One of the ebst drafts I've been in as far as no stupid picks or no early picks of any sort, Any advice is appreciated but anyone who gives me a detailed reply will get one in return, (I will reply to all post)
“Never argue with a idiot, because first they will bring you down to their level. Then beat you with experience.”
I like your bats. I think Nomar is gonna bounce back and have a good year with the dodgers. I would keep my eye on both Burnitz and N Johnson. I think Nick the Stick may have a big year and could be a good pick up, but i don't hate your of at all. I mean if rowland isnt working out you can easily pick up someone who is his equivilant. If I were you I'd look to pick up another catcher as I'm not big on Piazza at Petco Park. With the res of your team i can see you taking a hit there tho and not really feeling it. Your pitching staff is gonna be solid. Petite is a great Second Ace and your closers are nice I like contreras too. I mean you can always pick up spot arm here and there.

I don't think you need another closer, you have 5 as it is. I like your top 3 SPs, but not the other 2 so much. I would try to move Borowski or MacDougal (maybe both) to someone who needs saves to improve upon your 3B or OF positions. Upon moving MacDougal, pick up Burgos if a 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 trade occurs. Love Atkins, Halladay, Felix and Devine on your roster.
Yeah you have a pretty solid roster. Get rid of McDougal(get Burgoss) and I would get rid of Borowski , trade them for whatever you think is your biggest weakness. The one thing I would change - Piazza. I got stuck with him in a league and I am sure he is going to hurt me more then help me. I think Nomar is going to bounce back too.
And like the other guy said, if Rowand isn't working out then you should be able to get someone of WW to replace him. And getting Gathright for steals if a great idea if he is still available.
