ATLANTIC CITY SHARKS 434
TEAM TIMOSWAN 359
Lineup Moves; Off day Waiver-wire starters payed off huge with a +27 (thank-you Curtis Granderson) while the regulars played better than usual. Overall, the group posted a very satisfying 218 points.
Pitching Moves: Still a tick off with only six solid closers, the waiver wire picks were scary (5 starts of -5 or more) to spectacular this week (Mike Montgomery and his 51 point shutout - thank-you very much) and the group posted not horrible, but not super 220.
Conclusions: Both the lineup and the pitching staff still feel just a tick off. Considering adding another starter to the roster.

Week Eleven Recap (7-4): Turning the corner, line-up ready to roll
TEAM VIRGINIA 450
ATLANTIC CITY SHARKS 411
Lineup moves: Victor Martinez came off the DL last week and plugging him in alongside the rest of my waiver wire snags and the lineup looks like it just might be turning a corner. They posted a healthy 238 points. Can you say DOMINANT. baby.
The lineup now looks like this:
C Buster Posey - drafted #29
*1B Kendrys Morales - undrafted/FA pickup April 13th
2B Robbie Cano - drafted #12
3B Kyle Seager - drafted #52
*SS Brandon Crawford - undrafted/FA pickup May 21st
SS/2B Anthony Rendon - drafted #32
*1B/3B Maikel Franco - undrafted/FA pickup June 3rd
*OF Starling Marte - drafted #42/FA pickup April 20th
OF Mookie Betts - drafted #49
*OF Ben Zobrist - drafted #141/FA pickup May 14th
*OF Josh Reddick -undrafted/FA pickup April 29th
*OF Josh Harrison - drafted #154/FA pickup May 15th
*DH Victor Martinez -drafted #50th/FA pickup May 28th
Pitching Moves: Joakim Soria looks like he's about to loose his job and Jason Grilli hit the DL. The staff put up a sorry 173 with the waiver wire pickups being so-so (10-3) but the bullpen had a rough week and being down to five closers posted only 6 saves. Fixable for sure but annoying.
Conclusions; The roster is almost there. Lineup feels just about set (depending on how long Franco stays hot and whether Martinez hits this year), I just need another two solid-to-a-squidge above average closers.
