FYI -- there is a pretty good chance there is going to be a "Doubt Wars" competition based on the results from Tout Wars at the end of March where you do just this (but have to add $1 to each winning bid).

Shields at $19 should be a staple on anybody's team (he should have gotten 1st tier treatment with a full $25+ bid)..

His ratios, ip, and wins potential is just ridiculous. Only knock is mediocre K rate.

Hmm. other than Jim Johnson, Darvish Vargas/Iwakuma, Holland and maybe Gentry, this team didn't end up being very good. Surprised I did so well on pitching and so bad on hitting.

[onejayhawk]

I have wondered why there is not any shadow drafting on this site.

[TranaGreg]

[DJBeasties]

I could have sworn I did this. Maybe it was a mixed?
