Gieb Ratings! WHIR :-b

[Fade2White12]

12 Team H2H 6x6 league here at the Cafe. Additional categories are OPS and Losses. I picked 8th.

*Some disclaimers*
--I traded my 6th & 9th round picks for additional 7th and 8th rounders. With them I grabbed Joe Mauer and Nick Swisher, while the person I traded with took Ian Kinsler and Alex Gordon.
--I realize I have virtually 0 saves, and that was more or less by choice. Closers were flying off the board far too early so I didn't want to take a hit in value. With it being 6x6 and Losses the extra pitching category, as well as it being H2H, i think I'll be ok punting Svs for now while using a MR strategy.
--Yes, I do have both Sheets and Harden

I'd never punt a category, even with the extra one...if you need to go the MR route, Betancourt is excellent as a guy who might slide into that role, but it also might be a good idea to see who you could get inexpensively: Wilson, Broxton, T. Pena, maybe even Soria?
