I think your rotations is great, Escobar as #4 and Bonderman as #5 is as solid as it gets at the bottom. Obviously, you need a better catcher, maybe Lieb, Barret, or Hernandez are still on the wire?
I like the speed your infield has, A-Rod, Rollins, and Figgins (assuming he gets enough pt) could steal you 90 bases this year between them. Your outfield is obviously fast, but you need some power there, obviously. Since you have so much speed already, I would try to get a big bat out there, maybe a Sheffield or Dunn to give you some homerun power. Other than that, good job.
I think you need more pitching. You cant use all those bench hitters but you can use pitching. I would drop somebody like Hillebrand and pick another quality starter. Or i would trade your some of your hitters for pitching
Thanks for all your posts. I did end up with a boat load of steals. Ramon Hernandez is still available in the wire, but I am really liking Inge this year. I think he is going to shock everyone. I think Figgins is going to stay in the starter spot. With Kennedy on the DL and aging, I think Kennedy will find himself in the backup role for the remainder of the season. I have been trying to get some more power and have offered up Pierre a number of times but nobody seems to want him.
