FARM:
D. Fowler - OF - OAK
C. Stewart - OF - DET
AJ Puk - SP - OAK
A. Hansen - SP - CWS
Plans:
Load up pitching staff for $100-$115 if prices are okay... Stockpile SP flyers, don't pay for RP, FA always yields gems, SVs can be had in trade... On offense, don't pay $45 for anybody, spread the money, keep 2-3 holes to be filled via Farm and trade including a $1 spot for D. Fowler to jump to quickly.
Full Roster (Keepers in BOLD):
C = G. Sanchez $5
C = M. Zunino $13
1B = J. Hicks $1
2B = B. Dozier $28
SS = J. Segura $34
3B = K. Seager $27

P = J. Happ $15

RSV1 - N. Tropeano - SP - LAA - $4
RSV2 - M. Boyd - SP - DET - $3
RSV3 - J. Biagini - SP - TOR - $1
RSV4 - F. Martes - SP/RP - HOU - $1
RSV5 - A. Warren - RP - NYY - $1
Comments: Spent $10-$25 less on pitching than planned, but probably unnecessary to load up more than I did. I had it in mind that Seattle has a killer offense, so Segura $34 + Seager $27 makes sense. Both feel like reliable 2nd tier production at livable prices. Segura $34 took me out of the bidding on Deshields $36/Kiermaier $29. Seager $27 was 2nd prize for missing Encarnacion $43/Donaldson $47 and spreading the rest elsewhere... Cozart $16 I had targetted up to the $18-$20 range, so loved that price. Brantley I had listed as $25 max, so I love the upside at $19. Piscotty $15 was 2nd prize after Grichuk went $21, and I let K. Calhoun slip by for a bargain $14... Probably would prefer the reliability of Calhoun for same price, Piscotty wasn't a target, but $15 seems fine. C. Gomez went $14, my 2nd prize target was a $7 Joyce... Span went $8, when I had a $9 max bid... I passed, instead I spent that dollar days budget on Granderson $4, Tropeano $4, and M. Boyd $3. No regrets there. Pitching market was wild. Stud SP inflation was 50-80%. Kluber $53, Verlander $45, Archer $36, G. Cole $34, Keuchel $33... of those I like Cole most, Archer is a fair deal too... but I couldn't pull the trigger until McCullers $29. G. Richards $24, Ohtani $23 also in that range... I wanted Ohtani, but cannot risk losing $23 in production if he goes to AAA.... For my $15 SP, here's the market: Gausman $19, Cobb $17, Lynn $15, Odorizzi $14, Estrada $14, Pomeranz $12, E. Santana $10... from that group I like my $15 Happ pick, who I had projected in the $18 range.
Flyers of note: I used dollar days for prospects rather than higher end $1 offensive plugs. I love Biagini as a $1 stash. He supposedly figured something out in 2nd half last year, and he'll be able to work on starting in AAA. Same with $1 F. Martes. He's had a great spring, and was a consensus top 25 prospect last year, and is only 22. Will also get to work things out in AAA, potential to get traded into starting role, or closer potential if starting isn't working. Tropeano $4 could pass all of Heaney, Skaggs, Shoemaker this year on the depth chart. I was surprised he went as high as $4, but shouldn't be so surprised at my clever league-mates.
Bargains I regret letting go: Z. Britton $7... he'll be such a good stash. Possible SVs with elite numbers, and possibility of becoming a highly valuable keeper. I had $12 as my price going in, not sure why I stopped at $7. K. Calhoun $14 was a bargain, as mentioned... J. Iglesias $3 should be a solid earner, no idea how he slipped past me...
Adam Jones $21 was likely too low, but our league fades aging stars more harshly at times.
