..when you consider I had to pick them on March 18th
You have a fine team. Except a couple players I'm not really familiar with, I think I considered everyone else on your team (BK was pretty quick toss due to my selection parameters, but seems like a good bargain pick).
Perhaps my toughest decision was whether to go with Chidwick & Bonomo, and I didn't in large part because I couldn't decide which of my top 4 to discard (would had to have been Ohel or Shack-Harris, or else further changes would have been necessary).
I was on the Urbanovich bandwagon last year and he bricked more than the Houston Rockets did in their recent game 7, so wasn't going down that road again, but not much to lose as long as you know he's going to play.
I figured one Mizrachi was enough (haha) and while I like Glantz and he may cash a lot, did not expect many deep runs from him.
My only real question is why did you go with Kid Poker? I don't mean him specifically, but it appears the teams are pretty evenly divided along this line: Those that spent ~300+ on a single player, and those that didn't. Last year you were in the "spread the wealth" camp and finished top ~25%(?), so just wondered why you changed strategies this year?
I guess I look at it as there is 750 excess to spend (1500 - [10 x 75 min.]).
A player like DNegs at 462 is 387 over min., or over half of your excess.
It just seems like one is depending quite a lot on one player.
