Final congrats to Guru on a great season. I managed to pull off the mirror image season, with a masterful performance to secure 16th place in RIBC. Nearly got the moral victory of 15th, but couldn't quite break free from that black cloud that followed me around most of the year!
Bumgarner and Turner injured shortly after drafting. Early picks too. Arenado starts cold and gets suspended early. He recovered to carry the offense at least. My really good feelings about Zunino, Castillo, Duffy, Holland, etc were way off base. Dropped Bud Norris when the Cards signed Holland only made it worse! Streamed through Profar early, Dereck Rodriguez later on, and a few other solid players slipped right through my fingers. Drafted Duffy over Snell according to my recap. Having Castillo and Duffy start so poorly with Bumgarner hurt and a trash bullpen really ruined any attempt at a heavy bullpen strategy early. Moments in late May and early June where my team had a total of 6 points in the pitching categories. Didn't have much for trade bait. Just had to stream like crazy and hope for the best. No such luck. Kept Desmond for a few months of garbage and of course he went on fire when I gave up hope and dropped him. Time after time, if there was a choice to be made, I would choose wrong. Not sure what those gut feelings were, but they certainly weren't any help with my baseball strategy this year! Back down to the minors to try to learn some more lessons! Thanks to the fellow RIBC competition for making it tough to dig out of my hole, and Guru for running this. Cheers all.
