Doesn't appear to be anyone you can't get back in the draft although a $5 KRod will be hard to match.

Khris Davis will go for double digits. HR can be tough to come by nowadays in an -Only league. K-Rod is really the one I'm considering, though. Always like taking in a few saves, but in doing so I'd probably cut Wacha.

I'd rather KRod or Davis over Adams. Not an Adams fan. Potential platoon vs lefties. Lack of power from 1B spot.

Thanks, guys. This is some good stuff. Really made me revisit some of my decisions. Exactly what I was hoping for when I posted.
Here are some devil's advocate points on Matt Adams for discussion.
1. Traditionally this league values INF greatly and undervalues closers. You guys couldn't have known this.
2. While I doubt he can match his 2013 pace, I do believe he can bounce back in HR to 20, although I've seen that his "all fields" approach is part of what sapped his power.
3. I think he may be a hitter who actually improves for fantasy purposes if in a platoon.
4. I'm too lazy to look at everyone, but there may only be three southpaw SP in his division.
5. It's a daily league, so I can swap him out on days he's not in the starting lineup.
6. It looks like 7 teams will have a 1B opening with the pool being Rizzo, AGonz, Lind, Duda, Howard, Alonso, and Belt. So that's 7 for 7, but does not take into account the 8 teams that have a CI opening (including me). In other words, some teams are going to have the likes of in their starting lineups, and I'm hell bent on not being one of those guys.
I don't know if this is true, but I've seen one projected batting order with him in cleanup vs RHP. One thing I don't know is Adams' health history.
Any of my points misguided?
