Your team is ok, but it lacks greatness. You have decnet numbers on offense, but aren't overpowering because you lack avergae and are probably below average of speed also. Your relief pitching is great, but your starting pitchers all seem about 1 pick behind where you'd hope they would be. I doubt this team will contend for the league victory, but it's not terrible. I think if I were you, I'd try to capitalize on my 4 closers and trade one away for an offensive upgrade.

I like your team a little bit better than mythrabbit. I think your have good power and should be at the top if Thome can return to form. Average should be there thanks to guys like Kendall, Guerrero and Sizemore. If Beltran can hit in the upper .200's I like your chances there. Speed is going to rely on Freel, Beltran and Sizemore. I think you live or die by Beltran there. Depends on how much he feels like running, and if the Mets are going to give him the green light. His leg was hurt for much of last year, so who knows if that had to do with his lack of SB's. I don't think the Mets are like the Sox in that they try not to let their guys steal as Reyes will rack up the SB this season. I like your young guys in Hermida and Fielder. If they can produce, you will be set of offense. Your SP looks a little weak, but you have some guys with huge upside. If Felix can give you ace-like numbers you should be fine. Santana and Escobar are two guys that I really like going into this season. YOur Rp looks good, though I might drop Weathers or see if anyone will take him off your hands. Overall, you should be near the top and with some luck (or production from your young guys), you could win this league.
