You need to address your CLOSER situation.
Your offense looks great. You have power and speed.
Your starters look solid.(liariano is out for season) Bedard will be stellar this season!
But you will need saves....in any format!!!! You will finish in top 4 or 5 teams if you dont get a couple closers. Check to see if Dotel is available. Or Torres for pittsburgh. Dont pay attention to his spring trainining stats. Hes money for at least 20-25 saves this season. As is Dotel.
When Lindstrom becomes available for Florida he may be usefull too. Or try to trade a starter for a closer. Just tryin to help. (drop johnson, drop liriano for those closers i told ya about)

Do you have an obsession with lefites, all but 2 of your pitchers are lefties. Anyway, I give it a 6.5 out of 10. You need saves very badly. Your two relief pitchers are actually starters who are out for at least half the season, Liriano for the whole. Offer them in a trade, and maybe some nutcase will bite. Bedard will be much better than Rogers. Outside of wins, Bedard tes in everything else. More strikeouts and less ERA and WHIP. He is probably a top five lefty in the AL, behind Santana, Sabathia, and Kazmir. Again, you're team is dying for saves. Trade Lilly and Rogers for guys like Chad or Francisco Cordero. You won't need a Rivera or Nathan, though.
The Offense is solid. As good as Billy Hall is, trade him for help elsewhere. Second base? You don't need him very much. It's an above-average lineup, but not spectacular.
In a 12-team league, it will finish in the middle.

You have an average team, but lack a lot of power. Replace Patterson with Wells first off.
Liariano is out, will never be the same. Get rid of him fast! You need a closer instead. Randy Johnson is old and on a bad team. That is a bad choice. Zito and Lilly are average at best. Rodgers is average, usually has a good half and a bad half.
Without seeing the other teams in your league, I say you have problems with this team. You are the lower half.
Sorry

First off, I can't predict where you'll finish because I don't know what the other teams in your league look like.
I can, however, rate your team and offer a few suggestions.
Rating - 4 (but how you translate my suggestions could raise it up to a 6)
Suggestion 1 - Liriano will be out for at least the 2007 season (and postseason, if Minnesota makes it that far).
Suggestion 2 - Lugo won't get you stolen bases anymore now that he's in Boston.
Suggestion 3 - Rogers has to cheat to keep playing, and there's no guarantee he'll repeat last season's win count.
