I went after Fulmer and Puk. I can't see Boxberger lasting very long in a ninth inning role for the Cubs. So, I think it will end up as Fulmer by default there. And I really think Puk has elite closer potential. Although he has to surpass Floro and Barnes. So, Puk is probably more of a second half guy for saves.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

This is unlikely to be the case in most leagues, but I was surprised by how cheap I got David Robertson. I think most in my league assume the deep pocketed owner will trade for a closer, but Robertson has been successful before and if given the chance, I think he can run with it. I also got Ottavino as a handcuff for only $1, so its not like my league thought it would be him. And I landed Edwin Diaz for a trade chip or as a keeper next year. Now just waiting for him to be put on the IL. No idea why he isn't on there yet. But I got the trio for the price I thought I'd have to pay for just Robertson.
Another guy, who I did not get, that went cheaper than expected, was AJ Minter. I guess my league has faith that Iglesias' injury is minor.Comment

The A's really want Trevor May to be the guy, so they can deal him away at the deadline. He hasn't pitched well this spring, so you can get him for $1 or so late.Comment

In our 12 team NL-only, I kept a $3 Hunter Harvey and drafted Yency Almonte late in the reserve rounds. I also kept a $1 final year $1 Floro and an $8 Doval.2021 Auction Anatomy

Nice find. I didn't realize he had emerged as the frontrunner to be the primary closer, but it looks like he may have!Originally posted by harmon View PostComment

Bryan Baker in Baltimore is a long shot but I like him. Another long shot; Ron Marinaccio. If Holmes gets hurt again or falters, I could see Marinaccio getting a chance. Twelve Ks in 6 IP this spring. I also like Hunter Harvey as ThatRogue mentioned.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

I had McGough in my queue but got talked into outbidding the defending champ on Ozuna for my final roster spot. But thankfully he went undrafted so I'll put a FAB on him on Monday as I have to move Altuve to IL.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing.
