Answer 1

Mediocre infield except for Konerko.
Very good outfield.
Starting pitching is a bit rough. A few guys are expected to break out. If they do, you're fine.
Very good relief pitching.

It's too tough to give your team a number rating without knowing the actual categories you're playing.

13. (154) Michael Barrett C--In a 12-team league, he's a good enough catcher. Very good 2006. Can he repeat in 2007?
6. (63) Paul Konerko 1B--Solid--top-5 1B. Fielding may be a weakness.
9. (106) Josh Barfield 2B--A lot of upside...young and developing and in a very strong line-up.
16. (183) Jorge Cantú 2B--Good call getting 2B insurance
17. (202) Ryan Freel 2B,3B,OF--Great value in the 17th round
14. (159) Chad Tracy 3B--Not bad, but 3B is so deep
10. (111) Bobby Crosby SS--Let's see if this is his break-out year. He was a pre-season AL MVP pick last year
1. (10) Carlos Beltrán OF--Stud...All categories! Including fielding.
2. (15) Ichiro Suzuki OF--Probably very good for your league...speed, batting average, and fielding.
3. (34) Vernon Wells OF--Great 3rd outfielder...your outfield is really tough.
19. (226) Chris Duffy OF--We'll see how legit he as in 2006. Pittsburgh is still a weak team.

4. (39) Roy Halladay SP--Very good top pitcher.
8. (87) Aaron Harang SP--I've seen several sources expecting a breakout year.
18. (207) Dave Bush SP--Same...I've seen several sources expecting a break-out year. Milwaukee could really surprise people this year.
11. (130) Chien-Ming Wang SP--He is not a power pitcher...if your league values that, he's over-rated. Expect a higher ERA and fewer wins this year (I'm a Yankees fan, so I'm not hating on the best franchise in sports)
20. (231) Adam Wainwright RP--Starting this year. We'll see how he makes the transition.
21. (250) Nate Robertson SP--Value pick. I'm surprised he lasted to 250. He's not a stud, but he's in a pitcher's park and he's better than 250th.
5. (58) Mariano Rivera RP--Year in, year out elite. Elite. If healthy, expect normal production.
7. (82) Bobby Jenks RP--He's a very good closer, but Ozzie Guillen has expressed frustration that he's not ready for the year. It has been a rough spring. Monitor this situation (especially with McDowell in the pen)
12. (135) Brian Fuentes RP--Good one. Just 'cuz he plays in Colorado doesn't mean the man can't pitch.
15. (178) Joel Zumaya RP--You'll get K's. You'll get era and WHIP. If you're playing holds, this is very good. If not, you're okay, but hope for a hex on Todd Jones.

Good luck.

Answer 2

You have a killer OF with Power, AVG., and RBI. Konerko is a good option at 1B. You have two of the top 10-20 pitchers with Halladay and Harang. I like your two picks of Bush, and Wainwright. Those two should break out in a big way this year.

There are a few things I don't like...You are a bit light when it comes to 2B, 3B, SS and C. Chien-Ming Wang will get you wins but thats about it. I would probably drop/trade 1 or 2 of your RPs and try and find a few more bats especially in the positions I said earlier. It all depends on who is in waivers.

But all things considering it is a pretty solid team. Especially in a 12 team league.

Answer 3

Looking at your team I must say that I am quite impressed. It is obvious to me that you must be very experienced and possess a great deal of baseball savvy. Your team is among the finest that I have seen this season and I commend you on your choices.
You have assembled a team with a great mix of speed and power, as well as a very solid pitching staff. Although there may be some injury concerns, the depth that you have built into this team is extraordinary. You appear headed to victory and a very satisfying season.
If you haven't done so, I suggest that you look into the possibility of making this more than a hobby. You certainly have some keen insights on the way a baseball team is assembled.
Good Luck!

Answer 4

in case you prefer my easy opinion, im no longer gonna get maximum suitable answer. your going to grant maximum suitable answer to whoever says "wow ur group is a 10/10 so good omg i such as you". properly, I could be easy, your group is probable going to be combating to stay away from ultimate place on your league. prince fielder is truthfully super, yet ur following couple of possibilities have been questionable. crawford is physically powerful for popular and steals, yet no longer lots else. mags is truthfully good too, yet thats approximately it. polanco is a a million stat guy, johjima is a nil stat guy, lowell is becoming older, renteria has by no ability been that super plus he's becoming older. your pitching group has smoltz, hudson, then rubbish. rafael soriano is physically powerful, yet you have purely like 4 good gamers on your group. my group in a 12 guy league has a-rod, bj upton, garrett atkins, curtis granderson, bobby abreu, hideki matsui on offense, which might truthfully wreck yours. my pitching group contains john lackey, fracisco liriano, james shields, this is extra appropriate than yours too. im no longer purely attempting to gloat, yet i'm hoping your league is a sixteen guy league in any different case your no longer winning something except you sign this years ryan braun
