On my last team, one Revere was almost worth one McCutchen. Knowing that now, it's hard for me to justify spending up. I wholeheartedly encourage others to do so however!

I didn't make my point clear apparently. I was agreeing wholeheartedly with the theme of this thread. my 10+ million dollar star is giving me everything I could hope for, including my best ever differential. still I've been hovering a little above .500 all season. just too many sacrifices made to fit that huge salary.

I see what you're saying now.

The tour finals draft is almost complete. We can take a look at that a little more closely too, once the Finals league launches. Lots of interesting things to see there...

it's plus 35 in runs scored but too weak vs lhp.

your all ones are doing pretty good so far. big series for us tonight. hopefully the division leader collapses and we both get in the playoffs.

Oh, now you've done it, J-Pav, I'll never see Parrino after the draft again. He's up to 25, by the way.

I didn't realize it at the time, but I have him as a back-up on one of my own teams. He's 0-100 with 0 home runs!

You also didn't mention that having Parrino start v. RHP at .50 allows me to have Trout!

And I don't know if it's a championship team or not, but it's a playoff one, in a real tough league.

Here's the disconnect though:

24 Parrino's at 25 homers each = 600 home runs for $12 mil vs 1 Trout at 40 homers = 40 homers for $12 mil.

Disclaimer: I just picked up Trout from the FA pool in my last league. I should pick up 24 Parrino's!

Disregard.

I just dropped him.

Too expensive!
