Pick 6 Fantasy Baseball, August 20: A new theme

Once again, a new week dawns, and we begin another weekly Pick 6 campaign. Get excited, people. I know I am.

And to stoke that excitement even further, I propose that we start the week off with a theme competition. There's no prize and it's definitely not mandatory - it's just something that I think makes the game a little more fun, and in the vein of 50-Cent Fridays, makes it a little more challenging. So if you're up to it, join in.

First let's look at the scores from yesterday and the final score from the week's competition.

Good job by Gringo Steiner to take the daily game by a pretty substantial margin. And second and third places were separated by a mere tenth of a point, which is fun. Now let's see what that does to the overall scoring for the week:

The weekly race ended up closer than the daily one, but still a safe victory for hypeprospect.

So on to tonight's game. I mentioned earlier that I'd be putting out a special game tonight. The chosen theme is "Teams": that is, all six of your players should be teammates in real life. You can choose any team you want, you just need to make sure you can get a team under-budget with six members. I'm going with the Nationals:

I found the most expensive pitcher on a team I thought I could build around, and then went from there. I'm pretty happy with the way the 6 turned out, even if I did end up with $35.50 left over. So, can you top that?
