1B - C.TRACY
2B - SORIANO
3B - S.ROLEN
SS - J.LUGO
OF - B.ABREU
OF - B.BONDS
OF - J.PIERRE
UTIL - J.EDMONDS
BN - G.ATKINS
BN - J.LANE

nice team, bonds??lol a big risk

I don't know ... your pitching looks pretty balanced to me. Of more concern might be the number of question mark guys you have on offense: Rolen, Bonds, Kohjima.

Yeah, I like your pitching... pretty solid guys. But like the last guy said you have a gamble with Bonds and your catcher. If it were me I'd use Bonds to trade for another OF and SP or guy who is has IF and C ability.

what pick did u have? i dont c many teams w/ abreu and the next best player being c zambrano bonds or soriano, i think you had a poor 2nd round choice just by looking at it briefly, but it looks like you made up for it with strong late round choices. id try to find a bonds lover and package bonds + edmonds for a stud OF, pitching's pretty solid, u cud use a better #3 SP

Thanks for the feedback. You are all very helpful.

I picked 8th out of 10th.

M.Rivera was my first pick
Soriano was 2nd
I didn't pick up Bonds until 5th round.

Do you think a trade with Bonds+Rolen for J.Damon is smart?
Or C.Tracy for J.Damon will suffice?

Thanks again,

[jdcfsu]

Bonds and Rolen for Damon is not something I would offer because if both of them pan out you're going to get burned. Perhaps one or the other for Damon, but no way I'd offer both.

You have a LOT of risk, but with that comes a LOT of reward. I would look to move one of your high risk guys like Bonds or Rolen (hes due back tomorrow, I think) before the season starts to mitigate ur risk. You're pitching is the same, but I think its pretty good (eventhough it appears you capitalized on the injury concerns of others). Diversify and minimalize your risk, but don't sacrafice talent jsut cause "somebody" thinks less of one of your players than you. Good luck.
