Answer 1

okay bro check it.....

c- Michael Barret....Barrett hit 16 HR for the third time in three years, though he did it in just 375 ABs in '06. He also had a career-high .302 average and .885 OPS. A foul ball off his nether-regions ended his year on September 2, but he'll be okay for spring. In a league bereft of consistent fantasy catchers, he's solid....good for 15-20/70/.300 which are rather excellent numbers for a catcher....
1b- Richie Sexson.........How'd this guy hit 34 HR and 107 RBI last year? Better yet, how'd he hit .264? Sexson struggled through a terrible first 2.5 months, hitting .205 on June 18. Thereafter, he hit .311 with 23 dingers. Seattle tried to trade him, but he's still a slugger, with an .842 OPS in a bad year. He's always a good value in the long run.....saying this the seattle offense has improved some what and sexson is poised for another really good year so he shouold get you about 40/120/.270 and thats good enough.....
2b- Howie Kendrick.....Kendrick is as swing-happy as Bob, Carol, Ted and Alice, but he has elite B.A. skills, solid power and some speed. He's hungry, hard-working, and he has the Angels' starting job.....expect to get 20/70/.310 and 16 stolen bases as well.....
3b- Ryan Freel.....Freel gets on base and steals a lot, but he has very poor power for an outfielder in shallow leagues. He's past 30 and he is somewhat brittle, so what you see is what you get.....and what you will end up getting is about 6/30/.280 and close to 40 stolen bases....
ss- Edgar Renteria.....As long as the Braves don't return to Boston, Edgar's bounce-back is for real. Count on him for numbers across the board, but don't expect elite levels in any category. .....20/80/.300 and 15 stolen bases as well for renteria who has a resurgence since playing out in boston.........
of- Juan Pierre....Speed kills when you don't have it. Pierre offers elite SB and solid BA every year, and his runs bounce back after a season on the jinxed Cubs of '06. As a mid-tier OF1 in NL, or OF2 in Mixed, he guarantees you can ignore steals for a while. May be undervalued after perceived so-so year.......last year had 203 hits and dont expect those numbers to go down either.....look for him to give you numbers in the area of 3/40/.295 and get ya around 55 stolen bases as well.....
of- Wily Taveras.......Steals make Taveras a more valuable fantasy commodity than his hitting might otherwise indicate, but then, he's also a really good defensive centerfielder. A lock for at least 40 SB, Fast Willy needs to improve his career OBP of .329 to climb out of the Scot Podsednik school of ugly leadoff men.....saying that...look for him to give you 3/50/.270 and steal ya about 56 stolen bases as well out in colorado.....
of- Carlos Beltran.....Beltran is one of the top power/speed players in the game and in his prime. Even with Shea's negative effects, he will hit better at home this year than last so expect a slight rebound in BA. He's also announced to the world that he'd like to get back to his old base-stealing habits for the run-happy Mets. adn he has the same protection as right hitting in frotn and behind him so sees alot of good pitches to hit...so you should get thse kinds of numbers out of him 35-40/110/.290 and 30 sb this year......
util- Travis Hafner.....Pronk can anchor an offense, but is oft-discounted for his lack of positional eligibility. Feel free to take advantage. He has 50 homer, 150 RBI upside, and no, two consecutive seasons ended by errent pitches do not make him injury-prone....and he is hitting in an extremely young extremely underrated lineup out in cleveland so expect him to really produce this year and he could be mvp as well...so he should get you about 45-50/140/.315 on the year...
bn- Pedro Feliz.....do you think pedros batting eye getting worse? Success is based on how feared Barry Bonds is by opposing pitchers. Since the answer is Kinda, expect right at 20 HR and a terrible AVG....he is still good due to eligibilty at multiple positions so that raises his value and the fact that he hits 20+ is good look for him to go 20/80/.250 on the year with san fransisco....
bn- Aubrey Huff.....Huff will provide some value in '06 because he'll start with position eligibility at 3B and OF, and play 1B, too. His days as a 30-HR man are frozen in time back in 2003, and his long, loopy swing has always scared people. An .800 OPS season with frustrating slumps is likely.....look for him to contribute to your team about 25/90/.270 and 5 stolen bases as well....
bn- Luis Castillo....At a position with only one truly elite player (Utley), Castillo is part of a large upper-middle class. He's a solid contributor in terms of runs, BA and steals, but he won't carry you in any of those categories. Castillo is like ordering salmon in a nice restaurant. Guaranted to be good, almost impossible to be great.....look for him to give you 3/50/.295 and steal 20+ as well....

as for your pitching rotation......
sp- Jake Peavy.....Bounce-back player of the year candidate. After pitching in the WBC, he never seemed to find his rhythm all year. Watch for renewed focus, especially with Yoda Maddux nearby. SP1 with 200 K in all formats....lol...so saying that means watch him contend for the cy young this year....look for him to post a 14-11 record and era around 3.50 and 210+ strikeouts for him out in san diego with the padres...
sp- CC Sabathia......He's been around forever, but he's only 26 and primed to have a career year or two sometime soon. Can anchor a staff, ravage a buffet table and, with better run support, contend for the Cy Young....with a revamped bullpen in clevalend is on tab to win 17 games this year with an era around 3 and a half on the year
sp- Barry Zito....Remember how everyone treated A-Rod after his contract was signed? Zito doesn't have the makeup to handle that type of criticism. What's more, his numbers won't be that much better than Matt Morris.....look for his record to be about 15-11 with 170 strikeouts and era around 3.90 for the entire year in san francisco.....
rp- Ryan Dempster....All that money the Cubs spent everywhere else, and this guy's still blowing, er, closing games for them. Don't get us wrong: Dempster's accomplished a lot with what he's got. But his career WHIP is 1.55, he blew nine saves in '06, and was replaced down the stretch by Bob Howry. The leash is short....look for him to give you 25 saves and an era around 4 and a half....thats not what you want out of a closer....
rp- octavio dotel is on the dl as of right now....Being the closer for the Royals means few save opportunities. Coming back from Tommy John means ups and downs. The two together mean Dotel should see 20 saves, but you'll hate yourself in the morning.....expect almost exact numbers as dempster right above except even fewer saves....
p- Joe Blanton.... The A's are upset that Blanton has put on weight. We're upset that his repertoire has gone from that of a power pitcher in college, to that of a roto bench player. There's more in the tank for Blanton -- he's got fantasy #3 starter potential -- but draft him as a #5 or #6 fantasy starter in '07.....look for him to give you about 13-12 and era around 4.30 and 160 strikeouts as well....
p- Nate Robertson....Whatever it was that infected Detroit's pitchers in 2006, Robertson had it too. He posted his best major league season, not an unlikely feat at age 29, and offers wins and strikeouts without posing much of a risk to the ratios. Don't reach for him, but he's good middle-of-the-rotation filler......expect the same numbers as joe blanton but a lower era as well....
bn- Claudio Vargas.....Vargas will benefit from getting out of Arizona. His road WHIP in '06 was 1.21 (1.63 at home); his road BAA was .243 (.303 at home). He struck out 123 in 167.2 IP, and is a flyball pitcher, which made him a bad Diamondback. He's Milwaukee's fourth starter, but he could have a surprisingly good year......look for him to have a 10-9 record and k around 150 on the year and era around 4...........
bn- Oliver Perez....The Mets may be desperate enough to let Perez try to reclaim his past form while starting for them, but you aren't. The Ks aren't worth the Jon-Favreau-Post-Swingers-sized ERA and WHIP....not even worth putting up numbers because he wont do good at all...
dl- Freddy Garcia....Drop in K's and rise in hits over last three seasons, but the move to the NL should fix some of that. Freddy wins, slots in as the Phillies No. 2 , and is worth owning in all formats. But unless the K's come back, he's a weak SP2 in NL, decent SP 4 in Mixed. Look elsewhere for ERA and WHIP strength.....16-9 150k and era around 4 for the year

overall your lineup is FAST and has a good mix of power as well i think....you knwo your going to get sb out of kendrick, freel renteria, pierre, taveras, beltran, and castillo and thats more than plenty and you will get the bulk of your power from sexson, renteria, beltran, hafner, and huff, and most of your hitters hit for a good average as well..here is a list of sleepers if you do indeed want to put someone else on your bench...
c- iannetta who could have breakout year
1b- adrian gonzalez who will hit around 30+homers
2b- ty wigginton who can hit the deep ball and is eligible at multiple positions
3b- iwamura who will hit for average
ss- troy tulowitzki will as well have a breakout year at ss in colorado
of- chris duncan will hit around 30 homers this year
of- jonny gomes will hit alot of hw as well if healthy
of- brad hawpe is good for around 20 homers in colorado
util- nick markakis is going to have a stellar year for baltimore this kid is here to stay

and as for your rotatoin you have 3 aces on that staff and the rest are quailty decent starters...as for your rp( theyr non existent) that to me looks like your most glaring weakness......here is a list of sleepers if you want to improve your team
Sp- Jason jennings is going to have a very solid year in houston proving that on his first outing
sp- chuck james who has kept his era this spring around 1 in 5 starts will be stellar in atlanta this year
sp- clay hensley who has a good k rate should do fine in sd if healthy
rp- dan wheeler could close out the year in houston if lidge cant go....
rp- torres could shock alot of people has kept ball down this yera and could save around 30 games
p- wainwright who also has kept era around 1 this spring.......
p- jeremy sowers who proved he could pitch in cleveland last year shall repeat again thsiy ear
p- westbrook is consistent as they come

overall this team needs more rp but other than that quality team

hope i helped
goodluck
and have fun!!!!

Answer 2

You are missing some very important stats. Your team is fast, you have a ton of speed guys, but you are missing alot of pop in your lineup. If you are missing power guys you are losing out on two important stats, homers and RBIs. Try moving some speed guys for a player like Nick Swisher or Adrian Beltre.

Secondly you have no bullpen whatsoever, you need saves and it can help a pitching staff keep a low ERA and get you additional K's. Dotel is injured and is basically worthless even if he is healthy, how many saves are the Royals going to get? And Ryan Dempster I am not sold on at all, he can be really inconsistent. Your starting pitching is solid, but I would really consider dropping Claudio Vargas and Oliver Perez, see if you can find a bargain closer (Jorge Julio or Solomon Torres)

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Id give you a 6.
You have good average, speed, and a few power guys. But, your pitching is weak. Your 3 starters are good but after that, not so much. And unless one of your closers is a star, youll need at least 3. Those 2 guys aren't gonna do it, and you cant count on Dempster to be the closer all year. Wood could be closing games for the Cubs by the All-Star break.
The team has potential though, if you stay on top of the waivers and keep up to date on news, you could pick up a player later on that could put you over the hump.

Answer 4

Do not be yourself down so fast . It really is not that bad . I would rate it a 6.5.

I would trade Dotel, Pierre, and Sexson for Alfonso Soriano and another utility player of your choice

Answer 5

Brandon Inge -3B

Answer 6

about a 6.5
-good average stats
-great speed
-decent pitching
-lacking power

You gotta have power and good pitching, thats always the key.

Answer 7

team-who cares
you as a loser-1000
