I swooned mightily and finished 27th, presuming they don't let the hacker who put James Shields at every position win...
My worst picks were Yuli Gurriel, Matt Joyce, and surprisingly Jose Reyes, whose horrendous first 2 weeks lured me into picking him.

27th out of, what, a few hundred (?) ain't bad!

A shit ton of players earned 20+ points last night, but not me. So I checked the box scores and learned that Texas is still mysteriously letting Matt Moore pitch, and he gave up 6 ER in 1.2 IP.

Elvis Andrus has to be on some sort of leaderboard for this season's fall from grace?

he's just at the low end of mediocre? True Avg has slipped to .241, which is weak but not awful.

It's good for the contest... but I have no real chance of winning, bcz most of the leaders have some of the key players I do (eg, Alcides Escobar, Tim Beckham).
What pisses me off is they always close the rosters 2 weeks into the season, and some smartass always picks his roster as the ten players leading at their positions through 10-12 games. The guy who did that this year is still running 2nd! Chris Davis sucked through mid-April, and guess what?

it's back, and the strategy is interesting this season bcz
1) some guys like HM perennial Alcides Escobar are finally gone
2) are the Orioles really gonna let Chris Davis repeat last year?

I finished 5th out of 125 players, best showing ever. If I'd just had the brains to pick Jarrod Dyson in RF instead of Kole motherfuckin' Calhoun, I'd have won going away.
All Stars:
Jeff Mathis C Chris Davis 1B Chris Owings 2B Travis Shaw 3B Nicky Lopez SS Curtis Granderson LF Lewis Brinson CF Jarrod Dyson RF Antonio Senzatela P Jordan Zimmermann P

Like everyone in the top 10, I've been rewarded with a year of BP Premium. Unexpected! I don't read the rules much.

One of my fantasy teams that autodrafted an incredible amount of busts probably would have done pretty well in HM:
Bellinger, Rendon, Flaherty, Mondesi, Torres, Laureano, Kela, Yates, Alfaro, Villar, Carlos Santana, JD Davis, etc.
