I wanted Billingsley, Hughes and Greinke, so I took them at least a round early. A team in this league punted starters so I likely could have waited, but how often do you come in with a plan and it actually works!! Grabbed Ichiro with the 16th pick anticipating the low average guys I would take later. I have to many 1Bs and will need to hunt for some saves, but overall very happy. Good luck to all.

if you are looking for feedback...taking 5 SP in the first 12 rounds is a recipe for having a weak offense (which you have). i have no problem with someone taking their players early, but there is a time to say "when"

Ratbeer,



The offense does look a bit on the weaker side (especially speed), but all in all, I like the players on your team.



Your pitching is one closer and one starter away from being OUTSTANDING, as Grienke and Hughes at 4/5 with those 3 studs in front is very nice.



You need some of your hitters to overachieve, but if you do, you should be in the running.



Nice job!
