Guys, I just want you to know for those of you who came up short or
had a disappointing roto season, I feel your pain. Again, I am in a NL
only, 12 team, 5 X 5 keeper league. I was in 2nd place at the end of
May and just 5.5 points out of 1st. I then added in mid June via
trades in rebuilding deals Chad Billingsley & Hanley Ramirez (gave up
Hunter Pence in this deal) and then added Nate McLouth in mid July on
a rebuilding deal. When the smoke cleared I finished in 6th pace 5.5
points out of the money. After winning my league last year I knew it
was not going to be easy to challenge for the title again. However
come late May I was in great position and was able to make a couple of
great trades to challenge for the title for this season, or so I thought.
What killed me was I had to many players whose numbers were way off
where they should have been. Just in the trades I mentioned above, I
got Billingsley's last 20 starts in which he had a 5.03 ERA and just 5
wins. McLouth was injured and did not perform well overall and on top of that I
had huge disappointing seasons from my drafted players in Russell
Martin (spent $27 on him on draft day), Kelly Johnson (spent $23 on
him on draft day), Edwin EnCarncion (spent $19 on him on draft day) &
Matt Capps (spent $24 on him on draft day). This was just to much to
overcome. In fantasy baseball you need to be good but you also need to
have the stars align. I feel your pain guys but there is always next
year! Already looking forward to trade talks in my league for the off-
season."
