I wanted Harper but he went early went back back hitters then hit 2 SP. 2 best pitchers available when I picked we’re DeGrom and Verlander. People load up on closers in this league for some reason. No team has a mobster roster.
More hitting stats than pitching stats

And one of the pitching stats is one you do not want to win. With that said, it may have been a better idea to grab another hitter in round 3-4. Also, with blown saves going against you, playing 4 closers may cancel out the W you may get in saves. Strange scoring league. Your pitching is definitely deep... I would start looking for Offensive help now though.

Drop Ziegler and added 1b/Of Eric Thames
Thames last season 247 avg 31 hrs, 83 runs, 63 rbis, 359 obp
Thames will likely be

Platooned against lefties. He flat out cannot hit them. 30%k rate, even after his incredible start. If that ticks up to 32%, which is possible he could become a 230 27 HR guy.... you can find a ton of those. I sound like I'm hating everything you're doing! Not the case, just giving my opinion. I'm no expert, fwiw.

Some interesting names that may still be out their or could be had cheaply:
Trey Mancini 1B OF
Josh Hader RP
Dustin Fowler OF
