Great example, Kent. Whatever happened to Stage 4? FWIW I had Bradley worth $16, splitting the difference between you and your friend. I didnt have the money for him at that point, unfortunately. I guess many didnt.
If you listen to the Nats TV announcers, if you've got Andrew Stevenson, then you've got enough hitting :-)
I came into the PCL draft with Davies, Anderson, Gonsolin (mistake), & Suter for pitchers. Kept Narvaez, Moose, Davis, Hampson, Rojas, O'Neill, Pollock, and Calhoun.
Wasn't looking for pitching but found it.
Everyone I bought went under my number or right at it. Probably don't have enough hitting right now but I hope so.
139 players kept so our auction started at 140.
Here's two PCL examples of what makes the world go round in roto.
I dropped a bid (wasn't paying attention) and Jackie Bradley went for 10 (I had him at 22 on my list). My friend this morning said, no big deal, I had Bradley at 9.
What hurt, he said, was Votto who he had at 22, going for 9. No problem, I said, I had Votto at 7 on my list.
Roto in a nutshell.
Well, the $50M fee keeps the pikers out.

Excited to be joining the league! Surprised at the $50M initiation fee....maybe D Monfort can float me a loan

Thanks, folks. We've got a probable owner and one more interested at this time.

Hello The Patton & Co League has an opening for 2021. Please read below. If you are interested, you can email me at kostby -- at -- google's email. Let me know your previous experience with roto.
The draft is always the Tuesday night after Opening Day (currently 4/6) and starts at 830 ET.
This team ran last year as a dead team (23 man roster kept from the previous year and 10 man minor league reserve squad drafted).
The league is an NL only 5x5 with a standard 23 man roster and a 10 man combined reserve / minor league list. Cost is $165 a year. 15 keepers (major and minor league).
The roster below has the following statuses for contracts:
S1 -- You will have the option to keep the player one more year or extend them at $5 increased salary per additional year kept.
S2 -- Second year of contract, no special conditions apply.
S4 -- Minor league contract that will not start aging until the owner activates the player (any time of season) or the major league team actives the player during normal roster size (i.e. prior to "September" roster expansion).
