Interesting team -- large salary total, but often just in expensive platoons so not as valuable as at first glance.

Need help with a closer and a starter, and it would be nice to have a 3B who could both hit and field.

Among others, could offer:
- Edwin Rios - career year in '20
- Jason Heyward - fine vs. RHP in '20
- Travis D'Arnaud - good DH vs. RHP in '20
- Brandon Nimmo - also good vs. RHP in '20
- Max Kepler - also good vs. RHP in '20
- Jedd Gyorko - fine vs. LHP in '20

Others might be available in a more spectacular deal

I am pleased with the results so far. Have decided that Yelich could go in the right deal, preferably one that included a prospect of interest.

Still have a bunch of platoon guys available, if you need a little boost:
- Edwin Rios - career year in '20
- Jason Heyward - fine vs. RHP in '20
- Travis D'Arnaud - good DH vs. RHP in '20
- Brandon Nimmo - also good vs. RHP in '20

From Supp Draft portion of league rules

Supplemental Free Agent Drafts:

1) A Supplemental Free Agent draft of up to two rounds will be held between seasons 1 and 2 of each calendar year.
2) All owners must announce their roster drops (up to three) prior to the Supplemental draft within the time frame announced by the commissioner.
3) Owners may draft no more than two players; Owners are not required to draft any players during the Supplemental draft.

Is line 2 correct at 3 drops? Or is line 3 correct at 2 picks?

So, we didn't hold a supplemental draft last year (our first year). I believe three was intended, but with the late supplemental draft, I think two may be better. I think we should vote on this. I'm good with either, but will vote for 2.

Rant - 2 Rounds

I'd vote 3, I still have some drops from this wonky, but pretty good roster
