So in my money fantasy league I tried an absurd strategy just to see if it would work in an auction draft. I went for literally all offense, literally 1 starting pitcher and a ton of low end shitty closers (guys like Jim Johnson, and waiver wire pickups like Matt Bush, Bud Norris. etc) and my team is in first place. I spent all my money on the likes of Trout, Mookie, Miggy, Cano, Turner, Gary Sanchez, Cargo (been a bust) and got a ton of late guys cheap (Brantley $1, Suarez $1, Cozart $1) and due to people incredibly impatient and dropping guys like Bumgarner, Bautista, and Nunez, my team is now:
C: Gary Sanchez
1B: Miguel Cabrera
2B:Cesar Hernandez
SS: Zach Cozart
3B: Eugenio Suarez
1B/3B: Cody Bellinger
SS/2B: Eduardo Nunez
OF: Mookie
OF: Trout
OF: Stanton
OF: Brantley
OF: Bautista
Util: Carlos Gonzalez
Bench: Robinson Cano (DL), Justin Turner (DL), Aaron Altherr
Pitching: Jim Johnson, Bud Norris, Tony Watson, Matt Bush, Justin Wilson, Corey Knebel, Hector Neris, Rick Porcello, Madison Bumgarner (He got dropped after his injury so the guy could stream AJ Griffin lol) and then I have an open spot where I just stream random guys, mostly guys who play the Padres.
I don't think I've ever had a team this stacked. I'm winning every offensive category except SB (A dude who has Hamilton and Gordon), and pitching I'm easily winning saves, K's and wins as I just stream good matchups since its a 10 team league and there is always decent guys on wire, and am basically punting ERA/WHIP. I can't believe there is money on the line in this league. I loved work leagues with casuals lol.
He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2013 and he only appeared in 2 games that year.
- It seems that righty Daniel Bard is back at a career crossroads, as he has been released by the Cardinals, according to Eddy’s report. Bard, once an elite bullpen arm with the Red Sox, ran up 19 walks in 8 2/3 outings at the Double-A level as he has continued to struggle to stay in the zone.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team.
Baltimore was playing over their heads earlier. They were outplaying their run differential, or in other words, getting somewhat lucky. They shouldn't be as bad as they're playing right now either, but they weren't as good as they were playing earlier.
This is why you can't judge a lot over a one month sample, good or bad. In baseball, things can change very quickly.
Stupid article. You swing at a pitch, it's a strike, moron.
