As of today, top team with Ellsbury in 76th place. Certain picks create insurmountable odds.

Just counting the days until my insurance kicks in on our second round pick. Oh yeah, our 4th rounder was Kendry.

I too have Ellsbury and Kendry in my main league. Had Greinke, Beckett, and Hanson as 3 of my top 6 picks, and was told my pitching staff was "the envy of everyone". :(



Screw pitching.....way too unpredictable, and if I play next year, I won't be taking a bunch of pitchers early......that's for sure. ;)

the thing is, you ARE able to play a replacement player while Ellsbury is out. With him being an OF, that is the easiest position to replace. Yes, the "new" player won't put up the same numbers, but they should be decent
