Agree with you Perry, but he won't be at 0.7 on the ERA and WHIP :mrgreen:

Congrats Mark on setting the pace in the Main Event!

Curious to hear about your pickups for the first two weeks? What moves have you made so far? I am assuming you have grabbed a couple arms. Nice call on Samadizja BTW (i know i spelled that wrong but I am too lazy to check it right now).

I picked up Rodney and dropped Salas in week 1 - pretty easy drop - think it was $177 for Rodney.

No Week 2 moves - I typically don't rush to drop the guys I drafted. Although I'm happy with the start of my outfield, still want to keep the depth there and don't give up on guys like Raburn after a very slow start. 2-3 more weeks of struggling, different story.

With the 2nd half started and headed toward the dog days of summer, I figured I would give an update on my Main Event team. It's been a personally rough (non-baseball) summer to date, so sorry I didn't update this thread more often.

As of today, I'm in 2nd place with 110 pts, 11 pts behind 1st and 8 pts ahead of 3rd. My hitting has replaced my pitching as my strength, primarily due to McCutchen carrying the team for the last month and the poor years from Haren and Kennedy to date. Jim Johnson's 1st horrible outing yesterday in mop up work is the way my staff has been going lately. Hopefully I can turn around the pitching, maintain the hitting, and have a good chance to compete towards a money finish/title in September. I'll throw my lineup and (bench) at this time:

C Montero, Thole (Lucroy)
1b - Pujols
2b - JWeeks, KJohnson
SS - Jeter
3b - Beltre
OF - McCutchen, Willingham, Span, Jay, CWells, SSmith (Niewenhuis, DavMurphy)

P - JWeaver, Hellickson, EJackson, Vogelsong, LHarrell, Westbrook (Samardzija, IKennedy, Haren, FMorales)
RP - Rodney, Clippard, Jimmy J

I emailed Ryan in regards to his efforts to the 12 team subscriber league and congrats on some of his NFBC finishes , so thought since this team was doing well early, I would note my final finish

2nd place in league, 36th overall

The last two years, it feels like everything I do in September goes wrong - luckily I got some solid pitching yesterday to hold onto 2nd place, not bad for 1st year in Main Event. I can't even imagine with some of the close races in the overalls and the premium leagues the roller coaster of emotions with many more thousands of dollars on the line.

Hope everyone finished their seasons strong and sure will talk some baseball on these boards during the offseason.

FWIW, 4 of the top 5 finishers in the NFBC Classic are subscribers.
