Any advice on RP valuation in a Saves+Hold league. NL only 11 teams. With the standard 9 pitchers should I just load up on starting pitchers in the auction and then pick up 3 or 4 reserve middle relief guys and hope 1 or 2 stick? Or is it worth paying for the elite setup guys?

Great question. I'll put this one in the newsletter, but the general answer is saves and holds means a lot more supply of scoring relievers, so they should have lower prices. But you'll have more competition for the best guys unless others don't know how to do the values. Is your league 5x5? Thanks for writing.

The Baseball America guys, while doing a deep dive on the Brewers prospects last week said that Quero's arm had not even returned to Major League average in the two seasons since his surgery. If his arm returns even to Major League Average (and not the 70 grade arm he had before the injury) they felt like he'd be a solid MLB Catcher. If his arm doesn't return, then there's a lot of pressure on his bat. Here's hoping this season's Quero returns to his pre-injury health.

Thanks for the Bill Hands info and info on his son and the shrine. That's pretty cool and a cool thing to share 🙏🏼

Thanks for this. I hadn't heard that.
