So I did a live, roto auction draft today. And it was intense. 15 guys, $260 for a cap, and I was way over my head. I was stuck with Wright, Kinsler, Ellsbury, Ortiz, and Gonzalez as my keepers from last season as I took the team over after the deadline for selections. Anyways, here is my team, and yes I will be making lots of trades.

$7 for David Ortiz ain't bad.

[Foster]

I know, I am hoping to trade him at some point this season. There is a couple Sox fans in this league, that would love to get him for that price.

[Witlon]

You're going take quite the hit on saves to start the season, but it's far from the worst team I've seen.

[Foster]

Yeah, I know saves will be hard to come by. At the same time, holds are worth something in this league.

[Witlon]

Eh, that works out then. Win holds, last in saves, still comes out to 7.5 for each. (I averaged...I know, I'm surprised I can divide, too!)

Looks good then, especially when the young outfielders make it to the majors.

[Foster]

Yeah they'll be keepers for years to come, that's something I am looking forward too. I'll be able to keep them at a $1 salary and spend all the other money on players that I pick up in the auction.

Yeah, I know saves will be hard to come by. At the same time, holds are worth something in this league.

There's always guys who lose closing jobs and others who "find some magic" during the year. Just keep an eye on the waiver wire and watch for injuries (ex. I picked up JJ Hoover who's favored to be the closer until Chapman comes back).
