The $171 team. Nola and Scherzer is much more comfortable than Ryu and Scherzer. Easier to find bats than a stud starter.

[Sharky]

Agree with Harmon here. I go for the first team.

Not close. If Scherzer is worth $54, Nola is worth $29.

Thanks to all who responded.

I have a tendency to undervalue pitching and need to be reminded of it's importance from time to time.

I know Nola is worth $29 in our league. Not so sure Scherzer is. But he did go for $54 last year, Kershaw went for $47, and Nola $29.

The Kershaw owner did not keep him ( first roster cutdown to 19 players yesterday). That would leave Kershaw, deGrom, Corbin, Strasburg, and Godly as the best current available starters in the auction.

It will be interesting to see if Kershaw and Stras get picked up in our winter waiver draft.
