I think you have drafted a good pitching staff, for a roto league I think you will do fine, you have guys who can hit, steal, score runs, etc, you will be fine, and guys like Wigginton could have a break out year.

[dnelms]

Looks like you havea bullpen by committee with no big strong closer, but the number you do have could keep you in the middle of points for saves. If it were me, I'd shoot for maybe replacing an OF (thru trade, not waivers) and seeking a more consistent RP.

Agree with dnelms. You have good BA, but Burnitz can be a real drag. Swisher will be a BA killer if you play him. As to RP, I don't know which Cordero you have - if it's Chad, you do need more help. If it's Francisco, I think you will be fine, and maybe you have an excess in that case that you can work into a trade (Takatsu ?).

Good luck.

i have francisco cordero. i defintely agree burnitz is going to be a wash, I don't know what i was thinking when i drafted him. Another OF with a strong bat would be nice to replace him. time to start thinking about a trade option. with the strength of my relief system, who do you think i SHould shop first?

[dnelms]

I would not trade any relievers right now... unless you get a mid-level back. I mean Borowski is out 6 weeks already and there is no guarantee that Hawkins gets the closers role. Having. F Cordero instead of C. Cordero is a much better look for your relievers. I'd still go after another OF, but not as the expense of your relievers.
