Lonnie Chisenhall, Kris Medlen and Matt LaPorta top the charts this week - for the first time in awhile, we didn't have a clear-cut closer to bid on, though Sergio Romo could get some saves if his injury Sunday doesn't persist and Santiago Casilla's injury does.

- I've got a ton of hitting question marks right now. Ramon Hernandez is on the DL, but I have Wilin Rosario. Rosario still strikes out a lot, but he also does a lot when he does put the ball in play. I'm hoping he takes over the starting duties and Hernandez gets Pipped, but I feel like I can't drop Hernandez just yet. Austin Jackson, Desmond Jennings, Alex Avila and Dustin Pedroia are all questionable right now, plus Bryan LaHair's bubble is bursting. I should get some of those players back this week, but choosing which to activate for the first four days will be a little tricky.
- Thus, Lombardozzi could come in handy. If Pedroia goes on the DL, it's a straight sub. Otherwise, he still gives me a lot of options elsewhere.
- I missed out on the pitchers, in small part because I wasn't quite sure to drop, though I eventually settled on Joe "Dead to Me" Blanton. But my bids were tame - lost out on Jerome Williams, Francisco Liriano, Garrett Richards and Sergio Romo.

- I was the second place bidder on Hutchison, but I'm angry that I missed out on Medlen and Eovaldi - somehow never picked up that they were available. It's one of the weird paradoxes in this game - this team needs more work, but I spent less time on it. FAIL.
- Speaking of FAIL, I had Derek Holland and Wand Rodriguez active this week. I've had Luke Hochevar active in this league on multiple occasions. Yeah, my pitching stinks.
