It's going to very interesting to see what kind of pitching staffs people are going to put together with all these high-priced crappy seasons.  For my 3-man starting staff, I have Cooper's best season and one of Hudson's better seasons to go with Mathewson's 411 IP 1908 season (total 990 IPs).  I also have a usable 69-IP Marquard (1.08 whip) season for one of my relievers.  I'll piece together the rest of the bullpen using my teammate options (I already have a few options in place).  I will have approximately $8-9 million of wasted salary with Uhle, Hough, Stanton, Tanana, Grant, which I think will be on the low end, in terms of wasted salary dollars on pitching.  Although I imagine to avoid wasting salary, some folks will simply slot a mediocre $6-7 season of these guys into the starting rotation.

There are still people out there that are going to have to eat $5-7 million each on crappy seasons of Cooper, Hudson, Uhle, etc.  Well, they won't eat it, necessarily - they may just slot those guys into the rotation.

This has to be the earliest ever in a 16x16 draft where a player had 11 seasons drafted before round 7.  Congrats calhoop on your player nomination.  And good luck to dcmatcheck who's 15th round pick will be a $9.3 million albatross (or an $11.8 million crappy rotation SP?).  The upside is that dcmatcheck should get to draft first in just about every round.
