Ur welcome

Get Jeff Samardzija!

Capable of shutting down the Stacked teams

2.02 ERA in 227.1 Innings with me. 206 K's, 184 Hits allowed.

I've shut down so many stacked teams with Jeff is crazy.

This another aspect about DD I like. You are free to experiment with any type of team you wish. I created a team of lesser used Legends with Ozzie Smith, and Killebrew. I'm going to add Brooks Robinson because of his bunt defense. It's easy to complete these collections with a budget team.

I have Eric Young Jr. in LF and he's batting close to .300 with 18 SBs. E. Young has never attempted a bunt, BTW.

Logan Morrison. Plays like a guy who hits .320 with 25 HRs for me. The big names are obviously better (I hit .360 with Votto and .330 with Clark, who paces about 60 HRs for me), but I like that nobody else uses him and he's plenty good enough for me to win.

I have more locked in my vault.

Keep a close eye on Billy Burns. Kid may be turning the corner. Switch hitting speedster in CF.

Card is 50 stubs. I bought 5 of them as a lotto ticket investment. I think he has high silver potential maybe more.

Salvador Perez is god. 4 HR, 16 RBI, .312 avg (.302 vs righties!), 19 strikeouts in 125 at bats. he's probably my most consistent hitter. I just played a game where he jacked a 3 run no doubter against Bumgarner. Amazing player, definitely recommend him

another player i've had success with is Jose Iglesias. I've been looking for a SS with good defense to hit lead off for me, I found my guy. only 38 at bats so it's a small sample size but he has 1 HR, 5 RBIs, batting .342 with only 3 strikeouts.

my only real issue now is 2B. I picked up Ian Kinsler, he hasn't been very good. i'll get good contact but he just lines it right to an outfielder. I think I might go back to Howie Kendrick who was killing it for me, I just worry about his defense.
