First post, just a little roster help

[lpsevier]

Just found this forum (thanks to Google) and it seems to be a great place. I've read through alot of posts and there seems to be some great ideas/information being shared.

That being said I wonder if you guys could give me a little roster advice. I'm concerned that my pitching staff has three A's on it, and what else offensively should I look to upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

Standard Cat 12 team H2H

1B - M. Teixeira
2B - R. Weeks
3B - M. Ensberg
SS - J. Lugo
OF - J. Bay
OF - L. Berkman

I wouldn't worry too much about the three pitchers on the same team. The A's should be pretty decent so long as Milton Bradley doesn't corrupt them all. The only thing I can see that would need some improvement is the OF. Bay should be fine, but Griffey will get hurt at some point, and who knows with Berkman. Berkman is good, but I just dont trust him to not blow his knee out. And is he even going to be ready for the season? Francoeur is a good replacement, but second year guys can struggle.

agreed... plus you also might want to be wary of ensberg... i'm not sure why but i have this feeling that last season was an anamoly. your pitching staff looks competitive though, well balanced up and down.

Agree with above. Pitching should be fine. Griffey injury prone but when he goes down hopefully Francouer will be ale to step in.
I'm also not sold on Ensberg.

Do you think the players I have on the Bench now should stay there? If I wanted to get rid of Berkman/Ensberg who do you think I should go after?

Thanks for the replies!

Pretty good lineup! Agree w/ everyone else,.Don't worry about 3 A's pitchers,they'll be fine!!!! Really like Berkman ,wouldn't trade.
If you get rid of Ensberg try for 2 for 1 deal: Ensberg for Glaus and a lesser player. I like Glaus up in Toronto and Ensberg may be overrated(not sold on him yet).Glaus is a pretty sure bet. If you have doubts about ensberg I 'd try to trade him while his value is at a premium!!!!
