I did unusually well with Aledmys Diaz and Nate Jones early in the season. Later I got mileage out of Dereck Dietrich (OBA league), Jim Johnson, and shockingly Sean Manaea.

If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

In my AL-only 12-team 5x5 keeper league...
> Ryon Healy $10 FAAB pick-up was huge
> Edwin Diaz $10 FAAB was huge
> Whit Merrifield $6 FAAB helped a bit
> Nick Franklin $1 FAAB helped a bit
In my NL-only 12-team 4x4 keeper league...
> Tyler Thornburg $1 FAAB was huge
> David Phelps $1 FAAB was huge
> Mike Foltynewicz $4 FAAB was a big help
> Kyle Barraclough $1 FAAB helped
> Alex Dickerson $1 FAAB was decent for a freebie
I grabbed RSchimpf for $1 in all my leagues, and ADickerson for $1 in almost all of them. I got JJohnson in a couple of leagues. In NL leagues, Mauricio Cabrera was a cheap pitching gem.
10-team NL: Schimpf, Dickerson, Ottavino
12-team mixed: Schimpf, Dickerson, Oh, Duffy, SDyson, Paxton
18-team mixed: Dae-Ho Lee was good for a while, Oh, Guerra
In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
10-team AL-only - got JA Happ for $2 during the first FAAB period, only other significant contributor was Tyler Naquin
11-team NL-only - Tyler Thornburg for a $0 bid early in the year since I also had Jeffress; also got Miguel Cabrera for $0 but Jim Johnson's extension seemingly ruins any of his keeper value; Schebler was another nice pickup later in the year
Out of the auction I had Allen, Giles, Gregerson. Picked up Gomez early and Dyson later on. Traded Greg/Kazmir for Salazar. Traded Allen+ for Colome+ at the deadline mid-Aug. Dropped Gomez and picked up Romo late in the season.
