That is a very, very strong team. Apart from the fact that you expect Robinson Cano to play SS and 2B at the same time(or did I read that wrong?) Offense is solid. Your starting pitching is insane. How you ended up with Prior, Oswalt, Peavy, Pedro AND Santana is beyond me although I suspect you probably sacrificed a closer. Foulke is a huge question mark and even when he was healthy he didn't get a lot of saves( or save oppertunities) he has 32 for 39 in '04. try to trade one of your stud pitchers for a a top closer and a second lesser one. God luck and thanks for your advice on my team!

typo sorry...I have Lugo at SS


thanks for your response

I was actually thinking of trading Oswalt for a top OF..you think I need closer more? I got 3 and I think that's enough saves

You've got Cabrera and Dunn in the outfield and pods. Not too shaby. However you plan on relying on Foulke (who i have alreay discussed) Turnbow who has had one good year and the closer for the royals. Seriously i wouldn't be so confident. You have aquired the top 5 SP in the game. Other teams will be eager to trade you a top closer for one of your hoarded starting superstars.

A top outfielder, one with power would make you very hard to beat. You can trade two of your aces and still have 3 left over. On principal i try to draft guys that play for contenders, they'll put up better numbers on a strong team. right now your guys play for teams like the Reds, The Marlins, The Brewers...... So make sure this top outfielder is pretty much a sure thing.
