Published on May 8, 2015

I'm under the gun on time, so I'll just post my lineups below. The top three are all for the same $125K-prize-pool, $3-entry tournament, the middle two are in the same $10 Double Up and the bottom ones are for RotoWire and Tout Wars contests, respectively:

Pos	Player	$	Player	$	Player	$
P	Hammel	8100	Hamels	9200	Price	10900
C	Ramos	2800	Swihart	2300	Grandal	3200
1B	Zimmerman	2700	Napoli	2300	Gonzalez	5400
2B	Pedroia	2900	Pedroia	2900	Gennett	2400
3B	Donaldson	3600	Donaldson	3600	Solarte	2200
SS	Desmond	3000	Rollins	3300	J.Ramirez	2300
OF	Werth	2900	Craig	2200	Colabello	2200
OF	Brantley	4200	Bautista	4800	Beltran	2200
OF	Bautista	4800	Upton	4300	Brantley	4200
	Total	35000		34900		35000

For the first lineup, I rolled with Jason Hammel against the Brewers missing Carlos Gomez. I don't love Hammels here, and even used Scooter Gennett and Jean Segura in some spots, but I see a case for him having a good game and don't like many of the top pitchers today. I stacked right-handed Nationals here against lefty Eric Stults whose best work we haven't seen since Pulp Fiction and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I might regret not using Bryce Harper here, but he was pricey and is also left handed. I also have a mini Jays stack with Donaldson and Bautista because the Nats I used were cheap, and I could afford them against lefty Wade Miley.

The second lineup I stacked cheap Red Sox against Aaron Sanchez, threw in Donaldson and Bautista again and had money left over for Justin Upton and Jimmy Rollins (weather permitting.)

The third is just a crazy hail mary with Price, a couple expensive Dodgers at Coors (both games could be rain delayed or rained out) and a bunch of scrubs who are in the lineup.
