[QUOTE=sam11;8809717]Betances is the man[/QUOTE]

He might be the man, but he has not been named the closer yet

[QUOTE=enbambam6986;8809727]He might be the man, but he has not been named the closer yet[/QUOTE]

I think he will be. If not, I'm screwed lol. Can I PM someone my next pick? I have to leave soon. Thanks.

Edit never mind

I've got Homerun's next pick so whenever he is up PM me

Sorry guys, going to have to wait an hour to pick- In class now, will be done at 1015. Will set up as soon as possible after that to make my double pick

For the record, Shields was a guy I was thinking about taking

I have 5 guys I want to take with my next two picks. Kinda hoping you guys take some to make my choices easier.

Done with class and here, just need a few minutes for some last min research and decisions

Alright, well, here we go. First off, wanted to lock down a closer, as saves is a huge category- worth as many points as a win. While he blew a few too many saves last year, he still finished with 45 saves and looks like a good option at 24 years old:

After that, I desperately need another starting pitcher, but I'm really, really struggling to find an arm that I'm comfortable taking right now. I need a pitcher that will contribute for me in these first few years, but someone that is young enough so that they won't die out in 3 years. I considered completely scrapping my plans and going with another bat, but I just can't do that right now with the SPs already being so thin. So, I ended on this guy, who is an established starter, looks to be for awhile, had a great year last year, and will be pitching in a pitcher's park that I'm pretty familiar with:

Sure thing. Guys, PM me now when Homerun is up again, I now have his pick

Nice double picks. Especially Hughes I miss him in our rotation now

Thanks sam. You're a Yanks fan? Glad my team has Hughes now too, hopefully he can anchor our rotation for awhile. I do think that the move out of NY helped him a lot, both psychologically and in the ballpark that he now plays in

Yeah, Yankees, Rangers and Cubs. He's a .500 pitcher but he'll be good in a smaller market like Minnesota

2 or 3 Utility?

He can be better than .500, as he proved last year, but the change in scenery did help a lot. I'm hoping for a repeat performance of last year while not expecting one, so hopefully everything will turn out

Hmm, I have 3 on my word doc I've been using to plan out my picks, but now that you mention it, I'm not sure. I'll check the league when I'm back on my laptop and let you know

[QUOTE=enbambam6986;8810301]2 or 3 Utility?[/QUOTE]

Here's Homerun's pick PMed to Sam PMed to me. Can someone format/PM? I just got off my laptop and am posting this on my phone-

The league has 2 in the settings, but 3 would be ok too...

[QUOTE=SaveMeTheGum;8810354]The league has 2 in the settings, but 3 would be ok too...[/QUOTE]

I mean we got 3 pitching utility, why not 3 batting

Is there a minimum amount of innings your pitchers have to pitch every week? I got 30 innings/week in mine and if you fail to reach 30 innings your pitching stats don't count and you lose. 30 was a good amount if I remember correctly too

I think 30 is a lot of inning
