A.L. ONLY - hdid - gives you a little insight to what others are thinking

[Art Vandelay]

a.l. only
11 teams
$280 to spend
25 man active roster
(we draft 15 hitters/10 pitchers so it is very similar player pool to the usual 12 team only $260 23 man roster)

I am still not sure how I feel about this squad, what do you think?

we have a 15 round reserve draft, hitters include c.arroyo, motter, napoli and reed. I drafted 10 pitchers hoping to get lucky (duffey, banda, burrows, c.fulmer, manning, f.martes, m.perez, gonsalves, faedo, alvarado)

Not sure quite how to translate values to your somewhat unusual format, but obviously you have some solid keepers. Not sure I like Mallex for a full $14, or bothering to keep Maldonado at all, but I do like EE, Candelario, Cole, Salazar for 8. Otherwise I think to be honest you might be light on pitching after Cole, and questionable on SBs unless Merrifield and Mallex really come through. And you'll obfiously need to look to replace Bonifacio. Good looking power, though!

[Rush]

Looks pretty decent to me. OF could use a bump, I worry about Smith and Bonafacio is out half the year and how will he be after extended layoff. Working the WW should help with that.

[virgonomic]

Lots of power. I think Smith/Merrifield/Correa is a good base for speed. Correa should steal 10 as he didn't run at all last season.

Osuna/Herrera will put you top half in saves and Hildenberger could replace Rodney with Reed sticking as the setup man.

SP is a bit light and you need to scour the FA pool for starters.

Overall a nice team with a couple holes and power to deal.

[Hornsby]

I like it for an only...pretty well balanced, decent speed and power, nice plays on the pitching side and a couple of closers. I really don't see anything in your reserve pitching to get excited about, but with pitching, you just never know...nice job.
