Good job. Varitek is an average catcher. Ortiz is a top 10 pick. Cano is due for a breakout year. His batting average last year was very impressive. Marte is a solid sleeper choice. If there are any safer choices left, though, take them. Marte is not guaranteed playing time in Cleveland and will probably start the season in the minors. Reyes is a top 10, pick as well, a solid five-category stud performer. Your outfield is very strong; a compliment of average, runs, power, RBI's, and steals. Your starting pitching might have some issues. Mulder is obviously injury-prone. Kazmir spent some time on the injury list, too. Papelbon is a sleeper because his success as a starting pitcher might be different from his success as a closer. Your offense should keep your afloat comfortably, however. As for Huston Street, he should be good for 30+ saves.

Like the fielders. Mulder struggles especially since he left Oakland. Kazmir might not get enough run support but might have low ERA. Papelbon could be one of the 1 year busts, but throws 100, has low ERA and will have many save chances. So i dont know. Huston Street is another one but will be used a lot so that maybe good. Your outfield is spectacular lot of power and with the exception of Manny you hav 5 tool players. Reyes and Cano will give you many good things. Ortiz will give you good hitting. Varitiek is getting up there in age but will give you a decent year. With the team you have he will be a minor issue. Your team is great. Almost a 10 out of 10. I would fiddle around with possible pitching trades or pick-ups. Godd luck!

It looks loaded but I would have to know how many teams are in the league. If it is an 8-team league, you're fantastic. If it's a 4-team league, it's just very good. In either case, your pitching could use some work. It really depends on your league and its settings.

yeah, you're all offense and no pitching. I would trade off some of those big bats for a solid starting pitcher. You have 3 of the top 10 outfielders in baseball. You could definitely stand to trade one of them off for a top 10 pitcher.

Your offense is top flight. You have guys who hit for average and for power. You also have great sources for steals. Your offense will have to help carry your pitching. I'm not sure that Musder still has it. I hope you are counting on Papelbon as a starter, and not for saves. Overall, I see a contender.

You basically have the best team you can get. The only weak spots are Marte and Mulder, but everyone else is great. This is a great team and you will do well with them.

Your fielding is a little suspect, your without much small ball, and your pitching is somewhat iffy. If all pans out 8; if not 6.

GREAT bats, HORRIBLE pitching. You will get alot of offensive points but your pitching is not good at all. I would suggest trading Manny for great arm.
