Go to battel with these guys?????

[Klutch]

Hey, just wanted some opinions if I should go to battle with these guys or try and make some pre-season moves. I think I have excenlt balance in my lineup with players that can contribute in numerous categories. My bench is good in case of injury, and I will prob switch those guys in and out with wilkerson depending on hot and coldness of players. My closers are solid as well IMO. My SP is where I take a hit but I have 2 solid SP if healthy. What are your thoughts. 10 team H2H 5X5 non-keeper leauge.

Hey, how come nobody is showing me any love.

Here you go. I really like Doug Davis, I have him and he has great ratios. I like your IF a lot, but you should trade to try and upgrade at OF. Wilk. is good but trade Dunn or Blaylock, for a top tier OF and move Wilk to util!

Come on guys, help a brotha out here. I reviewed 5-6 teams yesterday and all I get is one response.

I am dissapointed not to mention i sent 8 people my cheat sheets the other day.

Solid Lineup, I think Wilkerson stinks but the rest of the lineup is pretty diesel. Keep an eye out for pitching because I think your second tier Starters and Closers are going to need replacing before too long. Great pick with Haren too. I'm pretty high on him as well. Looked nasty in the playoffs... Would you rather have Tad Iguchi or Clint Barmes at 2B? Regarding my team...

ur offense looks real good. balance everywhere. wilkerson and dunns average might hurt alittle, but if the two of them steal a few bags i think it offsets that, plus all ur other hitters have always had solid averages so i dont think it will take that much of a hit. hopefully smoltz elbow hold up, he has looked nasty this spring. im not sold on the rest of ur sp, but willis haren and williams all have a high ceiling and alot of potential

[Blind Squirrels]

I'm not sold on the OF. Who else is out on the wire? Solid 1st tier SP and RP, 2nd tier is a little shakey, but you can always wait for the inevitable injury or benching and grab the next guy in line.

[raiders_umpire]

offense is great, closers are real good, but your starting pitching is less than adequate...... i think u might have enough power on your team so offer up adam dunn for maybe a czam or ollie to improve your rotation......

[rajah]

agree with trying to upgrade outfield. Caveat = I have not done H2H leagues, but I would also be concerned about Figgins pt when Kennedy returns. If he gets enough at his various positions, that might be okay, but it doesn't look like you have that covered in the event that he sits very much.

Also, suggest that you try to trade Kolb for an upgrade to SP. I think Kolb is out of a job by Father's Day because he's just not good, AND if Smoltz wears down, maybe they move him back to the pen. This presents all kinds of options for you to consider.

Good luck.

those soldiers. Smoltz is looking great in Spring Training. He pitched 14 strait scoreless innings. Your offense is spiffy also.
