I forgot to add my catcher, Miguel Montero. AJ Pierzynski is still on the waiver list, so I may replace Montero with him. Although I have heard good things about Montero...

You should hit for average, steal a good deal of bases and score some runs. You will be competitive in HR's and RBI's as well. You should be in the top 2 or 3 in SB/R. Probably top 5 in HR/RBI, and middle of the pack in average.
Carl Crawford - hopefully he will finally put if top 10 numbers
Lee - getting fatter and slower, but still an excellent player
Furcal - productivity depends some on batting order
Sexson - will bring down you average
Markakis - second year and a tradition of mediocrity in Baltimore
Your pitching will need some work. Smoltz and Johnson are ancient and will probably go down for at least a few games. Bedard is a good pitcher, but has to face some brutal line ups in that division. Santana and Hill could be good, hopefully last year was not a fluke. You are in trouble when it comes to saves. Jenks was pulled for a sore arm (may not be bad), keep an eye on the waiver wire, and pick up new closers and injury replacements. I would consider a few good short relievers to eat up innings and get you a few stray wins. Keep an eye out for Starters too, maybe trade away a little offense.

Awesome team, for a keeper league, guys like Smoltz and Johnson are on their way out but you have up and comers like Santana, Wainright, Billingsley, Bedard and Liriano. Hittewrs are good with again a good mix of young and old. I think you were drafting against amateurs.

Youv'e got a fabulous hitting linuep. It loks to me like all you cared about was hitting first. Because your pitching, well to say the least, it sucks. You're only good pitchers are Adam Wainwright and Chad Billingsley. Billingsley and Wainwright are both young and are going to have stellar years! Out of 12 teams, you will probably finsih 5th or 6th. Get some pitching and you will be good. I give your team a B+

Looks like your team is built to score a lot of runs, hit lots of HR's and get a lot of RBI. The pitching needs a little work, though. Do not expect Randy Johnson to do much and Jenks is hurt. To waht extent, I don't know. Get some pitching like Matt Cain, Johan Santana.

Am I the only one who isn't seeing a catcher here? Its never good to sacrifice an entire position. The rest of you lineup looks great. Your pitching could be okay, if you can get a decent year out of RJ and Smoltz (the latter being more likely.

Hitting is very strong but your pitching can use a lot of help trade away some of ur hitting assets and pick up some pitchers.
