Literally just sign up and pay outside of the league. We'll probably just paypal everyone the 20 bucks at the end of the season anyway. This is your opportunity to skate around dumb gambling laws.

I first-picked Trout and got Mookie second pick last year, traded David Peralta for Trevor Story the day before play started, crushed the league all season, and then lost in the semifinals. I had successfully repressed that memory for a few months until finding this thread :eng99:

Yeah, looking at my 15-team dynasty league team just now filled me with sadness. Tore through the league and then at the end of the year, Gerrit Cole, Arrieta, Pomeranz and Strasburg all died. I ended up with the most motley crew of championship week starters ever and lost by 100 points.

Head to head is SO MUCH BETTER, but for the record I do play in one roto money league and I actually loving won that one last year (despite Jose Fernandez loving DYING) so maybe I should just stick to that.

What are you guys' thoughts on 2 sleepers, Keon Broxton and Hunter Renfroe?


I currently own Renfroe, but realized Broxton is available, and he put up some good numbers in limited time last season, 9 HR and 23 SB in just over 200 ABs, which over a full season could amount to a 20+HR/40+SB season which is intriguing.

Should I drop Renfroe for Broxton? I have a ton of speed on this team already with Trea Turner, Villar, and Billy Hamilton (who got dropped and people weren't paying attention so I snagged him for my bench).

My offense:

C: Schwarber
1B: Rizzo
2B: Villar
3B: Longo
SS: Story
OF: Turner
OF: Cutch
OF: Piscotty
UTIL: Baez
UTIL: Diaz
BN: Renfroe

I like Renfroe, just youtube some of the home runs he hit last year, they are bonkers. I'd say you're fine on speed with villar, hamilton, and turner

Just pulled off some more highway robbery in a different league. Traded Billy Hamilton and Javier Baez for Carlos Carrasco and Randal Grichuk.

I got Hamilton for free as a free agent a few days after the draft because someone dropped him and no one else picked him up.

You made out, but I really like Hamilton this year. He really came on in the 2nd half last year. 36 steals in 45 games, batting .293 over that time. He finished the year with an OBP of .321, which isn't bad. He's also improved every year.

If he could make even another small step to a .270/.335 hitter, he could dominate a steals category all by himself. In both Roto and H2H.
