Here is a team I drafted in a 15-team league in late March. It’s a standard 5×5 roto draft with 30 rounds and preseason FAAB budget of $1,000. Through 7.5 weeks of the season, this team is 14th place among 15 teams and only has $274 left from its FAAB budget.

P: Bailey Ober (MIN) – FAAB pickup
P: Brandon Pfaadt (ARI)
P: Adam Wainwright (STL) – FAAB pickup

P: Brusdar Graterol (LAD) – FAAB pickup
B: Anthony Rendon (LAA)

B: Chase Silseth (LAA) – FAAB pickup
B: Clarke Schmidt (NYY) – FAAB pickup
B: Chris Martin (BOS) – FAAB pickup
One may look at this team and wonder why it is slumming it so hard. Well, the first thing that may stick out is the lack of saves and quality relief pitchers who get save opportunities. Raisel Iglesias just recently returned, missing the first six weeks of the season and he’s already been hammered a couple of times with his pitch velocity down across the board. A healthy Iglesias is key otherwise this team may as well punt saves. Brusdar Graterol hardly gets save opportunities with Evan Phillips the lead for the Dodgers. Chris Martin was a pickup from this past weekend, attempting to capitalize on the recent struggles of Boston’s closer Kenley Jansen.
My team ERA ranks 13th of 15, and the WHIP is 12th. So much hinges on the return of Jacob deGrom, who is still a few weeks away. The core of Yu Darvish, Jesús Luzardo and Freddy Peralta have been faring well and the recent success of Twins’ second-year man Bailey Ober has certainly helped. Braves’ Bryce Elder has been quite fortunate this season, pitching to a 1.94 ERA in eight starts yet has a 3.75 xFIP and 4.57 xERA. There is some ratio correction in his future. Rookie Brandon Pfaadt bounced back nicely in his third career start and hopefully that’s a sign of good things to come. Strikeouts are this team’s best category so far (fourth of 15).
The hitting has been negatively impacted by José Abreu. No player in baseball drove in more runs between 2019 and 2021, yet he’s been abysmal so far this season. Not only has he not hit a home run in 2023, but Abreu only hit one homer in the second half last season. I’ll have to figure something out with him but am not quite ready to cut (perhaps just bench).
The rest of the hitters look decent though. Bo Bichette is among MLB batting average leaders, Luis Robert Jr. seems to hit a home run every day, Anthony Rizzo has been quite the value on his 13th-round ADP while Josh Lowe and James Outman are two of fantasy’s best late-round surprises. I’m hoping Byron Buxton can stay healthy and start to hit some bombs himself. This offense is middle of the pack in most offensive categories except for stolen bases where it’s second to last. That’s the category I’ll continue to be shopping for in Sunday FAAB.
This is the perfect example of a team to go to battle with on Bettle against another 15-teamer in the middle of their standings. I wouldn’t want to compete with this roster against a top team but do believe it’s one that can get out of the cellar and finish respectably in the standings.
