Did u draft any Pitcher within the first 8 Rounds???

[RotoRook]

It's an auction draft and even if it was a round by round, Bonderman easily qualifies.

How many teams?
How much did you pay for each player?

You know, the standard blurb.

===========================================

That said - if this is the standard format - 12 teams, good hitting and a lot to be desired in the pitching department.

Too many question marks in the pitching. I understand taking on some risk, but other than Bedard and Bonderman you really don't know what you are gonna get.

Lidge? Will he even have the closer job by the end of May?
Prior? On the DL AGAIN.
Patterson? Recovering form injury
Penny? Recovering from injury - already felling stiffness in throwing shoulder.
Greinke? Can he stand being in a clubhouse again around people?

Don't get me wrong - a lot of talent there - but equally as many question marks as talent.

Lastly, without knowing how much you spent on said players - it's really hard to determine whether any of them may even be movable in a trade - i,e, Prior, Penny, Lidge, etc. or whether they were "bargains".

Need more info if you want more reliable suggestions/comments.
