Cheap saves
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

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.

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

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.
