-As it stands, I enjoy the top of Tom’s team and his first two OF’ers might just get him to the zenith of Rockem themselves. No joke, Acuna and Yordan would be my picks for MVP to start the season. Galbowski could have never dreamed Yordan would have come abck to him…Rockem is un-mockable. He may not need much else when it comes to offense if both are healthy, but I also think Smith is positioned at cleanup in that Dodgers lineup, to dominate. Outside of those three, his offense does have some questions, do all of his baby Reds take that next step forward? Is Tim Anderson still in the league? Can Anthony Rizzo see straight? But I think the top heavy squad will be fine on O.

-In the pen I could mention his three strong closers (tied with Bull for best collection of RP's), his boucning boy ZG's consistency and Sale the lottery ticket, but it really all comes down to Yamamoto. If he is the stud we are led to believe he will be, Tom will be living it up come the end of the season because Gallen would be a mega 1a. In a wide open year maybe Tom breaks the curse if you believe in the power of Japan and I am currently watching both Tokyo Vice and Shogun so…

-Commish’s Take: I always like the symmetry when East Coast and West Coast Don’s draft like Yin and Yang.

+) One pick you were stoked about, One you should have changed?
+Not really one that I was stoked about or one that I would change? I kinda like my team but I think my draft was weird. I guess maybe I could have done something other than Castillo 3rd round.
+) Whose team are you most impressed with?
+I mean, BK? Play the favorite.
+) Who is the "nicest" member of Rockem Sockem? Birdie.
+) What percentage of winning Rockem is drafting and what percentage is managing?
+I think it’s 30% draft, 30% managing and 40% how the cookie crumbles.
+) Anything to say to your competitors?

 This is the one bottom drafter that I think has a shot, but one or multiple of his young stud gambles needs to cash in for big bull. That sounds like g*y cowboy p*rn:

 Anyways. Solid bats with Harper and Jose at the first SNAAAAKE! And adding the upside of Elly with Michael Harris could be mega. Is Wyatt Legit? We shall see, but he may need to be with only Santander and Kerry Carpenter in the OF to help him out. Better is Bull MI trifecta of Gelof Volpe and Holliday, but the true harbinger of Bull’s fate lies on the other side of the stat line.
