Solid in the OF, real good at the corners, a bit of a mess in the middle. Rotation felt a bit scratchy during the draft but I think it's probably scrubbed up OK.

Though taking Lucroy where I did was a big mistake as a whole bunch of nice guys in the Top 60/80 got taken right after that, hence my having to resort to McCarthy/Doubront. The Maholm pick was a bit of a reaction to that - trying to stabilise with a guy who would pitch plenty of innings and not be completely awful.

Too many Astros, but hopefully Wallace will do something and Maxwell could be a 20/15 guy at a nice price, though with a horrible average. Which he might need to be if Stubbs turns into a dead pick...

What, you an Astros fan? Kidding... I don't mind Astros actually in a set it and forget it because they will play the guys, it's not like they'll be trading for better guys or something to make a pennant run... I agree with your assessment... I like the OF, love the corners, up the middle (SS, MI and pitchers) is a bit messy... If Wainwright fails to live up to an ace, your pitching might be in real trouble...

Yeah, the cupboard gets bare real quick, especially if you make a bit of a misstep. Be interested to see how this team works out - there are an awful lot of guys here that are best available point shares picks...

Selected this team out of the 13th slot.
I think this team can compete. Prolly have issues with AVG. and maybe on the lighter side of STEALS, but offensively I like it. My pitching staff is lacking an ace, but I’m hoping for goodness across the board. My biggest question is, should I’ve taken Bundy instead of Straily as my last pitcher?

I think your team is a tad better than Steve's (sorry, Steve!)... I don't mind the pitching at all...

No need to apologise. The last time you liked vinko's team better than mine in this league, I finished ahead of him

So there's that...

Oh - and just for fun we picked a manager to 'manage' our team. Couldn't go past this guy:

Nice...

Just War-Roomed it. Bastardo is the missing pitcher...
