Can I Brag About This One Fantasy Team I’ve Got?
Can I brag about this one fantasy team that I’ve got? It’s a keeper, twelve teams, head-to-head. Think I lost in the championships last year. Traded David Wright and Cole Hamels for Dustin Pedroia before keepers were due, which was kind of a loss maybe, but this team was too good to care and it made my six keepers going into the season Carlos Santana, Joey Votto, Dustin Pedroia, Brett Lawrie, Jose Reyes, and Carlos Gonzalez. Felt pretty good going into the draft.
Made pitching a priority in the (snake) draft, and got Brandon Beachy, Yu Darvish, Chris Sale, Dan Hudson, Sergio Santos, Frank Francisco. Snagged some late platoonable offense for my utility and last outfield spot — Matt Joyce, Lucas Duda, Logan Morrison. Picked Jason Kipnis with my last pick. Picked up Mike Trout off of waivers. Got plenty of closers.
My team is 41-39-10. My team is in eighth place.
