Maybe it’s just me, but I assume that Carter Capps went for $8 because everyone noticed that Tom Wilhelmsen just might not be the second coming of Mariano. And if there is a safer proposition than your pronouncement that $10 beans have no value, it has to be that closers are the least dependable commodity in fantasy baseball. If I were building for next year, I’d definitely look somewhere other than a closer to build upon. But that’s just me. Well…..apparently you too since you didn’t go in that direction.
