I drafted alot of closers because the scoring in our league rewards saves very heavily

Answer 1

This is a very pitching heavy team. And an excellent set of pitchers at that. Josh Johnson is out for a couple months, but you shouldn't worry.

Your offense is solid, although there are a lot of potential breakdowns there. Piazza is good but a threat as he is getting older. Chipper will miss a stretch, Giambi is chancy, Helton is breaking down. So you could probably stand to trade some of your pitching (maybe 1 of your glut of closers) for some offensive stability to back these guys up.

Good team overall, but I'll say overkill on closers.

Edit: I know you wanted a lot of closers, but you have in my estimation 4 of the top 10, and Hoffman who is not far behind. And K-Rod and Nathan are the top two. You can afford to trade away 1 or even 2 of them and still handily win the league in saves.

Answer 2

You have a good 1-2 punch at SP, after that it is a little sketchy and contains a lot of waiver wire boys. You may have enough talent there if you spot start them in favorable situations.

Of course you are strong at RP, no help needed there.

Your offense is good, the only real weakness is batting average. You a few .260 hitters that will bring down your overall average.

You have a good team, I'd give them a solid 7/10. You will need to improve in BA and Wins.

Answer 3

I'd say overall you have a pretty solid team (8 of 10). Your offense is top notch. You pitching is pretty good, and Nathan is probably the best current closer. Given Josh Johnsons injury, you might consider trading away some offense if your offense is dominating. Good Luck!

Answer 4

If i had that team i would get rid of some of ur pitchers cause u are stacked in that area and try and get a perty good C and SS and maybe 1 OF and get a back up 3B of the FA like ALEX GORDON HE WILL BE GREAT THIS YEAR HE IS A STARTER ALSO! so there u go. O also it probably is a 7 and if u listen to my advise it will get up to prob. a champions ship team

Answer 5

that is probably an 7.5 out of 10 but it could be improved by getting a stronger middle infield by trading Jason Giambi and a middle infielder for a weaker 1st baseman and a strong ss or 2nb baseman because Giambi is plagued by injuries and will not last the whole season

Answer 6

hmm.. interesting strategy. lets see.. you got closing well in hand.. no help there. your infield and outfield look pretty solid. look for some sort of replacement for chipper. hes injuried again. and maybe trade away a pitcher for another catcher. theres no telling what piazza will do. overall id give your team an 9 outta 10 good luck!

Answer 7

8 out of 10. Piazza is gonna Dh this year, You may want to trade Lopez, and Swisher/ Pitchers- You could do better than James, and Putz is out till June. SOOOO.... You may want to upgrade the players I said and then you should be golden this season.

Answer 8

idunno its okay... 4-6 years ago this team would be absolutely stacked! but now a lot of those guys are starting to break down cause of age. they are all really great players but you can't take that many on your team thats too much of a burden. i love the pitchers you got but using smoltz as your number two just isn't that smart i'd rather put maddux up between the two of those guys. youll do pretty good though just watch out on the old guys.
