anyone?

You may want to pick up another 3B or trade for one because Mcpherson is an injury risk and he may not pan out.

is there any piece of my team you see that is expandable for a 3b? with 25 players/roster, there isn't much left on the free agent market...

[bullocmt]

u in trouble

[The Big Papi]

u in trouble

ooook do you wanna elaborate a bit?

I think its a pretty good team, but with the settings so specific, i can't really tell where i'm strong/weak....

[coachdino]

I also think you are in alot of trouble. Your infield is week except for Pujols. Your o.f. is pretty good. I am a big Peavy fan, but your pitching staff is also weak. I don't see you finishing in the top half of your league

[The Big Papi]

wow, I saw it completly opposite.

But thats why i'm askin for other opinions lol

The way I looked at my team was that my pitching is real good with: Peavy/Perez leading the rotation, then clement getting wins, buehrle pretty solid, and kolb and looper doing ok in saves. The infield I didn't think was too great either, but pujols/edmonds/sheff is pretty good power too have, with patterson getting some bags.

Commish is in need of a OF, i was thinking of offering up edmonds/crosby for his young/bay.

Any suggestions on how to fix this squad?
