Wow.

[Bronx Yankees]

How come I never fall into starts like that?

Not sure what's more surprising: Machado lasting to 1.12, Donaldson lasting until 2.4, Cano lasting until 3.12 or Lester lasting until 4.4. I think Donaldson at 2.4 might be the best "bargain" of that lot, but it's close.

Looks like this start was aided by some aggressive drafting of pitchers. Team from the 8-spot drafted: Scherzer, Sale, Chapman, Jansen, and deGrom before rostering K. Davis. Team from the 6-spot started with: Kershaw, Marte, Verlander, Arrieta, Lucroy and Kimbrel. Arrieta lasting until 4.10 is rather shocking, at least to me.

Good eye. After the drafts I've been in so far I'm quite surprised Jansen lasted until 4.8 after Chapman went 3.8. Usually you'll see Jansen go first and if either gets picked one of the other owners takes the other. Unless the picks are close to the turn but here every owner had a crack at the 2nd top closer.

I'll take a Macado, Donaldson, cano, Leaster start!
