It's back - the 2016 All Free Agent League thread

[joncarlos]

What if you could win a league without any drafted players? The goal of this challenge is to give it a try. Join a public Yahoo league. Draft a bunch of schlubs. Cut them. Pick up free agents. Make trades if you can. Build a team that can win it all.

Here's the thread from last year: http://forum.rotojunkiefix.com/showt...ght=free+agent

My first 2 picks this year were Clint Barmes and Dustin Ackley.

doing it tonight - remember you need to draft unusable players - set it up that way work from the bottom - dont accidentally draft a servicable player - nobody less than 900 in the rankings

it is pretty fun and many teams never even figure out what you are trying to do.

I pre-selected a guy named Dansby Swanson - that is an awesome name - or even a great name for a band

Not sure if you were kidding or if you actually didn't realize Swanson was the 1st overall pick in the draft last year?
Not likely to be active in 2016, but certainly not a random guy...
