While you are waiting on the other league, walk me through your strategy this season. Unreal offense, but no K/9 or relievers. Thinking outside the box, or just not done making moves?

I have Soria, Zych, and Smoker at RP

But it's a multifaceted approach that actually goes back to last season once I mailed it in.

I tried RP heavy before, didnt work, Ive found SPs are way more important. Ive found some decent RPs, they will be out there, so I used the ones I had as sweeteners in deals. I got em for free, I'll get a few again. Just last year I owned at one point in time or another: Brach, Colome (traded), Dull, Butcher (traded), Bedrosian (traded), Kintzler, Siegrist, Blanton. They turn over every year, are volatile, and I have a RP watchlist already 25 deep this year. So I say, why not get value at harder to find spots for them

which leads me to loading up on SP. Keep in mind a few playoff teams hovered around 8k per 9 last season. Dude won it all with an 8.4.

So lets look at this.

Garrett Richards is a 8 k/9 guy, pitch count but expect K numbers
Keuchel 8+ his Cy year, expecting a rebound
Shoemaker sat at 8 last year and flirted w 9 during his hot streak
Aaron Sanchez sat at 7.5 w/ room to grow
Tyler Anderson was 7.8
Severino, Wheeler, Bradley, while volatile, are above 8 kinda guys
Giolito was a 10 guy in the MiLB
Matt Boyd flirted w 8, he's a 9 k/9 guy in MiLB

They all wont be good of course, but you get the point, i expect the starters to sit above 8 for the year.

I have Zych who is a near 13 per 9 guy in his short MLB career and should see hlds, Smoker who brings flame from the left side could run into holds and will be a over 10 k guy, then Soria who will run into some holds and not kill the K


TLDR:
let the offense eat
out of 10 SPs, let 5 be relevant.
Add RPs as needed
Possibly use prospects to add RP

Worst case, punt sv/hld. Real worst case, tap into offense for help.

How long will it take you to be competitive again?

a lot of people giving out strategy tonight, if he is taking notes, he can make a run in 2019

Papz, I got a message for you:

I'd want a better pitcher(and still young) with Freeman, I don't see that person on your roster. Someone will have to lose a trade to get Kris Bryant.
