Yesterday I posted the team I drafted in a 12 team 5X5 mixed league standard except 1 C, 6 starting pitchers and 4 relievers.  As I mentioned in that post, pitchers tend to go a bit earlier due to the roster requirements.  The team that was drafting from the #2 slot chose an interesting "strategy".  As best I can figure he decided to punt HR and RBI, try to win all 5 pitching catgories and focus on SB's, Runs and AVG from his offense. 

Last year the top team scored 91, second 84, third 82.  The year before the top team had 102 (that was me :), second 83, third 81.  So to finish in the money you need around 82 points.  This is a decent sized money league, top prize is around 2K (it is $3 a transaction, which adds up) and although this guy is one of the newer members, this is his 3rd draft, so this isn't someone just goofing off on purpose. 

For the sake of argument let's say he is able to win all 5 pitching categories and SB (and I won't grant that since I did not always agree that he was taking the best pitcher available either).  That is 72 points.  He is going to finish last in HR and RBI so that gets him to 74 points.  All he needs is a "5" in both AVG and Runs to get 2nd place. 

Is that doable with this roster?
