I'll bore you with the details...

I'm 15th out of 16(15-43-2) 5x5 cats. My team is much better on paper but I'm not competitive in K's and my only closers were Yimi Garcia and McGee who doesn't close anymore coming off the DL. Beyond Scherzer and Wacha my pitching is pretty mediocre.

I screwed up my auction with $53 not spent(that's miggy for the most part with some change left over).

I was thinking about improving areas with the pieces I had(Scherzer, Bautista, Braun) after the trade for McHugh but I just pulled another deal yesterday that gutted me for this year but gives my some pieces to build for next year and beyond.

I received Yelich $7 2016, DJ Petersen(3b prospect seattle), Wisler(P prospect Braves) and a #1 and #2 for minors draft. I gave up Scherzer $39 and Braun $34.

I'm already very young though with
Springer, Wong, Wacha, Odor(bleh), then Syndegaard(waiting in the wings for next year).

Ouch. That's all you got back? You should have gotten back much more than that.

You were screwed from the start. How did this even happen?

Yeah... there's a reason I didn't play Votto this year.

There is context to the trade... the only thing ouchy is that I'm looking ahead to 2016 before 6/1.
