The stats that count are R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP. Now the real question is, "Is this team worth $50.00?" Someone dropped out of a league and it is $50.00 to get this team, where the top 4 get money back. Can this team finish top 4? Any imput would be useful. Thanks

[bosoxbw]

yes, top 4 is certainly a possibility

[es02609]

Top 4 is doable, is first doable? Also, what kind of trading/upgrading should I be doing, I am kind of new at this stuff. Thanks,

Justin

[es02609]

anyone else?

[dodgerfan828]

is this a keeper league?

[es02609]

hello,

No this is not a keeper league but from what I hear they do it every year so it "could" turn into one. Thanks,

Justin

Teams 5, 6, and 7 I think are the favorites for this league, or at least the winners from the draft. Your team can compete but has a couple problems I would try to correct... Kaz Matsui sucks and Chase Utley should be playing everyday. I would try to trade Jeff Kent for a SS if you can get equal value and then put Utley at 2B. Also, I would drop Brad Penny and pickup another RP, a CL if there is one available (I think Mike Adams is on the WW if I didn't miss him; he is CL for Milwaukee and Miguel Batista; CL for TOR). The 3rd closer is better than the ailing bicep of Brad Penny.

GL, rate my team.

Man do you have a strong bench. Giles, Utley, Winn, McPherson. You have major cards to help you make a deal. I agree you should upgrade at SS, and try to find a RP better than Wickman. Giles and Utley mostly.

[es02609]

Here are some changes since my orginal post.
My team:
added: M. Adams, N. Lowry
dropped: B. Lawrence, B. Penny
I am currently tring to deal Kent for a SS, who should I be looking at? Also should I try to upgrade more at RP(trade wickman) or do you think that type of trade would fly? Thanks,

Justin
