My fourth year in the league, with a 4th, 9th, and 3rd. Decided to give it all this year, wound up with the following team just a couple of dollars under the salary cap:
C LuCroy
C Rosario
1 Fielder
2 Pedroia
3 Encarnacion
4 Aybar
M Scutaro
CR Middlebrooks
O C. Gonzalez
O Willingham
O Prado
O Joyce
O Venable
U Dyson
Bench: Y.Alonso, Loney, Ibanez
SP Scherzer
SP Latos
SP Price
SP Lee
SP Shields
SP Cain
SP De La Rosa
SP Samardzija
SP Kennedy
SP Kendrick
CL Mujica
CL Balfour
CL Papelbon
CL Gregg
CL Grilli
RP A. Cook
I've had this group since the July 31 deadline, and have made a little progress. I'm currently 3rd, 2.5 points out of second, but 2d-5th seems to be anybody's guess. 1st seems out of reach.
Every week I pick the starters who seem to have the best matchups, then fill out the roster with 2-4 closers.
Only eight of these guys have what I would consider keepable contracts.
It seems I would have an excellent chance to nail down second with this group, but the theme this year was dump early and often.
