This is a 12 team NL only keeper league with 4X4 roto scoring (HR, BA, Runs, Steals, ERA, WHIP, Wins, Saves). I am new to the league so had to get keepers from an expansion draft and drafted last in the regular (auction) draft. The results were less than optimal. Here is the roster - no bench players, all start:
Hitters:
C Iannetta
1B G Sanchez
2B R Weeks
3B A Ramirez
SS Y Escobar
MI I Desmond
CI C Headley
OF A Rowand
OF J Gomes
OF M Kemp
OF W Harris
Util G Parra
Util J Uribe
Pitchers:
C Kershaw
D Lowe
J O. Sanchez
K Correia
R Dempster
S Romo
T Saito
J Motte
I purposely punted on closers because there were no good ones left and the mediocre ones went for top dollar. No one in the league took any RPs except me so I'm hoping to pick up a newly minted closer if one of mine doesn't get a closer job. Any particular areas I should look to improve in apart from saves - the league is very active in trading. Thanks for looking.
Wow, that doesn't look like a 12 team roster. It looks much deeper, which isn't a great thing. Did your leaguemates not give you a fair start to your team? How do you have some of those hitters in a 12 team league? Your pitchers are pretty bad too. Sorry, this isn't that helpful, but you kinda need everything. Maybe try to trade Weeks before he gets hurt and get better somewhere else on your team.
