Thoughts?????

Domenic

Your team really doesn't have a weakness. Wins may be hard to come by, so you may want to look into grabbing another starter, and you have a few injury risks (Harden, Greene, Wood, Guerrero, Martinez), but nothing I'd worry about too much.

Brian34Cook

Thanks.. was just curious what ya thought (or anyone actually).. I like my team quite a bit.. we'll see what happens when the season kicks off

I know theres a few risks on what I did but if they are healthy then I see no reason they wont be nice picks.. I only did the Khalil Greene one because I think he'll have a big year for us.. I'm not sure if I wanna drop Francisco Cordero and pick up Brandon Morrow or not either.. I think I'll wait around.. I might just pick up a starter and get rid of him at some point.. Wood and Valverde should be able to hold it down.. until Wood is hurt lol

Domenic

I wouldn't drop Cordero - I'd try to deal him, though. Cash Money only has one (injured) closer - see if he's interested. See if he'll give up Javier Vazquez for him, for example... you'd grab a ton of K's, ten extra wins, and probably a better ERA and WHIP.

Morrow's a closer for the time being - I would drop Cordero straight-up for him, but I think you may be able to drop Jackson for Morrow, and deal Cordero for something good, in terms of a starter.

Brian34Cook

Well I put Cordero on the trade block and lookin to get a starter in return.. hopefully someone bites on him

Brian34Cook

I did end up dropping Conor Jackson and picked up Brandon Morrow.. I can live with it..

Brian34Cook

So my team has turned into C Victor Martinez, 1B Derrek Lee, 2B Dustin Pedroia, 3B Aramis Ramirez, SS Hanley Ramirez, OF Pat Burrell, OF Raul Ibanez, OF Adam Jones, UT Jeremy Hermida, BN Alexei Ramirez, BN Adrian Beltra, DL Vlad Guerrero

My Pitching is now SP Roy Halladay, SP Roy Oswalt, RP Kerry Wood, RP Francisco Cordero, P Matt Cain, P Clayton Kershaw, P Brandon Morrow, BN Jose Valverde, BN Rich Harden

I'm about to go 5-5 this week after 10-0 win last week.. I'm up 3 runs (30-27), down 5 HR (12-7), down 14 RBI (37-23), up 2 SB (2-0), batting avg up .314 to .266, down 2 wins (3-1), up 1 save (2-1), down 2 k's (30-28), up in ERA 3.33 to 4.76, whip behind 1.56 to 1.32.. could very well drop some of those today too.. meh..

The Guru

You might win the league. That is a great team full of potent bats and pretty good arms. I would not want to be in the league with you.
