Letter grade with an explanation would be cool. The longer the better...

i wish there was a simple way to respond to some submitted answers. "the next one" told me i have no aces (when i have dontrelle willis and chris capuano), and said i should get aces such as Hamels, or myers. this dude is on crack. if u think hamels is an ace when dontrelle isn't u have serious problems. he also suggested i trade chase utley, who is the best fantasy player on the market. there is no really good second baseman other than utley fantasy wise. cano and figgi are good, but none are even close to utley's numbers (300/32/100/130/15). please think LOGICALLY before u post. im not saying my team is the best ever, but dont come out saying i have no potential ace with dontrelle willis and chris capuano on my squad

Answer 1

B overall, (Avg - A, HR - A, RBI - A, R - B, SB - C) (W - B, K - B, ERA - C, WHIP - C, SV - C) . Your hittiing is pretty good but you have no depth (some of your position players have a history of injury issues) and you could use some more speed. I would also get another closer if possible. I have serious doubts that Gagne will last the entire season. No way you need this many SP. If you're in a league that limits innings then you're going to have a lot of useless players around August. You're also leaving a lot of unused starts on the table for your position players. Trade or drop at least 3 of your SP (if it was me that would be Penny, Hernandez,and Rogers). Willis is an ace but the rest of your staff isn't that exciting, mostly 3rd or 4th SP for a fantasy team.

Answer 2

B-. Pretty darn good hitting line-up, contrary to what the last poater said. Try to trade some of your extra pitchers for better ones and for a bench offensive player. I don't see a potential ace on your staff. Willis, Rogers, Penny are all decent but no Santana, Oswalt, Zambrano, Hamels, Myers, Peavy, Carpenter type of guy. Work a deal from your strength and look for someone with an abundance of aces and work from there or you will win the hiiting categories by far but lose the piching ones by far.
An example of a deal I would look for would be Livan Hernandez and Chase Utley for Jake Peavy and Robison Cano.

Answer 3

Beauty team man!! Gr8 ACES, batters get rid of griffey, vazquez, and dempster with gagne.

Give gagne a chance b4 u drop him

Letter grade: A, 95%
Pujols can make it a 999% A+++++++++++++ team

Answer 4

ur offense is just about as solid as it gets. i never knew guillen's stats were that high... anyway, your outfielders are injury prone, yet i think theyre due for a healthy season. the starting pitching is solid. d-train, cap, vazquez, penny... ur 2 first closers are good, but good luck with dumpster. i give the team an A-. the only things holding u back are dumpster, injury prone guys, and zimmerman, who will have nobody to bat in this year with soriano gone.

Answer 5

yikes, 2/3 of your OF is going to miss significant time. Same could be said for Giambi. Your pitching staff is ANCIENT. Letter grade C (probable) B (with some luck) D (with bad luck) - todd shriber

Answer 6

WHAT ARE YOU DOING get rid of 3 pitchers and get batters and try to trade pitchers for hitters pitching is deff not more important then hitting im guessing this is your first fantasy team

Answer 7

Excellent team, you should win this year.......too many pitchers though, you have 5 on your bench

Answer 8

c+, you have injury prone players, and guys who have only had one great season.
