    There's only one guy there without a question mark, but Nola, Berrios and Taillon all have great upside. I'm not much on Walker and I worry about Bundy's health, but I assume he didn't cost you much, so he's solid for a sixth guy.

    Yeah, once I had Kershaw I took a few chances on upside over guys like Quintana who have higher floors but lower ceilings. I feel more confident I can mix/match pitching better than offense if need be.

    10-teamer that will have limited keepers starting next year. Full redraft this year.

    Looks good- like others said, lots of upside. Would really depend on what the rest of the team looked like / which draft resources you spent on these SPs.

    That's another good point. If you have great starting pitching, but you built it by neglecting other positions, that's not going to get you very far.

    That group of six starters is fine for a 10-team league. You have risky pitchers in there, but you should be able to find viable fill-ins on the wire if any of those guys fail.

    That's the nice thing about pitching. If your staff sucks, you can piece it together by playing matchups week-to-week pretty effectively.

    Depends on the size of your league. In a 10-team league, you can do that fairly easily. In a 15-team league, it's probably not going to work.

    Fair. I've never done bigger than a 12-teamer, so it generally works OK.

    Meh. If the league ducks the real competition, such accomplishments don't mean much. :)

    I've never done one with 15 teams before, either, but I've got one this year. My pitching is fine, but my offense is a disaster. (Mostly because I took over a team that was a disaster, then lost Turner until at least early May.)
