Looking back at it, I'm wondering if maybe we shouldn't have picked up Zimmerman instead of Thames. In the points leagues Thames is 1650K and Zimmerman is 1390K. Zimmerman is hitting .410 now with 11 HRs. I realize he isn't going to continue doing that, but he's 32, has a solid career of hitting around .280 with 20+ HRs and is hitting in a great lineup. Even after his hot start, Thames remains much more of an unknown.
I'm also beginning to wish that I had not taken Correa & Springer.....especially Correa. I now think that either Turner or Lindor might have been a better choice. Correa hasn't done squat so far this year...and he's pretty expensive at 2390K. And Braun at 2420K might have been a much better pick than Springer at 2690K.
As I said, I think I made some great picks with my pitchers, but I really screwed up with several of my hitters.
And I've got one more SP pick that I think might end up in the cheap group of good producers like Paxton (in particular), Taillon & McCullers: Dylan Bundy. He is also very cheap (1310K) and has had all 5 quality starts so far this year. I think he was the overall #1 pick in the draft a few years ago. If he wasn't #1 he was in the top 3 or 4, anyway. Baltimore has brought him along slowly, but he has continued to elevate his game in the last couple of years and now he is solidly in the rotation. I made about my only pitching mistake in my initial roaster when I took Kevin Gausman (1790k) as my guy from the Orioles. He seemed to be the guy who would lead that rotation, but he has been absolutely awful.....giving up 5+ runs in each of his last three starts with an ERA around 7 and a WHIP around 2.
I'm dropping him for Bundy, who gets two starts next week. That also gives me an extra 480K to improve my hitting....where I still have 4 or 5 guys that I think were mistakes: Bird, Broxton, Santana, Bregman, etc.
