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.

Gordon Gekko · Post by **Gordon Gekko** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 1:37 pm

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...

ALL-IN JD · Post by **ALL-IN JD** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 2:49 pm

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.

ALL-IN JD · Post by **ALL-IN JD** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 2:59 pm

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.

King of Queens · Post by **King of Queens** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:02 pm

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.

edelman24 · Post by **edelman24** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:02 pm

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
