Answer 1

Really nice looking. Great job. Your infield looks nice from Catcher thru the infielders.... I like the power in the OF with Wells and Ordonez. Arod, Wells and Roberts will load you up for SB's. Hitters look like around a 9/10.

Pitching is decent too. Harang is nice, Verlander could be nice if he pitches another good season like last time too. Ervin Santana, and definitely Chuck James are GREAT sleepers this year. Great job picking them too. RP look good too, KRod is the man.

Only issue is that Wang is going to be out at least one month. If you are able, pop him on your DL so you can keep him and open a roster spot. Pickup someone like Brad Penny for some wins on a good team (LAD) and plenty o' K's, or another sleeper w/ Hensley.

Answer 2

10

Answer 3

I think that your team is pretty good. I'd probably rate them an 8/10. You could use some RP help and possibly another OF. I would probably try to pick up Robertson and Penny by dropping Vizquel and Iwamura. Overall, really good team.

Answer 4

ok lets go player for player
c- johjima is top 5 catcher
1b- fielder could hit 30 or could hit soph slump i like the first one lol
2b- weeks could be great with one season under belt but could also hit soph slump
3b- arod anyone better??? i beg to differ
ss- jeter great 5x5 stat categoy tool stud in almost every category
of- wells will have monstrous 40 homer year with thomas, glaus, and rios in lineup for protection
of- maggs will have great year with sheff in that lineup for protection
of- byrnes good for 20 homers and some sb but not alot
util- thomas( see wells)
util- roberts good for 40+ steals and thats it
bn- iguchi good for 15 homers 75 rbis and .290 average
bn- iwamura is unknown
bn- jones depends if he even plays or not but could produce off bench just as well
bn- vizquel gettin old but good for steals

sp- harang innings eater and good for 5 complete games
sp- wang no good fantasy value besides win and era
rp- krod is just that lol he will snag most saves in majors this year
rp- otsuka good for holds but not gonna close due to gagne
p- verlander will get ya 200k if healthy
p- santana good for 16 wins and 180 k
p- torres good for no more than 25 saves in pitt
bn- chuck james great sleeper expect 12-16 wins this yera outa him

your team is overall good balance of power and speed
your rotation could use another good pitcher like clay hensley or adam wainwright or possibly jeremy sowers
and your bench get rid of vizquel and go for a chris duncan, ty wigginton, jonny gomes, or a adrian gonzalez

hope i helped
goodluck and have fun!!!

Answer 5

Your pitching seems like your weak spot, as I imagine Wang and Verlander won't have nearly as good of years as they had in 06. If you could trade Thomas for a more solid pitcher, I would.

Answer 6

a 6 and a half
