i don't know about the $ paid for Howard, but the offense could be good IF all your guys stay healthy, and i don't see how that can be with ALou, Griffey, Floyd, and Javy Lopez. Would be nice to have more SVs, too. Not too bad.

[CheeseBeger]

Yeah, I tried to get saves but the closers were going for lots of money, and with 18 ppl there are less than 2 closers per person. I figured with Gonzalez, Weathers, and Borowski with Hansen possibly getting the job this season I would turn out ok.

And with Howard I had missed out on alot of the young studs that were going for 50+ so I decided to splurge
