My money league had it's draft tonight - 6x6 (OPS, Holds) redraft mixed league auction, $260 cap, 13 hitting spots, 9 pitching spots, plus 3 bench spots (generally used to rotate in starting pitchers). The bidding got a little carried away early on, and I managed to keep my cool, but eventually went on an offensive spending spree.
c - Russell Martin 16
1b - Prince Fielder 30
2b - Brandon Phillips 23

I was trying somewhat of a LIMA plan that got submarined by everyone paying for closers, and me getting stuck trying to bid up Martin. Still, with a great mix of setup men, I project to win holds and dominate on offense.
Should I consider punting saves (I project to last)? Or try to trade a middle man for a closer or 5th starter?
All input appreciated!
