Don't worry, I can verify for you. Your best options are Mark Prior, John Rocker, David Wells, Nomar Garciaparra and Bengie Molina.
Fade since I dominated last year in my win, it would not be fair if I go with the keepers you suggested, instead I’ll keep the crappy players on my team and see if I can repeat…… Therefore I’ll keep these bench players from last season: Rook Slot A (indefinite) Alex Bregman - 6 Slot B (4 max) Pete Alonso - 3 Slot C (4 max) Gerrit Cole - 2 Slot D (3 max) Kyle Tucker - 2 Slot E (3 max) Wander Franco - 1 Slot F (2 max) Aaron Judge - 0 Slot G (2 max) Adley Rustchman - 0
Since we have yet to start, I'd like to update my keeper list @fadeaway Slot A (indefinite) Max Scherzer - 5 Slot B (4 max) Rafael Devers - 3 Slot C (4 max) Julio Urias - 2 Slot D (3 max) Shohei Ohtani - 1 Slot E (3 max) Carlos Rodon - 1 Slot F (2 max) Matt Olson - 1 Slot G (2 max) Emmanuel Clase - 0
Okay one more time, I made a deal with @Rocketball and am keeping Oneil Cruz now instead of Julio Urias Slot A (indefinite) Max Scherzer - 5 Slot B (4 max) Rafael Devers - 3 Slot C (4 max) Matt Olson - 1 Slot D (3 max) Shohei Ohtani - 1 Slot E (3 max) Carlos Rodon - 1 Slot F (2 max) Oneil Cruz - 0 Slot G (2 max) Emmanuel Clase - 0

Looks like you spoke too soon! You’ve pulled within 40 points or so with two days left to go. First match of the season is probably the biggest pitching advantage of the year. Every starter should get a couple starts in.
Couple of strong starts by Gray and Stroman put me back within striking distance, but still will be tough to overcome, so not holding my breath. On the plus side, seeing Romano and Bednar as the #1 and #2 top closers warms the cockles of my heart.
Considering you took 22 RP in the draft I would hope at the very least two of those selections turned out to be top 5 picks.
