Guys - I just sent an updated sheet for review. I did NOT include Maury Wills on this list at 1.4 to sneeze.
I lost my pre-set distribution list, so please advise if I left you off this distribution list by mistake. :(

Alex Johnson 0.7
I've decided not to go any higher on McCormick. It was a tough lose-lose decision. If I had McCormick he'd start 11 or 12 games during the season - all against Sneeze or Paul; and he'd do very well in those starts. But, I don't use RJ's technique to prevent S/R pitchers from relieving, so he'd also enter quite a few games as a reliever, and he gets crushed against righties. Plus, if I took away the bid from Sneeze, he'd have another 0.5 mil to beef up his lineup against lefties. So, by taking him, I'd have to spend more than I can afford and get a pitcher that would probably lose some games in reilef and give Sneeze money to spend on hitters v. lefties - thus, making McCormick less effective. A losing proposition. If I don't take McCormick, then I have to start righties against Sneeze and he kills righties. Also a losing proposition.
The bottom line is Sneeze will get McCormick and, other than 3 to 4 games against Paul, McCormick shouldn't be on the mound for him; the plus being that I can't start McCormick against him. Sneeze has the inside track to win the Central. The weird thing that happened in this draft is that the two lefty-hitting teams are in the Central and West, and other than Paul's and Sneeze's teams, all the top lefty starters are in the East.

Interesting analysis Franky...Actually I will start McCormick at home regularly as my part is "dead" to righties...I will take any sixth starter who falls to me to play on the road in McCormick's "skipped" turns
Glad you think I have the inside track in the Central. However, that's why we play the games!
