My Fantasy Baseball Team

Last Saturday we had the online draft for our fantasy baseball league, "The Edson Hard Balls."

There are eight teams in this year's league and I'm the defending champ. My squad - "Inside The Parker" had a strong season last year and on Saturday I ended up drafting 6 of the guys from my winning team. I'll be making changes during the year, but here's my current roster.

C - Evan Gaddis
1B - Anthony Rizzo
2B - Jose Altuve
3B - Josh Donaldson
SS - Trevor Story
OF - Mark Trumbo,  Adam Jones  & Andrew McCutcheon
Utility - Albert Pujols, Kendrys Morales
Bench - Justin Tuner, Jose Ramirez & Marcus Semien
SP - Justin Verlander, Jon Lester, Michael Wacha, Tanner Roark & Lance McCullers
RP - Aroldis Chapman, Kenley Jansen, Jeuryls Familia & Alex Colome.

The five hitting categories that we win points in are HR, RBI, Runs, BA and Steals. Pitching categories are Wins, Strikeouts, Saves, WHIP and ERA. This squad is strong is sluggers and relief pitching. My starting 10 averaged 31 HRs & 93 RBI last year. That's good, but I lack speed and will struggle with batting average.  I expect to do well in HR, RBI, Runs, WHIP and ERA. Should keep me competitive!
