[Southpaw19]

Was Albies not eligible as a WC?

He's Listed Here

So then, wouldn't he be the best possible WC pick?

I know it may not make the most sense, but when I listed out "best possible team", the wild card, is if you had chosen all the players in groups A-D, AND had the best Wild Card of those players selected.

[Southpaw19]

Wow... Robinson Cano is suspended for 80 games, and no one has him on their team. No need to panic! Everything is fine!

[SouthSideRyan]

So it'll be switched when everyone changes to Albies at the break.

[Andy]

Fantastic, I'll go ahead and burn my 2nd transaction on one lineup spot because of the Pollock injury

Drop Pollock, add Matt Chapman

[Sammy Sofa]

Drop Bradley, add Betts.

Cespedes will probably turn out to have a wicked case of bonitis in his hip, but man, Bradley SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS so far this season.

Super glad I used Trade #1 last week to GET Pollock. I’ve got this whole HR Derby thing figured out.

[Duke Silver]

Kept Cabrera on my roster even though he's butt and has been injured for two weeks. Planned it perfectly by being lazy and waiting until Pollock coincidentally got hurt to make a move.

[Cubswin11]

Drop Pollock
Add Lorenzo Cain (don’t be afraid to have a similar fate as Pollock)

[sweetpeteman]

Drop Pollock, add Belt
