Some of the hitters that will be on the block include Trout, Miggy, Freeman, Marte, E5, Abreu, Stanton, Cano, Cespedes, Kinsler, Bham, Upton, Posey, Bats, Kipnis, Carpenter, JBJ. Should I just completely punt pitching and spend around $150 to get trout/Freeman/Carp? I feel like I can always trade for pitching and hate all of the tier 2 aces and just draft a bunch of high upside $1-5 guys after spending on the bats. Good idea or no?
I'd target Price, Lester and CMart out of that group myself. All three of those guys should grind out QS. With your bats I'd be leaning a little bit towards floor so Price/Lester would be my first guys if I can.
As for general strategy - just my outside view is you got 7/13 hitter spots filled with consensus top 3-4 round guys including three first round players. You don't look to really be deficient in any offensive category.
I'd pay for some pitching. I know the general strategy is get your hitters and wait for pitching - you've already got the hitting. Unless you've got a couple other juggernaut teams you're trying to catch up to, you seem to be in really solid shape. My worry would be punting pitching, not really hitting on any upside guys and being in a situation where the other 11 guys in the league all know you need pitching and you can't make a good deal. Meanwhile you continue to pile up a bunch of innings with bad ratios.
