I just wanted to thank the guys who put in the effort for the excellent "30 Days" articles. They helped me look like a baseball genius in my league. I give them and this site the credit.
Because of the way people did keepers, I had a shot at exactly 1 SP in the top-20 rated pitchers to start the year. By reading your articles, and focusing my draft around your "targeted" players, I was able to draft an excellent pitching staff that with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions well out-pitched their ADP and O-ranking. The offense had a decent draft as well, but the difference maker was pitching.
Thanks for all your hard work, your excellent advice, and to the knowledgeable commenters who also bring team-specific knowledge to this site as well. What's funny is reading comments like "nobody predicted this kind of performance from x" and me thinking... well, actually someone did.
I have made adjustments as the year progressed, but they got me off to a great start, and then you can evaluate pitching as the season unfolds and keep an eye on the WW.

You're welcome! If i were to write a mid season follow up though I have advised that you sell. Hopefully you have cut bait by now.
You know, it would be a lot of work, but a "month before the playoffs" review of the 30/30 would be an awesome feature. Hits, misses, where do we go from here sorta thing, recapping the original articles, maybe in the comments section if nothing else.
