Why couldn't Anthony Reyes had been there in the 16th in my league, the one guy I really, really wanted and did not get.

Chest - you got to get the players you REALLY want by getting them early, ESP in the teens. I used a 13th to get Reyes

Mighty -- looks like we took the same approach. Cheap closers, late values at starters, focus on offense after Johan.



I like it.

Fire I like your team a lot looks like a closer is all you are missing...

Thanks. No question about the closer situation but my thought process was to get solid secondary guys and then go the FAAB route for potential closers.

Ok here is my team, and thanks again for that blunder Gekko and letting us have Richie Sexson at the end of the 8th

Outstanding offense, without a doubt. I think the back end of the rotation might cause you some discomfort, and you MUST have Vazquez and Garcia come through for you.

ICH -- great offense, nice saves. The weakness here is starting pitching -- good depth but no "sure things". You'll need to get a breakthough performance from one or two of your pitchers.

Yea the value just kept falling on the offense and I couldn't pass it up, I am banking of Vazquez and Garica big time they will either help me or kill me...

10 other teams passed on sexson, so I assume you are thanking them too? Ya, sexson was a nice pic there. Good job capitalizing on my mistake
