"Ben stacked the roster in 2013 to win the WS and built a great farm all on his own. It was ownership that didn't re-sign Lester, traded Lackey, signed Panda, signed Hanley, moved Xander to 3b for Drew, signed Rusney and extended Porcello."
I'm not too concerned about the hitting at the moment. There are always a few guys that unexpectedly have good seasons or are called up from the minors. Last year, I had a lot of guys like Adam Jones who struggled at the start of the season and I probably kept them on my roster too long. I'll probably burn through more hitters this year.
The key for fantasy baseball is just staying on top of your roster for the whole year. I get most of my talent infusion through FA's rather than trades.

Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley ran down a lot of balls in the outfield last season.
Betts made 17 non-routine plays out of 41 chances (41.5%) in 2017 — 10th best in MLB; League Avg: 22.3%.
Bradley made 11 non-routine plays out of 28 chances (39.3%) in 2017 — 12th best in MLB.
I'd rather have my staff:
Sale
Kluber
Ohtani
Paxton
Hendricks
Luis Castillo
Chase Anderson
Morton
I hope Bumgarner doesn't get in any off-roading accidents this year the way he did when I had him last year.
It was like a Maury Povich show. Sometimes you are the father, but sometimes you are NOT the father and you get to run around and act self righteous and do a little dance on tv.
Such a cliff that the Tigers were in the ALCS 7 years after! OMG!
Marlins were a mandated ownership cliff so they could sell the team.
You’re smarter than this.

Yoan is a s***** fielding 2b who strikes out 30% of the time.
This was a very good deal for the Sox.
Yup, the Marlins was a tank job due to DD. It had nothing to do with the Marlins ownership.
Also, ownership played no role in the Tigers failings (cough cough Prince Fielder contract).
