You've got some great ones and you've got some guys I hate.
Pudge is great. I don't like Bret Boone. There's a very good chance all his power came from the juice. I'd replace him (or at least get a damned good backup) quick. Beltre is more of a gamble than people think. Furcal will pick up a nice number of steals. Ordonez is a risk, but I think he'll work out. Sheffield's knees will go before the season is out. I'd look to trade him around the all-star break (that's about when I think his knees wil go). Abreu is a nice, under-the-radar, but still elite guy.
You pitching is nice and deep. Be careful about Drese, because the Rangers' ballpark will destroy his ERA. Clement is a nice pickup and a big-time sleeper. Willis is off to a strong start. Nathan and Foulke are fantastic. They each could get 45 saves. Graves is a gamble. Mesa was very lucky last year. If he struggles, drop him.
