How about a SP at the END of the 1st round IF....

In my opinion this strategy would work well too. You take two big mashers 10 and 11 and then on the way back guys like hudson and zambrano. what's wrong with that top 2? As posters have said before that big #1 guy can get hurt and all of a sudden your reliance on him hinders your team. Besides I think Hudson absolutely dominates this year, but maybe thats just me. Also the guy who said build a 3 headed monster works as well. Of course you want to use your strategy from last year but having won before you know you can go another way, get one fleecing on a trade and win the league again.
