This is in a 12 team keeper league where we can keep up to 5 next year at the expense of when we drafted them this year. I absolutely love this team, especially considering some of the bargains here. The only 2 weaknesses that I can see are a lack of speed and a shaky bullpen. This offense seems dominant and I love the depth of my staff. It is a 6X6 league with the extra cats being TB and CG. Fire away.

I like it, but I agree you need more speed....since theres complete games as a stat Livan was a great pick

[raiders_umpire]

team looks great for a h2h league... you got plenty of power with your offense and your SP is more than competitive..... you will struggle in steals and saves, but your HRs, TB, rbis, k's, cg's and wins should be great every week.... very solid team and should easily compete for the championship as well.... and you have 3 "steals" in your outfield for next year imo....

[Lofunzo]

and you have 3 "steals" in your outfield for next year imo....

I agree. It will depend on who everyone else keeps but I think that I will be letting Helton go next year. If I had to name my keepers now, I would say that they will be:

DEFINITES
Tex (3)
Dunn (7)
Berkman (9)

POSSIBLES
Santana (2)
Hudson (4)
Matsui (6)
Wright (8)

Either way, I think that I will have some great values here. The potential problem is that if everyone else just keepes their top 5 picks, My 1st round pick in lieu of Helton could potentially be a 6th rounder.

Young, Matsui, Gonzalez and Tsao were steals by the round you chose them. Like others have said, speed is the issue and saves to an extent. You've got plenty to work with, not much to fix and definite keepers. And I can't get enough of your sig.
