Nice offense and very good power. If Beltran doesnt steal 35+, you might need help with speed.

and you'll need another starter or two, but theres no rush to get one now.

Like he said, you have very good power in your lineup. You may want to trade some of it for another reliever, 40 saves on the year won't be enough to win the league... I'm assuming this is a category league?

Lineup looks solid. A little light on the speed dept, but keep in mind that Freel can swipe some bags too. Some concern about your ability to hit for AVG/OBP, but not enough to really matter as most of the guys in your lineup should do fine this year.

Pitching looks pretty good. I'm worried about your depth at SP, but I'm pretty high on McCarthy and for some reason, Bonderman intrigues me, I have a hunch he'll have a solid year. Relievers should be ok. Jenks is still a bit unproven, but he could be a hammer in the Sox bullpen if he plays like I think I will. Baez should get tons of hold chances and maybe some saves if Gagne goes down. Cordero is a great closer.

I think he will do great in whatever league he may be in. There will always be that one suprise runner who swipes 30+ bases for you and when this go pops and he picks it up he will be in good shape.

I would look for a better back up 1b off the fa. Thome will be good but we know he isnt as predicatble as we would like.
