GM's OFFICE: Helium

Back in April, I wrote about the crushing impact of the A.J. Pollock and Kyle Schwarber injuries, and how those lightning-bolt events really just kicked off the process of grinding your roster all season long.

I specifically cited my NFBC entry, which lost Pollock a day after drafting him. In the no-trading NFBC, the natural reaction to that event is to lower expectations: you figure your 1-in-450 shot at the $125k first prize is out the window. But you rationalize from there: maybe you can still grind out a money finish in the league, turn a bit of a profit, and chase the big prize again next year. Let's face it, 449 big-prize dreams die sometime before October; it doesn't much matter whose dies in April and whose dies in late...

Almost!
