As Darik said, we liked the results of this draft. That's no guarantee that this team will be successful, but we like the hitter/pitching breakdown from this 14-team format. For complete results go here:

A wise man and an NFBC Hall of Famer who will go nameless (okay, Shawn Childs!!) once had a goal of getting 75 Home Runs and 75 Stolen Bases from his first three picks. That was in the old days when there were more 20-20 players and fewer Starting Pitchers going in the first round. It wasn't necessarily our goal coming into this draft, but when we started with Trea Turner, Bo-Bichette and Luis Robert it kind of had an old-school feel. BaseballHQ projects 75 homers and 91 stolen bases from those three guys this year. All three would have to have good health to reach those milestones, but a guy can dream, right?
This is also a trading league with unlimited DL spots, so securing Chris Sale was an easy decision as we can replace him on our bench with another player for 2-3 months. We also felt German Marquez fell way too far and will use him in road-home splits. Anyway, here's the roster:
C - JT Realmuto
C - Max Stassi
1B - Eric Hosmer
2B - Max Muncy
SS - Trea Turner
3B - Kyle Seager
MI - Bo Bichette
CI - Eduardo Escobar
UT - Franmil Reyes
OF - Luis Robert
OF - Mike Yazstremski
OF - Andrew McCutchen
OF - Chris Taylor
OF - Mark Canha
P - Tyler Glasnow
P - Joe Musgrove
P - Kevin Gausman
P - German Marquez
P - Dallas Keuchel
P - Taijuan Walker
P - Elieser Hernandez
P - Josh Hader
P - James Karinchak
Reserves: Chris Sale, Bryan Reynolds, Chris Martin, Adbert Alzolay, Adam Wainwright, Kike Hernandez
