Out of 10! 12 Man League

Answer 1

I'd say 7.5. Power is excellent. Avg. and speed are decent.
Not too crazy about your closers and you don't have many (any) big K guys pitching. Actually maybe a 6.5. If you had a Santana, Hamels, Myers or Peavy type guy then it would be higher. Also, keep an eye out for a closer whom may not be chosen by the team yet or when someone's closer get injured, hop on the next guy in line for the duties. Isringhausen and Benitez are too injury prone (Benitez will probably be a set-up man somewhere soon via a trade) Gonzalez should be OK but again-no studs like KRod, Nathan, BJ Ryan or Wagner. Watch to see what BoSox do or check if Zumaya is available. Unless your league has holds then Linebrink is useless unless he gets traded or their is an injury. Good Luck.
Is Gonzalez definitely closing in Atlanta or is it Wickman?? I am not sure, if it is Wickman then you get bumped down again.

Answer 2

Good power but I would be concerned about your SB potential. Beltran may get a few and Cabrera will too. I'd start him over Peralta to get more runs and SBs. Weeks could be a decent 2B.

Whatever you do, don't drop or trade Gonzalez. The Braves got him for a reason: to be a closer in waiting. Wickman will either blow up or eat himself out of the closer role. Gonzo should sneak in there later this season. And you'll need him because Benitez won't help and Izzy may get hurt again. IF he does, Wainwright may close again so keep him too. Also, be on the lookout for others why may move into closer roles. You'll need them.

Overall: 7, but could move higher with some good waiver wire pickups to address the SB and reliever needs.

Answer 3

Depending upon your scoring system looks to me like you'll finish in the upper middle of your league. An injury or two with your hitters and lights out. But time will tell. Good luck in your league though.

Answer 4

I'd give it a 9, you have some power and will generate some HRs and RBIs but not quite enough for my taste. Good squad though.

Answer 5

i'd give it a 8/10, its not horrid, but its decent and it will put you in the top 4 of the league. hope this helps.

Answer 6

Great Outfield, weak infield, you need more SP

Answer 7

eh your hitters are alright but your pitchers suck execpt for holliday.
