    In light of Giolito most likely being lost for the season, may I suggest that these non yahoo league players be stricken from their respective teams. They’re all current or former Angels so it seems like the right thing to do. Thanks in advance.

    I think I always spaced out on Kirby Yates as well... even in his big save season with the Padres, I feel like BC added him off free agency. I most likely had him on my draft list the following season when he got injured again 

    That is correct. I did indeed add him as a FA after once again forgetting about him during the draft.

    Well, this squad won't have any of you shaking in your boots. The combination of having the worst farm system and Arte's reluctance to sign any top tier free agents, have decimated my once competitive lineup. Giolito's injury is a kick in the nuts to a team that is already without Shohei on the hill. Not getting Drury hurt me the most, as I'm thin at 2B. The only other one that hurt was Lorenzen. Had him slotted for my 5th round pick, but ZT beat me to the punch 2 picks ahead of me. All and all, you guys will be glad when you see the Black Trouser Trouts as your opponent for any given week. Oh yeah, I also totally forgot about Kirby Yates as I do every year. Except the year I remembered to draft him in 2021. 🤣 On January 20, 2021, Yates signed a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. On March 22, 2021, Yates was diagnosed with a flexor strain and it was later announced that he would likely undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his 2021 season. On March 24, 2021, Yates underwent the procedure.

    I mostly waited on that pick because the angels were among the rumored teams for Snell… could have picked him sooner but with my luck as soon as I made the pick there would have been an announcement he signed in LA 😂 

    🤣🤣🤣

    Those rumors are a joke. Arte has no intentions of putting any more money into the team.

    League started the very first year with 16.  Wasn't sustainable.  14 went well for a long time.  While it'd be great, I do think a lot of us are in different points in our lives and getting to and sustaining 14 might be tough year to year.

    My history shows the following:

    2004 - 20 teams

    2005 - 2007 - 18 teams

    2008 - 2013 - 16 teams (I was absent for a few of these years)

    2014 - 14 teams

    2015 - 16 teams

    2016 on looks like mostly 14 teams
