please do not answer the question if you dont know sh*t about it

Answer 1

You have an average hitting team that could be above average if Rios becomes a 30-100-100 guy, Lee shows that 2005 wasn't a fluke, amd jones turns out to be great. You probably know this but make sure you start McCann, he is listed as your bench player.

You pitching staff is average but is full of sleepers with Maine, Jennings, and some other guy i'm not mentioning. Nice RP's

Advice: Get some pitchers that will give you more strike outs, homer bailey is probably in your FA's. He might not be in the Majors yet, but if he proves himself he's ready this Spring Training, he'll be up in the majors, dominating batters with his K's

Answer 2

Not bad. Avg.
You took some chances on starters. I like the back up of Wickman using Soriano, if he gets into the country he'll be a good candidate to take over the closer role and you can dump wickman. BJ Upton is set to lose his position to Akinori Iwamura. Consider the Upton experiment on hold for now. If you need a prospect for 3B look to Alex Gordon otherwise cut your loss now.
You are carrying 2 catchers, a major flaw, pick one and try to trade the other for a starting pitcher. I understand the desire to back up each position but catchers are only valuable in their relation to other people eligible at that position. If you listed all offensive players and did the same draft for the same categories to play fantasy regardless of position maybe 2 catchers would be on the list, sometimes it's better to play the position at 140 games than to eat up a valuable bench spot for a player that may only play 15-20 games for you and not produce much in those games. It's OK to go 0-0 sometimes, in our desparation to fill a position we put a guy in who goes 0-4.

If you run short on Power - you may have to bench Drew for Glaus put Chipper at 3B and get Overbay or Edmonds into the Util spot. You will need the stars to align and milk every HR possible out of this lineup.

If Baldelli and Rios help with speed you may be just below avg. Cleveland doesn't run much so Sizemore should be about the same. But Barfield may convince them to run more.

Answer 3

It's above average. You have nice power in Lee and Glaus. Baldelli is primed for a breakout year and Utley will do fine. Drew is a question mark and I think Rios will be a bust this year. I would also recomend starting McCann at Util instead of Jones. You lack a strong SP but you have youth. Wang could be a bust but could also have another strong year. If Street stays healthy and Wickman doesn't lose his job, you could be very strong in the saves category. Overall, you have a fairly nice team but you are taking several risks.

Answer 4

Your offense should be solid, I really like your catchers (McCann and Martin should be nasty). Good balance on the offense. Your starting pitching scares me a little though, Wang & Hudson are not strike out pitchers and Tim didnt have the best of years in 06. Wickman might lose his closer role to Soriano or Gonzalez and Wainwright is the set up man right now. I would wait with the staff you have and see if you can find a bargain pitcher that hits the waiver wire.

Answer 5

like ur other draft, another incredibly stacked offence. how did u get sizemore glaus jones rios utley and lee!! ur pitching is a bit better this time. maybe one more starting pitcher but its not entirely neccesary. one pitcher that i feal will be very good this year is anthony reyes you can try to pick him up but u dont need to.

Answer 6

pretty damn good lineup. get rid of ming wanger pick up a better pitcher. your going to want to put jennings up instead of john maine jennings is going to have a big year.

Answer 7

Never heard of any of them...! Do you follow English third division teams or something..?
