everyone went for hitting, I got second pick overall meaning I can't miss on a fllood of elite starting pitching, a couple of bullpen aces, and the best of what's left of the hitters. suggestions on how to rank and who to pick with the current roster. seems to be no doubt I need LOTS of offense, but a chance to make a killer rotation too. Im in dodger, with fenway, shea and jarry in division.

okay, let's put it this way. got a horrible lineup due to missing out on mccovey, alou, aaron on autodraft. got most of my pitchers, but dierker, marichal, cueller, fergie, seaver many others still on wire, top hitters are bando, c. jones, blair, yaz, green, c. taylor and that's about it. any doubt you secure one of the hitters then hope to get lucky on down the rounds. just looking to share waiver strategy on still getting some picks in the later rounds. if you only go after the best names, you'll cancel most of your picks.

Meat, I am in your league so I don't want to give specific suggestions. However I would try to go after players, be that pitchers or hitters, that will give you the biggest advantage at home which is where you will play half your games.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

Good Luck :D

Place as many players with salaries around $0.50 on your waiver list. This way, you will be able to pick up players in all 7 rounds, maximizing your chances of having a full roster.

Oh yeah, I'm in your division. Good luck! :twisted:

put bando number one, would have changed the whole team and made me a contender...I picked second. he was gone...
