GRB H2H Keeper v.4

[InvincibleCakeEater]

My team is going to steal the [expletive] out of some bases.

[thrill]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


One word: Ankiel.

Whew. I had to check and make sure my autopick didn't go [expletive] and take him for like 25 bucks.

That was the plan, but it back fired hilariously.

For like 4 picks straight immediately after you left, your autodraft acted a fool while we kept driving up the prices.

[Richie Allen]

If anyone needs a bloated old DH, let me know. I've got Ortiz and Guerrero and only have room for one of them.

I noticed I have 4 full time 1b, 9 OF and one each of SS/3b. And 2 DL'd pitchers.

My team is going to steal the [expletive] out of some bases.

There will be little base stealing [expletive] left to steal when Crawford and Jacoby are done with them on my team. [expletive] bases.

Yeah and it burned me hard when I was trying to bid up the price for Ankiel....

Richie... you want Ankiel for one of your DHs?

[Swirls]

All in all, I was happy with most of my autopicks. It looks like ESPN didn't go completely super haywire with the autobid - $16 for Porcello, $14 for Happ, $16 for Helton, $2 for Arroyo.

Some of my $1 roster filler were headscratchers though - lots of MI: Brendan Ryan, Akinori Iwamura, Miggy Tejada, Edwin Encarnacion.

First thing I did when I came into the office this morning was DL Berkman, and then go through the waiver wire and get my bench players settled with a proper amount of spares (I had zero reserve OF).

[Swirls]

Here are the rosters, per my ESPN e-mail at 1:30am EDT (is that really when the draft ended? If so, I'm glad I went to bed at 10:45pm EDT and autopicked the rest).

[ghostrunner]

I don't know why the hell I picked two relievers for my bench. Think at that point I was ready to be done and reflexively clicking on any stat line that looked good.

Swapped one out for O-Dog this morning.

[InvincibleCakeEater]

My team is going to steal the [expletive] out of some bases.

There will be little base stealing [expletive] left to steal when Crawford and Jacoby are done with them on my team. [expletive] bases.

ORLY?
