Which seven to grab in expansion draft?

[BigJonEmpire]

I would consider Gattis 4 and Altherr 4 over DeJong. But I think you chose well.

Thanks, everyone, for your input. Here's how my team ended up after Sunday's auction. Expansion draft picks in bold.

As I said, this is an odd league in which there are 10 owners drafting from 16 MLB teams plus certain players not on those teams. It's basically the equivalent of a 17-team mixed league. We do not have contracts; to keep someone, you pay them 150% of the previous year's salary or $4, whichever is more expensive. We are 5x5 with OBP instead of AVG and SB minus CS instead of SB. We have a 21-man active roster and a 9-man bench; on the bench, there is no distinction between major and minor leaguers. At the auction you buy your 21 starters and anywhere from 0 to 9 bench players. You can fill out the rest of your bench via FAAB, but you can't add more than 3 players per week.

C B. McCann 2
1B Votto 35
3B Rendon 11
CI Abreu 23
2B C. Taylor 4

Solid squad.

Thanks. More guys with significant injury histories than I usually prefer, but this league tends to discount for that.

Very solid squad, Erik. Well done at auction.
