The only two common players we had this year was Quintana and Garcia. Not exactly Dan Haren/ Albert Pujols caliber.

1. Sonny Gray - Bbascom 2. Jack Flaherty - ZT 3. Marcell Ozuna - Burt 6. Andrew Kittredge - WW 6. Jose Quintana - Black Clouds 6. Adolis Garcia - Mora 7. Carson Kelly - Mora 7. Tyler O’Neil - Mookz 8. Harrison Bader - dcb 9. Lane Thomas - CMH 10. Ryne Stanek - dcb 11. Erick Fedde - Burt 11. Luis Garcia - Black Clouds 11. Richie Palacios - WW 12. Jordan Montgomery - Mora 15 total players. It is not a good sign when you only have 3 players sniped in the first 6 rounds. The lack of talent available to me was really telling. Only 9 other teams grabbed one of my players. They were pretty evenly disbursed with Mora grabbing 3 followed by 4 teams with 2 and 4 teams with 1.

I am out of the country all next week with very limited access. If we could push it back to the week of the 16th that would be great for me.

C. Herrera (Pages, Crooks) 1B. Contreres (Burleson, Goldschmidt) 2B. Donovan (Wetherholt, Edman, Gorman, Saggssee) SS. Wynn, (Edman, Donovan, Wetherholt, Saggasse). 3B. Arenado, (Gorman, Saggasse, Edman) OF: Arozarena, Burleseon, Nootbar (Scott II, Edman, Donavon, Walker,Carlson) SP - Alcantara, (Liberatore, May, Oviedo, McGreevy, Fitts, Matz, Gomber, Dobbins) RP. Helsley, Romero, Weaver, Maton, Hicks, Talk about a list of has-beens or never-was talent. That is the 2026 lame birds in a nutshell. The only player I have who is top 10 at their position is Herrera and he is 10th. Draft: The first time in a long while I had a top 3 pick to only realize your options weren’t top 10 talent. Had a choice between Arozarena and Sonny Gray at three and went with the guy who could help me every day vs. the pitcher who would help every 5 days. Might have been a mistake but I like the fact Seattle added a bunch of talent and Randy will be hitting 5th in that lineup. Should help his RBI totals. I knew once I picked I would lose out on my top 2 pitching options in Gray and Flaherty. Decided to grab Willson Contreres in the 2nd to add to my every day lineup that is lacking power/RBI stats. Made a decision to take best available over a position and ended up with what I hope is a pretty solid reliever corp on Helsley, Maton, Weaver, Hicks. My second priority was to secure the Cardinals starting 5 in the rotation. I was able to accomplish that by grabbing May and Fitts from Bascom. I might have reached for both but having 5 surefire starters for your own team is a positive. Adding Oviedo and potentially Matz could give me some depth to SP. exclusives: I was loaded with a bunch of players eligible all over the field. Burleson, Edman, Donovan, Gorman, and Wetherholt gives me options all across the IF and OF. I have a few other exclusives like Thomas Saggasse that can also play every position for depth as well. overall: I need a lot of things to go right to even sniff a top 10 season. Wetherholt needs to play like a rookie of the year candidate. Arozarena and Donovan need to both light it up for Seattle. I also need some major steps taken forward by Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker in the power department to help offset a bunch of light hitters on my roster. Pitching wise o need Alcantara to return to Cy Young form and have Liberatore be the ace the Cardinals expect him to be. I am very excited about Oviedo in Boston. His stuff has always been filthy. Add in a healthy year from May and some solid starts by second year starters Fitts and McGreevy and I might hold my own. prediction : 12th.

13.03 - Hunter Dobbins, P, STL 14.10 - Paul Goldschmidt, 1B, NYY

12.10 - Dylan Carlson, OF, CHC

11.03 - Austin Gomber, P, TEX

10.10 - Steven Matz, P, TAM

8.10.- Jordan Hicks, P, CWS

9.03 - Richard Fitts, P, STL

I was hoping to get 1 of Kitteridge, Maton, or Weaver. Getting both Maton and Weaver was a pleasant surprise. Both should have a lot of opportunities for holds and K’s with the occasional save for the Cubs and Mets

7.03 - Luke Weaver, P, NYM

6.10 - Phil Maton, P, CHC

Why hop on a plane? Just sit down like everyone else so the drink cart can go down the aisle.

4.10 - Dustin May, P, STL
