8 team H2H, is this team a contender?

[Scrooge McDuck]

8 team head to head league, 6x6 scoring (standard 5x5 plus OPS and K/BB).

I have quite a few good hitters but no speed... should I just forget about steals or try to make some trades? My SPs are solid, it seems, but what about the closers? I'm a little concerned with Mota and Kolb going into new situations.

Oh, and I picked Webb accidentally when the timer ran out... I plan on dropping him. Anyway, let me know your thoughts.

Okay... anything I can do to fix it, then?

I love your pitching, but you will come in last in the SB category.

Haha, yeah... I figured that out about halfway through the draft. Should I just try to get away with punting steals (might be easier in a H2H league) or trade for more speed? If so, who do you think are good people to trade?

All teams in tiny eight team leagues are contenders. Winners are determined by luck and injuries.

[jumega]

should be okay....yeah the SB category is the only massive hole

[mrider]

The SB thing is what I was thinking to

[Rapps5]

try to pick up some sbs from free agency to fill the whole...maybe someone that will atleast put a dent in the category for you. I'm not sure who's available but there must be atleast a few 25+ sb guys in FA
