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.

Gausman did have a better xFIP and one more K/9 than Fulmer last season, so that's not nothing.
Moncada for $14 is nuts, and I was about to say that I liked that team anyway but they have a decent shot at getting 500 total innings and zero saves from their pitching staff.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway.

Fulmer's DRA last year: 3.51
Let's not forget Gausman still has terrible problems against righties and has not yet come up with a new pitch to couteract that problem. The AL East is loaded with good righty hitters.Season IP TBF HR AVG OBP SLG 2013 24 99 3 0.2796 0.326531 0.445652 2014 46.1 189 3 0.2626 0.301587 0.36 2015 52 224 12 0.2749 0.316964 0.526316 2016 93.2 414 17 0.2842 0.345499 0.466667

The LABR AL auction is quietly one of my favorite sports related days of the year. It marks the beginning of my serious draft prep.
Auction calculators are nice, but there is no substitute for seeing actual prices paid in a knowledgeable auction. Love it.One league, 28 years, 9 championships. AL 4X4
Current Lineup:
Ohoppe 2 Rutschman 22 JRamirez 40 Dezenzo 5 Lewis 6 Semien 26 Torres 20 Hamilton 10 Tucker 42 Cowser 1 Meadows 5 Holliday 17 Andujar 10 Robert 28 P Lopez 8 G Rodriguez 5 Ragans 5 Holmes 10 JDuran 10 McArthur 1 Miller 6 Crochet 10 Crawford 1
