okay-
3 things that Im thinking when I look over there- and havent looked at the rest of the league:

1 Id use the cheaper Sisler in an 80 mil league and spread that money a bit more

2 I see lots of guys that are going to get on base but not sure how most of them will score

3 Not sure I understand the thinking in the Pen- your 3 primary RPs are all Lefties with Forster being your specialist-
Would like to see at least one righty that can go some innings without getting rocked.

maybe more if I get a minute to look again.

I wholeheartedly agree with the 1st Mock Draft Championship Winner... especially #2.

I'd like a little bigger bat to move those guys around.

Agree with this comment from Salty, and 2 righty relievers I have had good luck with chewing up innings and doing a good job are Chick Brandom at 3.29 and Cecil Upshaw at 1.13.....

I suggest purchasing Joe the Jet's ratings.

It's not worth that much to me!

I like the more expensive Lindstrom much better - more run-producing potential. I agree with swapping out one of the lefties for a RH reliever.

I'd turn Joe Page into Joe Beggs (similar price, RHP) perhaps and certainly dump Lefty Russell.

You want a power bat somewhere to get the RBI's (A technique you can use - I'm sure you know it - is to go to your dope site, use the pool tool for your park, and sort by category - HR perhaps to get the power hitter you want)

You do NOT need nor want 3 catchers

The 4L Frisch is only a good play if you will see a LOT of LHP. The slightly pricier bullet proof ones are better for most leagues. (I suspect that the pitchers in your league will be adjusted after waivers)



best of luck! :mrgreen:
