How am I supposed to explain this one?

What a debacle. Just a masterclass in masochism. Instead of gathering one night for an orderly, by-the-numbers salary cap draft (or what we used to call an auction), we settled into our seats, cracked our knuckles and murdered each other with like-mindedness.

Over what, you ask? Well, what do you think? Starting pitching. It was a Head-to-head points league, after all -- the format that most favors starting pitchers. Nothing will bring the demand for them into greater focus than when you introduce 12 people to that format, remove all the conventions of a traditional snake draft and tell them they can have whomever they want so long as they're willing to pay the price.

Turns out we all wanted the same thing.

Every year, it skews all the more in that direction, which tells you that the people who didn't join in last time ultimately learned they needed to while they people who were already on board determined it was still the way to go. We actually commiserated about it in the chat room as the bidding for the very best arms reached new heights -- first Shane Bieber for $56, then Gerrit Cole for $63, then Jacob deGrom for $66. Turns out we had all looked at the results from the previous year, saw that no pitcher quite reached $50 and determined that we'd be willing to go that high for the best at the position this year. Because wouldn't that catch everyone by surprise?

I even had the thought while strategizing pre-draft that it might be worth going to $60 to land each of the top three. I ultimately backed down, not wanting to be stretched too thin elsewhere, particularly when budgeting $55 for each seemed like cushion enough. Little did I know everyone else was running the same calculation.

So why not buck the trend and zig while everyone else zags? Imagine the sort of discounts you could score on the top hitters, right? Yeah ... that's a solution that doesn't fully understand the problem. In this format, every lineup has only nine hitter spots to fill, and there's no need to balance categories or anything, which makes differentiating yourself from your competition in that area especially difficult. Plus, there are only so many times you can benefit from a hitter discount. It won't matter to you if Xander Bogaerts is going for $20 if you already got Bo Bichette for the same amount.

No, we all knew what we were doing. The pitchers would be what ultimately decides things. The hitters we could sort out later, enjoying the discounts in mostly equal measure. Even those who sold out so hard for pitching that they weren't able to partake in a $20 stud shortstop or a $16 Jose Abreu or an $11 Ketel Marte should still have an easy enough time patching up holes on the waiver wire given how few hitters need to be rostered in this format. Every year, I'm left wondering if basically all the money should go to starting pitching.

To commemorate our position previews on the full-length podcast, we're taking a look at Scott White's favorite players to target at each position. Can Mitch Garver bounce back? Why does Scott love Ke'Bryan Hayes so much? Why is Carlos Carrasco so undervalued? We've got you covered with player targets in 5! Head on over to SpotifyApple, or wherever else you consume podcasts to subscribe to Fantasy Baseball Today in 5. 

Unfortunately, I was intimidated by the inflated bidding and backed away from such ambitions, ultimately putting together a pitching staff that, while still featuring four of my top 35, is riskier than I'm used to, in this format or otherwise. Among those who channeled that ambition better was Dan Schneier, who wound up with both deGrom and Bieber, as well as a $35 Brandon Woodruff, and his hitting doesn't look so bad considering. 

The one who earns the most envy from me, though, is Nathan Judah, who put together a pitching staff of Yu Darvish, Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Zach Plesac and Framber Valdez and yet doesn't have a weak point in the rest of his starting lineup. Would I rather have my Alex Bregman and Nelson Cruz than his Matt Chapman and J.D. Martinez? Yes, but my duo cost $47 while his cost $14. And the pitchers he drafted figure to have more say in the league's final outcome.
