My Portfolio

Having finished NL Tout Wars in NY, I'm done with all seven of my drafts (not counting a Scoresheet League I co-own with Jeff Erickson.) I like to double down on as many players as possible as diversification leads to lukewarm rooting interests in virtually half the league. Here are the results:

Players on Multiple Teams:

Five teams: Stanton

Four teams:: Harper, Morneau

Three teams: Sabathia, A. Ramirez, Jeter, Crawford, Rivera, Ackley, McCann, Profar, B.Hamilton, Mesoraco, Matusz, S. Baker

Two Teams: Tulowitzki, Castro, Lee, A, Jackson, Nathan, M. Moore, Wieters, Lawrie, Ichiro, Maybin, Pierre, Samardzija, Halladay, B.Anderson, D. Brown, McCarthy, Peavy, Broxton, Marmol, Saunders, Moreland, Tazawa, Arenado, Bauer, Britton, Niemann, Liriano, B. Lincoln

If two of Stanton, Harper and Morneau beat expectations, and 2-3 of the players I have on three teams overperform, it's likely to be a great year. Of course, the opposite is true, too.
