I would have guessed Silver King going 2nd or 3rd at the latest.......An SP that impacts the 81 games he pitches in, and the other games he helps by notusing the bullpen in his starts. Seeing him 5th, and the 2nd SP picked just shocked me. Just my opinion tho'
I played in one $255 mill cap season. In that league, it really seemed that the deadball pitcers all got HAMMERED for the most part and most underperformed. Pedro was by FAR the best SP in that league. In fact, in that experience, it seemed the more recent studs with very low WHIPs and high K rates performed much better than the deadball guys with low K rates.
That's why I drafted four current guys in Greinke, King Felix, Verlander and Scherzer. I'm hoping my league history repeats itself. Still, I have to choose a poor HR park because of the HR rates of those four, compared to the deadball guys
