Great team. Awesome that Miggy fell to you at 6. I think your team has great balance, in terms of power, speed and pitching. Solid IF, should provide good power. You have some power and a lot of speed in your OF which should help you contend for SB. Love your pitching staff too. Overall I'd say a 9/10.
I do like Nishioka this year, but all 3 are sleeper candidates. I think their position in the lineup hints towards what we can expect from each at least in the beginning of the year. Nishioka's batting 2nd for the Twins, so he'll have Mauer, Morneau, Young, and Kubel following him, so I'd expect decent avg and SB's, as well as runs. Morse is batting later in the Nationals order, I'd guess 5th or 6th, behind Werth, Zimmerman, and Laroche, so I see alot more opportunities for power and RBI. I don't know as much about Encarnacion, but I believe he has similar opportunities as Morse. I think Morse probably has more upside, and has also been hitting the ball like crazy this spring, so I'd probably either drop Encarnacion for Nishioka or just leave it as is
Like this team a lot. OF may be a weak spot if Swisher doesn't reproduce his year this year and if Bruce doesn't take another step up. But if they do you should be good there. Very good starting staff and if Venters gets the closing role 100% then you have yourself an absolute stud.
Really nice team. Your OF is solid and can be great if Bruce continues to develop. Your SP has a nice front end and a very dependable backend. Agreed on Venters.
I like your team a lot in a 12 team league. Miggy at 6 is great; he's the closest guy in the league to Pujols.
I'm not huge on Prado, but at 2B he's not going to kill you. You can certainly win a league with him there, even if he's not going to be the one to win it for you. Any chance you can get Raburn? He'd be great insurance for you, and could fill in your OF a bit too. If Raburn starts a little slow, he might be worth trying to trade for on the cheap, or grabbing off of ww if he gets dropped.
I'm not a huge fan of your U, or of Swisher. They should be okay, but you may need to upgrade a little bit there. But if Bourn and Torres start off well, then you'll be in good shape.
I love your pitching. I think your SP 1-7 should stand up to any other team in the league. It's very solid. Your RP is a little shakier, but if your top three can hold their closer role you'll be in great shape.
If Venters is getting saves early in the season he may be worth moving. Unless he outright grabs the closer role, if it looks like Kimbrel is still getting the opps then you might want to sell high on Venters. If you can move him along with Swisher for an upgrade at OF I would do that in a heartbeat.
