posting this as a followup, as I've been determined to find a way to make pitching work. $80m and starters never come out!

I was also trying to find the post of the manager who said he'd "seen behind the curtain" as relates to this strategy. The example he gave was in a HR park however. I don't think I'd try it that way but it worked and I wanted to look at it again.
Also joined the current league "Pitching is Back!!" and of course with a $3.00 limit on position players the pitching is dominating.

Having said all that, I think my next ATG experience will be at the $60m level :)

thanks Skip, my original thought going in with this team was "this probably won't work, but I want to see how the pitching does in this scenario".
