Answer 1

I say it's pretty decent at 7, but I can give you tips on twinkling your roster.

- Trade Chipper Jones if you can because he a health risk at best and LaRoche is a better utility player who can pop 30 HR and 100 RBI for Pittsburgh without any risk, maybe for someone like Jason Schmidt or Chris Ray to fill in the rotation.

- Juan "Gone" Rivera is not going to be playing until June at best with a freak injury he suffer playing winter ball, so drop him if you can.

- Jason Varitek is no longer consider an elite Catcher, so try to exploit the market for him in trades because the catcher position is thin at best, hoping that other bite on his past numbers.

- Nick Markakis is another good trade value due to his half a season number, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to have a great season with the O's and with Mark Teahan getting OF eligibility soon with the arrival of Alex Gordon, Markakis is good trade bait.

- Benitez is a big risk, so exploit the market for him for someone in dire need of closers. You can get guys like Joel Pinero (Boston) or Seth McClung (TB) for cheaper and they'll still produce 20-30 SV for the season.

- Find some younger guys to fill out your rotation like Homer Bailey, Philip Hughes, or Matt Garza. I trust these guys than what you have in your rotation now.

Answer 2

Overall it's a pretty decent team. You have one of the best catchers, if not the best. Ditto for you first and second basemen. Mauer, Howard, and Cano are all great. Rolen is a health risk at 3rd but I like him, if he remains healthy, he is poised to have a pretty big year. I am not crazy about Felipe Lopez at shortstop, so I might look to upgrade there a little bit. I would also look to add some more pop to your outfield. Rios is a nice little player, and Markakis has the potential to be pretty good. I am not a Cameron fan, I don't know how much he will give you. Chipper is a very good utility guy. Your pitching is good, I would just look to add another arm in place of one of your hitters, because you have so few starting pitchers. The ones you have are good, Peavy and Beckett especially, but you should look to maybe add one more. As a whole, though, I like your team.

Answer 3

4/10

Answer 4

I would give it a 6/10. Drop Juan Rivera (he's injured) and pick up a starting pitcher like Chuck James or Jose Contreras or Mark Buerhele

Answer 5

Answer 6
