I found the biggest thing would be rivera since in my league a single save is worth 10 points.

Please RATE. Only add suggestions if you really think they will help my team.

Answer 1

Your team is not very good at all. Your outfield is horrible with the exception of Soriano. Your shortstop and third base positions are weak as well. Crede is much better than Mora. Hermida might never make it in the pros, he is an iffy pick.

Your pitching is decent. Sheets is good but very injury prone so he is questionable. Capuano is an ok second pitcher as is randy johnson but neither will have dominating stuff this year. I like Rivera to have a big year but you dont have another reliever beside him. If a save is worth 10 points you should have picked at least 2 more starting relief pitchers. Rogers will not have the same success as last year and Mulder is nothing without Zito and Hudson at his side. Overall a 6.5.

Answer 2

no offense, but did u fall asleep in the draft? ive missed a draft last year and had a much better team auto drafted for me. Minus soriano and reyes ur position players are subpar, to put it nicely. I woulda expected u to draft holladay zambrano nathan santana peavy oswalt to compensate for ur offense, but it seems like this team wont get far. 3 closers u should have avoided were huston street trevor hoffman and rivera, because they are injury prone/getting worse each year. Better relievers such as francisco rodriguez joe nathan BJ ryan Billy wagner woulda been an ideal choice. Overall, id give this team a 3. If in order to win this league it called for the most injury prone teamever, with the addition of mark prior/kerry wood/jd drew, You would win in a land slide. Mariano Rivera was injured, as was Mulder, alongside Randy Johnson, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, and those guys are ur anchor. U should drafted younger talent such as peavy young bonderman, and infielders such as gordon utley wright cabrera, and some better outfielders such as Sizemore Beltran Lee Wells Suzuki. While your head is in the right place, your knowledge of fantasy baseball is not, sad to say. Sorry if I sound harsh, but id be surpised if you do better than 6th place. Good luck if you plan on rebuilding your team.

Answer 3

Great looking team, your pitching staff I'd give an 8.5 out of 10. Aside from the obvious studs, I think Mike Gonzalez could have a nice year, same goes for Ben Sheets returning from injury. If you don't mind me throwing in my 2 cents for a suggestion I'd say this. With Alfonso Soriano, Jose Reyes, and Luis Castillo on your team, I think you'll be in good shape for stolen bases. That said, I'd bet you could drop Scott Podsednik for a better hitter. I know Scotty Po is attractive due to his speed, but I think you got it elsewhere. Drop him and grab yourself a better stick. Overall 9 outta 10 team... Well drafted.

Answer 4

Good solid team but I have a lot of suggestions for you.

Move Randy Johnson from P to SP and get Chris Capuano. That was probably your worst move putting Capuano as one of your starters.

Also, take Mariano Rivera and put him in RP because he is the third best RP in the MLB, so why isn't he at his rightful spot?

I just have one question for you: How did you get the 3rd and 4th round pick together on 1 team?

Answer 5

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 6

I'd say a 7. You did a good job of drafting your lineup, but your pitching sucks. Try to trade Guillen for a good starting pitcher. Also consider looking for another 1B to have on your bench. You've got Giambi and Garciaparra who should be fine until they get injured. If there is a good 1B on the free agent list, pick him up.

Answer 7

I would give it a 6 -7. Your weaknesses are power and starting pitching. You really need a front-line starter - RJ is a risk and Vasquez will be challenged.

Answer 8

You have no closer other than rivera, you're relying a lot on the Brewers pitching staff, not much depth either on offense...

Answer 9

on a scale of 1-10, 7.5

i think you could add a few bats and get you another Closer (especially that a saves is 10 pts)

Answer 10

Rating: 9.9/10
nice team
