That's way more teams than I've ever done. So I'm sure the auction was pretty interesting towards the end.

I think your teams is fairly solid although I don't like having so many old guys for a keeper league. Kent should be worth the 20 you spent on him though.

I don't like your pitching much, but some of your younger guys should be getting better. Clemens may be a waste, but it's worth the gamble if he plays. Patterson is good at home. Cabrera has good stuff, so we'll see if he can improve his numbers. I really don't like your relievers either, but your closers are decent when healthy.

Just try to say Wandy Rodriguez without sounding like Elmer Fudd.

Yea, I'm not sure going with 18 teams in the first ever auction was such a great idea. I think I might need to trade away an OF for pitching. any Ideas?

Problem with that is I like your outfield. Their values are probably pretty even with what you paid. Lee and Vlad have been pretty consistently good and Crisp is definitely solid. I like that you got Frank Thomas on the cheap too. Lofton is always decent when he plays too.

I would say to look around your league and find a guy that you think has a glut of good pitching and figure out what he needs. Then figure out a trade that gives you both what you want. Just make sure you're not screwing one of your positions just to get a pitcher. Your guys really aren't bad. I just think they could be improved.

Nice team. Looks like your pitchin is the weaker part of your team, although not real weak. Hopefully foulke doesnt go down for u or u mite wanna watch for Papelbon, Hansen, or Timlin in Boston or some other young/new closers. Guardado is a bit of an injury risk too. Your RPs r decent. It would really suck if Clemens didnt come back to play. Dont really like A. Everett...but i guess if u paid that lil for him, then there mite not be any other SS worth getting for that price.
