The Best Fantasy Pitching Staff EVAR!
So we had our fantasy draft the other day and it was an auto draft. I ranked my draft order out to 250 in a 11 team league and just about sh*t a brick when I saw my pitching staff. This is freakin ridiculous.
Zack Greinke Roy Halliday Tim Lincecum Chris Carpenter Dan Haren Andrew Bailey Mariano Rivera Ryan Franklin David Aardsma

Pretty good. Now how's the rest of your team look?

Re: The Best Fantasy Pitching Staff EVAR!
Are you also the owner of the other 10 teams in the league?

Re: The Best Fantasy Pitching Staff EVAR!
Your starters are great no doubt, but after Rivera your bullpen is shaky. Aardsma and Franklin are both due for a big let-down, and might lose their closer jobs, and Bailey is hurt.
I'd like to see what type of offense you managed to get as well. |

Re: The Best Fantasy Pitching Staff EVAR!
Clearly you are the best pitching team in your league, even without seeing the other teams rosters.
However, with such great pitching your hitting has too be bottom 10-11. Can we see your hitters? |

Re: The Best Fantasy Pitching Staff EVAR!
We had a guy who autodrafted the best pitching staff ever last year.
He came in dead last.

Best staff ever means worst offense ever. Since pitching is so fragile and unpredictable, you're better off having best offense ever.

Re: The Best Fantasy Pitching Staff EVAR!
His pen is a huge question mark. My top three starters against his might be a wash And Scherzer and Hughes are going to open some eyes. I like my staff much better.

Re: The Best Fantasy Pitching Staff EVAR!
Plus I got a little offense too...
C Matt Wieters C Geovany Soto 1B Mark Reynolds 1B Joey Votto 2B Casey McGehee 2B Ian Desmond 3B Adrian Beltre 3B David Freese SS Asdrubal Cabrera SS Alcides Escobar OF Jay Bruce OF Brad Hawpe OF Julio Borbon OF Rajai Davis OF Jason Heyward BN Seth Smith BN Clint Barmes BN Austin Jackson BN Russell Branyan I'm taking a chance on Desmond, Freese, Jackson and Escobar. counting on a bounceback from Beltre, but some good young talent. wish it were a dynasty league.
