My BOXSCORE squad

[B-Fly]

Same league as Lucky, Long John, et al. 15-team 5x5 mixed. (*kept)

I went in with the lowest spend of any team keeping 10 players and planned to spend big on some studs: Halladay or Lee; Cano or Pedroia; Mo.Rivera or Betancourt. As you can see I was also tempted to splurge on McCutchen, and my early spending spree left me quiet for most of the latter half of the auction, but in a mixed league I always think the scrubs are easily replaced if they don't work out. What do you guys think?

For a 15-teamer, that's a good looking team. Your power and speed risks are pretty spread out. Butler at 18 is a jaw-dropping steal, IMO. Your reserves of Bloomquist, Byrd, and Helton form a pretty good plug and play trio if you have some hitting injuries. Given Baker's questionable health, I'd keep on the lookout for another SP on the waiver wire.

I like it too. GI Jones and Chris Johnson are some holes that you don't want to see in a 15-teamer, but you have some studs to make up for it. Delmon for 9 is a better buy than Butler. Baker looks like he could be toast so I don't like your SP depth, but you could plug Benoit in there and be OK. If Guerra doesn't keep the job then you might be in trouble. But it looks like a contender with room to make a big move by trading Miller or Harper for a truckload if things go right early.

I think Brian had a remarkably good auction, especially given that he didn't have a great keeper list. My projections show his squad to be a money team and in the mix for the top spot.

I will say that Butler would not have gone that cheaply had the site not frozen me out during that bidding. I love Butler this year.
