. Auto picks tend to go by quickly, anyway. Was sorry you missed it.

Getting Sheffield in the 4th and Markakis in the 5th makes up for the huge reach of taking Dunn with the 1st pick of the 3rd round, I guess. Dunn definitely hits a ton of HRs, but that .260 BA has negative value in roto ball, and Swisher compounds that problem.

You might just as well punt BA early, because a slow month with those two guys and you’re going to be in a hole in that category anyway.

Hermida in the 11th is a great pick, though, in my opinion. If he can build on his August/September from last year, he’ll be the stud he was supposed to be two years ago.

Assuming this is a standard 5×5, you are going to have to hope Wood is named the closer, Nathan is traded, and that you can acquire another good SP. Or two. And you may need to keep a close eye on your BA.

I follow much of the same strategy that you do, picking up offense early and getting SPs and closers late. I play in 12 team leagues, which are not as deep as your league, but your pitching looks like it’s going to need help.

Totally missed the draft last night. I went to Harvard to watch my Quinnipiac Bobcats lose in the hockey playoffs.

I hope me not being there didn’t hold up the draft too much. I hate being that guy.
