Answer 1

Sp is a little weak. closers are ok,, rest are great.

Answer 2

Where are your backups? You have an excellent team in the field and at the plate, but won't you need other position bench players on off days for your starters? I would grab someone or 2 to cover middle infield.

The bottom of your pitching rotation looks pretty weak also. Hernandez and Suppan are big questions. Hernandez may grab you some K's at times when he is on, but Suppan is really struggling to begin the year. I would consider dropping a SP and grabbing some depth on your bench. You can always spot start different pitchers from waivers. There will be many pitchers that will surprise this year. Watch as many as you can from the waiver wire.

Answer 3

Offense is great, pitching is not terrible but not great at the same time. I think Kazmir and Street are the only two you can really count on. If Gagne and Harden stay healthy they can do wonders for you but that is kind of a big if. Suppan and Haren are solid major league pitchers but fantasy wise not all that great. If I were you I would dump Dempster and Lowry, and even El Duque because of his inconsistency. Good Luck.

Answer 4

I say 7.5. If you improve your rotation and add 1 closer, you are 8.5-9.

I like your offense. I like Kazmir and Haren, and Harden can bounce back, but I am not sold on Suppan or El Duque, I think you need to replace one of those if not both. Also, trade away Dempster while he has some value, he will not be the closer come mid may, as Wood will take it over.

Answer 5

I really like your team except for the last couple of pitchers and Lyle Overbay.. I would maybe try to do a couple of trades to upgrade your catcher spot and maybe stregthen your pitchers. (they arent very durable) 8.5 outta 10. You should be between 1-3 barring any injuries in your league

Answer 6

Jeter is overrated in fantasy sports.

Answer 7

not bad at all!

get rid of dempster though!

he will mess you up! BIG TIME!
