CDM Points Teams

CDM is my favorite fantasy service. I've played with them for eight years now and have won a nice chunk of change along the way.

It is a salary-cap style game with 40 man rosters (28 starts, 12 bench), 25 team leagues, and league, overall, and weekly prizes. Transactions are made weekly and the salaries and positions don't change throughout the season.

I've entered seven teams across three different game formats (different costs and prizes).

Scoring:
1B- 1 point
2B- 2

I've done a ton of research this year, so I really hope it pays off. My strategy was to mix a bunch of higher priced hitters with a relatively cheap pitching staff. Papelbon listed as a starter is money in this game. You get 14 buys throughout the year to drop a player from your team for a new one. I figure that I'd need at least two on closers, a couple on my speculative outfield, and the rest will be for the various pitching injuries that always occur.
