my first draft of the season: for your approval

[matdemos]

its a 10 team h2h, standard 5x5

C Posada
1B Hafner
2B Utley
3B ARod
SS MYoung
OF Sheffield
OF CPatterson
OF CarlosLee
Util JMorneau
Util GAnderson
Bench AJones
Bench BCrosby
Bench EndyChavez
Bench TIguchi

so i'm thinking i'm really weak in steals (hence Endy) but pretty solid in terms of power and runs. BA seems, well, average. there are no good SB players on the FA so i guess i will have to trade or punt. should i drop Iguchi, and if so, for what kind of player? (Eckstein, Erstad, Jenkins, Grissom, Lugo are some names on the FA)

SP Prior
SP Hudson
SP OPerez
RP DBaez
RP MAdams
P Maddux
P Weaver
P JSpeier
Bench Urbina
Bench Glavine
Bench JWilliams
Bench PByrd

so my closers suck, basically on purpose (the idea sounded so logical at the time)....my questions here are, 1) how many starters/closers to play in the plain P spots, and how many of each to keep on the bench? (i know it's probably just personal preference, but i've never been sure of myself)...and 2) should i drop any starters for: Drese, Hampton, Trachsel, Webb, Lowry, Tomko, Washburn, or Cliff Lee?


thanks for your help and insight, even if you don't read all the writing

nice team, not bad at all. i would pick up lugo off the ww for sure. he is a sleeper. i wouldnt be that worried about speed, copat will provide 30 and dont underestimate carlos lee. i watched him closely and loved him as a whitesock...he can swipe ya 20 if milwakee lets him run.
