Intelligent responses only, I'm looking for grades and ideas for improvement.

it's a 12 team H2H draft.

Answer 1

Nice looking team, You have a B+ for power, with Fielder, and both Ramirez boys. The bulk of your SB's will come from Johnny Damon with maybe a bit more from Guillen and Patterson now. I think Cuddyer is a nice player to have around. Maybe you can pick up someone like a sleeper who can bring in some RBI's???? Like an Adam LaRoche, or Ty Wigginton, or Jeff Franoceur kinda guy??

Pitching is quite solid too. Santana, best in the biz. Schmidt is a personal fav. of mine, nice choice. CC and Ervin could both have HUGE years, especially Ervin. Millwood could be a dropper for someone who comes on at the start of the season, you won't miss out on him. Wainwright, I'm not sure how he'll be used, but nice move having him. I like having Street and Fuentes. Valverde, we'll see. The starters look like an A - and the Relievers mabe a B. Keep your eyes out for who gets hot and don't be afraid to part ways with Cuddyer, Millwood, or Valverde.

HAVE FUN, good luck!

c- pudge is back to old form will perfom great with shefff in the lineup
1b- prince will get ya 30 homers this year good young player
2b- cantu is underrated and will go back to his form from 2 years ago before he got hurt
3b- aram will kill this yera with soriano and lee in the lineup for protection
ss- guillen coming off a monster year expect a lil drop off but overall solid
of- manny is well manny
of- damon will bag ya 20 sb or so and 20+homers due to short porch in right at yanks stadium
of- patterson great player will get ya 15-20 homers hit for average and get ya 30 or so stolen bases

Answer 3

Your middle infield is unproven/injury prone. For second base, I'd suggest keeping an eye on Howie Kendrick, who's available in a number of leagues and is slated to have a great year. Cantu will decimate your batting average. At SS, I like Carlos Guillen, but his bones are made of glass. I would suggest that you keep an eye on Troy Tulowitski (sp.) if he is still available, and a further stretch: Stephen Drew. He's still a year or so away, but it doesn't hurt to watch and let things pan out. Other than that, plenty of power, plenty of speed, great pitching staff.
