Answer 1

You have some solid players in Peavy, Hafner, K-Rod, Bonderman, A-Rod and Rollins, but also a ton of question marks in Gagne, Hoffman, Coco Crisp, Cameron and Pierzynski. I think that Hafner, Rollins and A-Rod will really deliver for you, but I'm worried about the rest of your hitters. Pitching-wise, you will be hurt if you are counting on Hoffman and Gagne - nobody even knows if the latter will be healthy enough to pitch. But I think you have some solid young stud pitchers to get you the k's and w's you need to compete and with K-Rod, you surely should have enough saves to challenge anyone. All around a solid pitching corps and a pretty good team considering you started with pick number 7!

Answer 2

Love: Your Entire pitching staff is awesome. based on how many people are in your league (im guessing 10ish) i would not be suprised if you had the best staff in the league... especially for Ks. Peavy, Young, Rodruiguez, and Hernandez are all league leaders in srikeouts per nine inings. Plus, after how good Bonderman looked in the postseason... expect a huge year out of him.

Your offense is a little puzzling. Hafner, Rodruigez, and probably Rollins are going to be solid producers. But the Atlanta Braves side of the infeild isn't too wise. It;s one thing to draft teammates, but Braves teammates is something totally different. As alternate options I am guessing Andy Phillips (Yankees) and Kaz Matsui (Rockies) are free agents you may want to pick up.

Your outfeilders are very risky... mostly because they are all injury-prone. I dont have a guess as to who is available in your league, but when looking at free agents for backups, consider this: Pick a guy who is going to get pitches to hit. A player in the Yankees or Mets or any strong lineup is bound to get pitches to hit because nobody wants to pitch to the Jeters or Beltrans. Then think about the guys that bat around them. If you have a guy with a high on base % in front of him hes going to get alot of RBI opportunities. If he has someone great behind him, he'll score alot of runs. So considering that, good luck with your team.

Answer 3

depends on how big the league is. if its a 12 team league or smaller, then youre not looking too good. where is your bench? you should have a better 1b, 2b, and OF. you need more than 2 RP to win the saves categories. gagne might get hurt or lose his job to otsuka.

Answer 4

No offense, but I don't think that it's too good. You need serious help in your OF and at 2B.

Answer 5

pitching staff good outfield DL problems
