  • Auction yesterday..Hit me with your best thoughts!

    14 team mixed..5x5...$300 budget..up to 9 keepers

    29th year for the league which includes RJ members Madducks and Mag7 .

    My team with my keepers in Bold.

    C - Dan Jansen $2 The top tier catchers were kept, so I really didn't focus on spending money for a catcher. He's as good any of the rest.
    1B - Luke Voit $12 Hope last year and ST are legit and he continues to rake
    2B - Odor $19 I am very pleased to get him to add to my power numbers
    3B - Mikael Franco $9 I waited on 3B and he is what i got. Meh
    SS - Andrelton Simmons $1 Won't hurt in any category
    OF - JD Martinez $51
    OF - Stanton $50
    OF - Piscotty $2
    OF - Renfroe $1

    UTIL - Billy Hamilton $9 I needed speed and got it. Am i missing something about him as he only went for $9? I know he stinks at the plate, but won't he run wild in KC If he gets on base that is!
    UTIL - Amed Rosario $11 Should help with the speed at what I think was a very good price
    Bench - Domingo Santana $9 Plenty of upside from him
    Bench - Franchy Cordero $1 I called him out expecting someone to bid $2. No one did. Has the tools, but will he play enough?
    Bench - Jarrod Dyson $4 I didn't know that AZ had signed Adam Jones relegating him to 4th OF. Maybe he gets 20 SB to help out??

    SP - Degrom $56
    SP - Stripling $1
    SP - Lucchesi $1

    SP - Rich Hill $8 I had no idea that he was hurt (knee) Just give me 125 or so IP.
    SP - Matt Strahm $12 Didn't really want to pay this much, but one other owner wanted him too. Very late in the draft and I had the cash to go this much
    P - Woodruff - $3
    P - Wily Peralta $1 Will he close? I took a flyer with my last pick
    RP - Hand $6
    RP David Robertson $20 I sure hope he is closing for Philly!
    Bench - Wacha $11 Overpay but it was late in the auction and not many decent SP left

    I really like Franchy at a buck and Woodruff at $3.

      The Good: Besides the obvious with JD, Stanton, & deGrom, i think Rosario, Santana, Lucchesi, Woodruff, & Wacha will all improve this year.

      The Bad: Hamilton & Dyson will hurt you in 3 of 5 categories. So, for your sake they better run wild.

      The ugly: Peralta is a ticking time bomb.

      Overall, the team looks kind of middle of the pack to me with batting average being a weakness.

        It's all luck.

          Thanks! On its own my team might not look like a title contender. But when I look at the other 13 teams I don't see more than 2 or 3 that are better overall.

              No. It's that luck is a bigger factor than most want to admit.

                        it's a mixed league with only one catching slot - I can't handle that

                          The judge is mental.

                            The problem with Billy is he can't steal 1st base. And as already stated, he'll end up hurting you more than helping.
                            I like Franchy, especially for a buck. They say if a player is good enough, they'll find a way to play them. I'm a Franchy believer.
