I think V mart is a steal in the fifth round of a keeper league. I think your gonna have to grind on your staff, but as long as your prepared for it you bats a dirty. Burnett Hudson and Cabrera could be the makings of a great staff especailly if mazzone can repeat in Baltimore what he did in ATL.

Let me know what you think of my team

yeah, vmart is an amazing steal in round 5. personally, i dont like beltran at 3 but thats just my own personal bias in thinking that he wont return to form.

cycling pitchers will be smart as that staff is below average. maybe move a bat for another dependable pitcher.

id start gomes over hermida to start but your offense is nasty and moving beltran wouldnt hurt as hermida will be a good start in a 14 team league IMO

i couldnt believe I got Vmart in the fifth, I really had no intention of drafting him based on his ADP, anyway, What kind of SP do you think I could get for Beltran?

[dooz]

hmm.....not sure...maybe czam if the other manager is high on beltran.

find some teams that need an OF and have SP to spare and post up thier aces and ill let you know what i think.

maybe sheets. i think you should definitely be able to get pedro since its a keeper but i wouldnt do that.

Your offense is stacked, but your starting pitching could be problematic. Hudson has always been overrated fantasy-wise, Burnett and Mussina are major injury risks, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to believe in Cabrera yet. I'd try to move a bat, maybe Ensberg or Ramirez, for another arm.

I'd sit kearns and play gomes. I think with your hitting you'll be fine cycling pitchers, but it's hard to know without know what scores points for you. I think you're absolutely set for the future in hitting. I would make any moves until the season starts unless you get an obvious steal. that way, you can see how some of your pitching pans out. I think if you're willing to play the wire, and cycle a few pitchers, that you should be top 5 this year. and if you can grab a few breakout pitchers you have the possibility of starting a dynasty. always build around hitting...good work.

Thanks for the input guys.... I really appreciate it, Any more?

[hohoyoyoyo]

i am ok with your team except...mussina

i don't think his age can last him that long
might want to trade him while you still can?

otherwise the team is fine

watch out for injury concerns with your other pitchers though
(eg. burnett)
