Answer 1

You have a crushing offense (except SBs) and decent pitching (except closers). Yes, injuries could hurt you, but that is a risk you accept when you play fantasy (with older players you risk injury / with younger players, you risk inconsistency or plain disappointment). I wish I knew whether we were talking roto vs. H2H or something else.....that said:

By position:

C - top shelf, only maybe McCann will out produce (Mauer is only AVG and runs guy)
1B - top of the line
2B - only provides AVG, but a weak position this year
3B - only injury risk is concern
SS - Young gains RBI potential with move to 3rd in batting order. Only Reyes is more solid here.
OF - Beltran is solid, Sheff should be good (barring injury), Dunn will kill your AVG though and Griff is useless in fantasy.
Util - Matthews is fine until you know otherwise. He is still slated to lead off and should be not be underestimated at this point.

SP - solid bunch except Garcia (he scares me this year)
RP - Hoffman is fine , but dump Benitez. Don't waste tme picking up Torres or Stanton (both are likely still out there), just pick up Pineiro (risky but with Red Sox), Tankersley (Fla) or some lights out guys that might move over (Zumaya is probably gone). Otherwise, take a few mid relievers that will help your ERA and WHip (see Broxton with LAD or Shields with LAA).

By Category:

HR - will win 90% of the time
RBI - will win 70% of the time, maybe more
SB - never win
Runs - win about 40-50%
AVG - win 90+% if you get Dunn out of there

W - win 40%
S - Never win unless opponent has <2 closers
K - Win 25%, not your pitching staff's forte
ERA - You should be solid here - win 75-80% (fear Garcia)
Whip - Win 70-75% of the time (again I fear Garcia)

Suggest: If this is H2H, drop the excess fielders and replace with pitching. Find someone to replace Garcia, Benitez, and Griffey (oh yeah and trade Dunn.....maybe for someone with not quite the power but better AVG and run capability).

Forget SBs - you are too far out to worry about it.

Answer 2

I'd give you about a 7-8. I'm a Reds fan for life, but my best advice is to dump Dunn and Griff while you still can. Berkman and Jones have been hurt and are kinda risky too but I haven't kept up with what they've been doing. Dunn is looking at another unproductive .220 season with crappy RISP. 40 homers won't help the lack of production elsewhere. Griff is already hurt and looks to miss the start of the season again. Two big name players that have broke a lot of fantasy owners hearts over the years. I think you can sucker someone into trading you someone who is more "surefire". You never know what you get with pitching, but I'd say you have a solid SP cast. Boost you're RP's and maybe work on replacing a couple of proboble lame ducks in OF and you'll do ok.

Answer 3

Very strong hitting, some injury risks though, such as KGJ and Chipper. Pitching will be a problem, some unknowns- Igawa, some players who will dropoff- wang, one true ace willis and 3 potential injury risks in schmidt, pettitte and benitez. Depending on how deep your league is and if it is roto 5x5 or head to head, I guess I would give it about an 8. Try to trade from ur strenght, ur OF and see if you can get a decent pitcher to add on. Or pick up someone who may be a closer this year.

Answer 4

You're done with in 2 categories even before the season begins: steals and strikeouts, your pitching staff needs major work because you're gonna be short on wins as well. I would suggest you swing a trade for 1 player that can singlehandedly give u enough steals to stay competitive ie. Jose Reyes, Carl Crawford. If you're in a roto league u cannot afford two categories with 1 or 2 points in them, thats automatic no-chance-to-win.

Answer 5

I would give it an 8 out of 10. Martinez is a solid C. Berkman will put up solid stats guarenteed, but watch out for him losing his 1B or OF position due to lack of play there. Sanchez won't lead the league in avg. again, but should put up a solid avg. this year. Young is one of the best SS in baseball. Jones should put up good stats, but watch out, cause he's like 35, and also injury-prone. Beltran is one of the best OF in baseball. Sheffield may or may not do well, so try to trade him before the season. Dunn will kill you in strikeouts, but his HRs and RBI's somewhat make up for it. Peralta is good but not great, and should be a good bench guy. Griffey is worth the risk on your bench, for now. Hillenbrand is a good hitter, and could fill in if needed. Hudson is a solid player, but in no ways great, but should be able to fill in if your starter gets injured. Matthews, despite the risk, could be worth it if he plays. Willis is one o fthe best SP in baseball, and should be worth it. Schmidtshould have about the same stats, because he's not even leaving his own division, despite changing teams, so look for about equal stats from him from last season. Wang is solid, and should be a good pick. Pettite is getting on in years, but sohuld be solid for at least one more. Garcia is losing some touch, but should be solid this year. Igawa is iffy, try to get another SP. Hoffman is the all-time leader in saves, so an obvious good call. Benitez is solid too. My only advice: Try to trade Sheffield, Dunn, Matthews, and Igawa if possible. Trade Matthews for a player like Adrian Beltre, who puts up about equal stats, but without the risk. You have a good overall team though.

Answer 6

6, actual that's incredibly susceptible :/, who did u take interior the 1st around. johan? guy that isnt a clever %.. u have been given no conventional to boot youk, meaning u wont get many hits, you in basic terms have been given potential. in turn you will get some rbis, yet your gamers arent one hundred+ rbi adult men u in basic terms have 3, and adult men that merely hit homers, yet all those adult men wont hit that many this twelve months. you ignored out on plenty. no longer a sturdy pitching group the two. how many human beings werein the league? maybe which may make my determination alittle greater effective. for closers all you opt for is adult men that get you saves, seem for quantity, obv high quality enables yet you opt for the main saves obtainable. yet in certainty you haven't any longer all people of breakout potential to boot for daisuke, youk, soriano(if healthy), ubaldo is a effective previous due %. tho, attempt to get some turning out to be stars that werent taken probable, good success

Answer 7

7.5 its good but a lot of older players might let u down

Answer 8

8/10, good job
