[USML Announce] USML - Early Season Low-Rent MVPs

[Mark Blocker]

League:

  I know its only May 1, and obviously things can change a lot, but I took
a look at players who obtained in the low-money phase of the auction (1)
after the first 100 picks and (2) for $3 or less. Here are my top 5, and
apologies if I have left out some other worthy candidates:

1.  Jorge Polanco ($1) - Lubeasts:  9-25-1 .384. Thus far one of the best
hitters in the league!
2.  Ben Rice ($2) - Brats:  8-13-2 .266.  How did we all overlook this guy?
3.  Aroldis Chapman ($3) -- Buddha:  11 innings, 17 Ks, 4.5 Sv/H, and great
ERA/Ratio.  See comment on Ben Rice.
4.  Kyle Manzardo ($1):  8-19-0 .220. Low BA, so below Polanco and Rice,
but the power is real so far and he is hitting clean-up.
5.  Luke Weaver ($1) - Brats:  The new closer on a team that will generate
lots of saves and the former closer seems out of sorts. Smart buy!

Comments of course welcome.
