The Mini Roto Challenge

As the second challenge of the year between Joe and Nate (each challenge won also counts as a line on the Dead Hookers' Back), the fellas have switched from streaming pitchers to a full fledged mini roto league. The Streaming Challenge concluded with Joe punching Nate square in the stomach, the audio of which you can find in Episode 7 of the NastyCast and the video is posted previously on this blog. Nate looks to avenge his loss, although he didn't have the best draft considering he thought he was drafting a points league team for much of the draft. That said anything can happen over the course of this tiny league, drafted prior to NastyCast episode 7 and lasting for 5 weeks. The categories are R, HR, RBI, SB, QS, K and SV. The positions are 1 catcher, 3 infielders, 3 outfielders and 5 pitchers and all players had to have had an ADP outside the top 200 according to fantasypros.com. Players will not be replaced even if they spend the duration of the challenge on the DL. Here are the teams:

Team Joe:
C - Devin Mesoraco
INF1 - Anthony Rendon
INF2 - Neil Walker
INF3 - Dee Gordon
OF1 - Charlie Blackmon
OF2 - Melky Cabrera
OF3 - George Springer
P1 - Scott Kazmir
P2 - Wily Peralta
P3 - Chris Archer
P4 - Martin Perez
P5 - Joakim Soria

Team Nate:
C - Miguel Montero
INF1 - Adam LaRoche
INF2 - Justin Morneau
INF3 - Erick Aybar
OF1 - Nori Aoki
OF2 - Angel Pagan
OF3 - Rajai Davis
P1 - Corey Kluber
P2 - Yordano Ventura
P3 - Jon Niese (originally Alex Wood but replaced after his move to the bullpen)
P4 - Ian Kennedy
P5 - Tommy Hunter

Who will win the first ever Mini Roto Challenge?! As they almighty Asia once proclaimed, only time will tell.
