Quote of the day
"I could have made a couple of more plays for my team. ... Triple-double means absolutely nothing in a loss." -- Miami forward LeBron James, after losing game 5 in DallasDaily blurb
The RotoGuru/DBD Draft$treet weekly freeroll is over. Congrats to Vegasreno49, whose score of 421.2 was almost 10% better than the second place team. This roster showed good balance, producing about 3.8 points/$k on pitching and 4.4 pts/$k on hitting. The winning score of 421.2 was the only score over 400 pts. I think this may have been the best possible roster:
| Pos | Player | Salary | Points | % rosters |
|---|
| C | Miguel Olivo | $5,311 | 32.8 | na | | 1B | Prince Fielder | $8,270 | 57.3 | 2% | | 2B | Ben Zobrist | $5,511 | 25.1 | 5% | | 3B | Mark Reynolds | $4,051 | 30.7 | 3% | | SS | J.J. Hardy | $4,950 | 29.1 | 2% | | OF | Matt Kemp | $8,716 | 60.0 | 20% | | OF | Brennan Boesch | $6,701 | 46.7 | na | | OF | Jacoby Ellsbury | $7,555 | 43.9 | na | | UT | Albert Pujols | $6,239 | 56.5 | 25% | | UT | Carlos Quentin | $8,314 | 43.4 | 6% | | SP | Matt Cain | $6,336 | 53.0 | 6% | | SP | Justin Verlander | $8,962 | 45.5 | 25% | | SP | Alexi Ogando | $7,694 | 41.5 | 10% | | RP | Kyle Farnsworth | $1,951 | 25.0 | 14% | | P | Derek Holland | $5,379 | 41.0 | na | | P | Jason Vargas | $4,052 | 33.5 | na | | Totals | $99,992 | 665.0 |
Curiously, the winning team had only one player on this list – Justin Verlander. Note that players listed as being on “na” rosters doesn’t mean that they weren’t on any rosters – but they weren’t on any of the top 20 rosters, and I couldn’t look beyond that. Thanks to everyone who participated, and congrats to the prize winners. I hope some of you continue to play in other contests. Maybe I’ll try setting up a private rotoguru contest at some point. |
