I've made a lot of moves to level out my team. This is my starting line-up heading into the season. I may make a few minor changes but overall I am content with what I have. I am hoping some of you could just take a look to see what changes you'd make if this was you team.

I am in a Yahoo! fantasy league with 12 teams. There isn't much left out there on waivers so I based my team on high hopes that some of these younger players will follow through. I understand its always undeterminable but there not to much more that I can do.

With my hitters I have a mix of some power, stealers, RBI guys, and players that can fill the wholes if someone doesn't follow through. My pitching looks ok. I could probably try to make a trade for a solid reliever but I just want to know your thoughts.

Thank You

I guess you traded Pujols for Johan. I would of kept Pujols and shopped Howard around. You could of gotten a pretty good SP for him. Anyways looks like a descent team. I see you have Reitsma,keep an eye out for J.Devine(RP) who will probably take over reitsma's closer job sooner or later.

I did trade Pujols for Santana and I only did that because my pitching was very weak. I kept Howard aboard because he could put up decent power number like Pujols but I'll be missing the batting average that Pujols brings...lol

My closers are weak but I think I have enough leverage to get by. If Reitsma doesn't work out then I will hop right onto Devine.

Thanks for your input.
