Other than obvious, you won't win BA especially with Dunn in the lineup. Baldelli is solid if he can play all year for once. Pat the Bat usually starts out hot until every pitcher in baseball figures out that he can't hit a curve ball this year either. Swisher can't hit for power against LHP. Matthews and Francoeur have had 1 good year so they both need to back it up. Roberts is your only real SB threat and since you have pretty much given up the BA category that is 2 that you won't win if you are in a 5x5 roto.
You may want to restructure your pitching a little, Wang is already hurt but he is also not that good. He won games because he had the highest run support in MLB last year. Since holds is a category you might increase your holds by picking up another RP that will help your ERA and WHIP as well. Most likely, even in a 8 team league the usual suspects are gone - Broxton, Zumaya, Soriano, Gonzalez. There is one that has been avoided, Turnbow. He is still young and still thought of as the closer of the future so they may try to get him back in the saddle this year as a closer but until then may provide you with more holds. If his mechanics are still off, it will obvious from the start that they will put him back in the closer role but if he is on, look for his return as closer around May.
Unless this is a keeper league, Liriano will not pitch until probably June of 2008. You might still get Pedro and put him on the DL, he should be able to pitch in Mid July this year.

Solid, but I'd start Swisher and bench Francouer. If at all possible, try to sell Matthews high right now, if it's even possible. He may not even play this year, and even if he does, the steroids that helped him last year will not be there to help him out...
The most impressive part of your team is your pitching staff, particularly your starters. Zambrano is so underrated and I LOVE trading bigger name players for him in my leagues, although he consistently puts up better numbers in nearly all categories. Dice-K is a great risk and Verlander only showed everyone a small taste of what is yet to come. Despite the long recovery ahead for Liriano, no other pitcher in baseball, sans Santana, has a bigger upside when he's healthy.

certainly a 5 out of 10 could be a extreme because it gets. there is the flair to steer the league in batting accepted and you will actual lead the league in stolen bases however the shortcoming of power is substantive which additionally skill the rbi's won't come as actual. The pitching is a extensive wildcard. Santana and Sheets are coming off of massive injuries. Harden continuously gets harm and Zambrano continuously has an "if" linked to his call.

Ouch, batting average. Francour andDunn will bury your team BA, as would Swisher and Burrell if you used them off the bench. Not enough speed in your lineup either. Plenty of pop and pitching, though. Pending the continuation of the Curse of Pujols on Brad Lidge, solid relief as well. Overall, a good team, a fantasy "Murderers Row", but maybe trade one of your many power hitters for a good leadoff man like Corey Patterson.

This is a 7. You need SB bad-I think you will end up starting Baldelli if he is healthy-he might give you 25HR and 25 SB.
Otherwise your offense looks very good.
Pitching wise- I would drop one of your starters-my choice would be Wang (he is hurt and in 200+ innings last year he only struck out 75-a horrible number-you can do better)-and then pick up another set-up man. That will help you in WHIP, ERA, K's, and Holds
