Winning Team?

[Shizane]

10 team league that counts:
Hitting - R, AVG, SB, RBI, OPS, HR
Pitching - W, SV, Holds, K/9, WHIP, ERA

C - Victor Martinez
1B - Derek Lee
2B - Brian Roberts
SS - Michael Young
3B - Hank Blalock
OF1 - Grady Sizemore
OF2 - Jermaine Dye
OF3 - Jay Gibbons
UTIL - Richie Sexson

Bench (Hitters) - Ryan Freel, Nomar Garciaparra, Geoff Jenkins


SP1 - Carlos Zambrano
SP2 - Felix Hernandez
SP3 - John Patterson
SP4 - Aaron Heilman (just picked him up now that he is a reliever...will help with my ratios)
RP1 - B.J. Ryan
RP2 - Jose Valverde
P - Scot Shields

Bench (Pitchers) - Roger Clemens, Eddie Guardado, Odalis Perez, Justin Duchscherer, Chris Ray


I love my hitters for power, OPS, average, and runs......SB and RBIs will be pretty good (based on the #s of last year's best team).....pitching is stacked as well, as I usually concede W for WHIP, ERA, k/9 and holds....saves will be ok

i have a fair amount of trade bait (guardado, ray) and possibly clemens coming back in a month or two.....

What do you think????

I think your going to have some trouble on offense. In a ten team league you probably should not be starting Gibbons and Dye in your outfield, and Blalock is probably among the weakest of the starting 3B in your league. You should probably have another top power hitter in your outfield.

You do have a lot of starting pitching. I'm rather surprised that you invested so heavily SP (Felix, Patterson, Zambrano, Clemens) when you only really need them for wins. You could go with all relievers and excel in five of six categories. I'd probably try to trade all four of them along with Guardado for Johan, Schilling, and Ryan Dempster (assuming he qualifies as an SP). And you probably do not need Odalis Perez at all.
