Risky move

[Zerkly]

I benched my whole team today.

I'm in a 14 team 5X5 league, currently in 2nd place, 2 games out.

Going into today I was up 10-0 and really didn't think the team I was playing today could catch me in any catagory.

I'm not braggin', just wanted to know if anyone else used this stratagy?

I've benched pitching....but never a whole team......lol. Let us know how you did.

I've benched all my pitchers at the end of the week with a big league, but never my hitters.

So far it has worked. Unless Shawn Green And Scott Rolen go 7 for 9 with 8 HR's and 8 RBI's tonight, I will end up 10-0.

Lol. I've never benched a hitter without putting in a backup. Interesting strategy.

Great work. I've done the same thing and it worked for me as well. I guess you had large leads in all catagories to have the balls to do that

I've benched entire pitching staff's, but never a whole team. Although I have pulled 3-4 guys out after most of my opponents guys were done and the only thing I could really lose was Avg. if my guys went 0-fer. Not a bad idea, might as well minimize risk.

So, what happened???

I know that Green and Rolen weren't THAT productive tonite, but did anything else happen that you didn't anticipate?
