    NL-Only HDID: Tell Me How Much My Team Sucks

    The league format:

    * NL only keeper league
    * 4x4 - HR, RBI, BA, SB, ERA, Wins, K's, Saves
    * 11 teams
    * $260 budget

    The auction:

    * A ton of money in the auction + not a lot of available talent = steep inflation.
    * Good starting pitching was extremely scarce.
    * Goal: I had Jaimeson Taillon and Jon Gray as keepers, so I was looking to add 4-5 more starters to roll up Win's and K's, hopefully without destroying my ERA.

    ==================================================

    Here's what I ended up with (** = keepers):

    OF1 - Carlos Gonzalez - $35
    OF2 - Starling Marte - $31
    OF3 - Yasmany Tomas - $15 **
    OF4 - Jay Bruce - $20
    OF5 - AJ Pollock - $5 **
    1B - Chris Marrero - $1
    3B - Nolan Arenado - $36 **
    CR - Jung ho Kang - $1
    2B - Brandon Phillips - $6 **
    SS - Zack Cozart - $1 **
    MF - Joe Panik - $6 **
    C1 - Tucker Barnhart - $1
    C2 - Andrew Susac - $1
    UT

    P1 - Matt Moore - $20
    P2 - Tanner Roark - $23
    P3 - Jon Gray - $10 **
    P4 - Jaimeson Taillon - $10 **
    P5 - JWei-Yin Chen - $10
    P6 - Brandon McCarthy - $4
    P7 - Seung-Hwan Oh - $10 **
    P8 - Neftali Feliz - $10 **
    P9 - Corey Knebel - $1 **
    P10 - Mike Montgomery $1 **

    Reserves (free):

    Jabari Blash
    David Wright
    Luis Sardinas
    Nick Senzel
    AJ Ellis
    Brian Anderson
    Kike Hernandez
    Daniel Descalso

    Patrick Corbin
    Shohei Otano
    Eddie Butler
    Anthony Banda
    Brandon Woodruff
    Ryan Buchter
    Dillon Peters
    Dinelson Lamet

    ==================================================

    So... other than the gaping hole at the corner, how did I do?

    And, yes, I did cut Brandon McCarthy at $5, and then reacquired him at $4. I didn't mean to. It just happened.

    "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
    "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
    "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

    11-team NL, everyone has holes. Getting Kang for $1 is a steal assuming he ever plays in the US again. You'll be near the bottom in steals but everything else looks really good. Like the other NL-only I commented on recently, esp once you had Kang I would have preferred to skip Moore and get a real 1B, but you said you were looking to get extra starters so I understand why you didn't. I'd rather have gotten something like Duda and Adam Conley (is that around $21?)
    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.

      Given your constraints I think you filled your roster very nicely. Corbin might surprise in the opposite way that he surprised last year. Hopefully the better "pitch framing catchers" he has this year will help.

          This is much better than doing it the other way around.
