my batting average could be really bad and i'm hoping my steals don't fall short. pitching could be ok if they stay healthy.
what do you think?

[ChipChopChip]

I thought you got great prices for your top pitchers. I thought this draft was interesting that closers went for much less than the two other auctions I have done this year. I am guessing that is because this was a FAAB draft and not a DC. I think you would have been better off on your offense if you would have spent your Swarber money on a quality 1B and gotten a Gomes or Weiters in that catching slot

I'm all in on Schwarber this year (have him in every league) and if he gets 450+ abs he will earn $30 or more. I'm hoping Reed finds his way into Houston earlier than later, but I think Howard will outperform any catcher that I could've replaced Schwarber with.
I think you put together a nice pitching staff with good upside and if your closers keep their jobs all year, you'll get at least 10 points in saves for 18 bucks. not bad.
Battingwise, you cornered the market on old farts, even though I think Ellsbury could rebound for 40 steals or so and Zimmerman could be in the discussion for comeback player of the year. Double E is Double E...fun to watch mash. Correa is a wild card this year. I'm not sure his power last year will stick, but if it does, he's vintage ARod worthy of the top overall pick. If Sousa figures out how to get the ball to run into his bat a little more often, he's got 25/25 potential. Overall, if father time stays away from your guys, you could put up some good numbers.

[ChipChopChip]

I have Schwarber in 1 of my 5 leagues. I am just worried about his number of AB's with the signing of Fowler.

My team has a ton of injury risk.

I love the auction format!! Every auction is so different from the next. This format keeps you on your toes
