Morrow in the 15th round was looking to be absolute robbery until his injury. Same for McCarthy in the 22nd.
Craig has been my biggest impact FA bat. He was undrafted but I immediately added him to my DL as soon as he became eligible. He has absolutely crushed when hes played.
Sal Perez has also been a nice boost after dealing with 2 1/2 months of worthless Jesus Montero.
Encarnacion in the 18th round Rios in the 16th round Laroche off WW Nathan in the 15th round as the 27th closer drafted RA Dickey in the 26th round Adam Jones in the 7th Carlos Beltran in the 11th
my team is loaded with players I stole, or made deals for
I feel that 2012, with all the injuries and rookies, has been particularly bountiful for these kind of players.
In my 12-team H2H points league (3 keepers): - Trout, Kipnis, Austin Jackson, and Willingham were all undrafted - Vogelson and Dickey went in the last round (19) - Tumbo and Peavy went in Round 17 - Chris Sale went in Round 15
Trumbo and Gio as late round picks have definitely made me look smart. Grabbing Crawford and stashing him on the DL has definitely worked out pretty well so far. Trout, Plouffe, Rizzo, and LaRoche have been great off the wire.
