Is this the best hitting team you've seen in a 10 team league ? Not much speed, but everything else I have. This league on the offensive categories keeps track of avg/obp/hr/rbi/runs/sb

We have 10 hitters active per day. (2 utility)

Stats in 2005

C) Varitek 70r 22hr 70 rbi .281/.366
1b) Ortiz 119r 47hr 148 rbi .300/.397
2b) B. Roberts 92r 18hr 73rbi .314/.387 27sb
3b) Ensberg 86r 36hr 101rbi .283/.388
SS) M. Young 114r 24hr 91rbi .331/.385
OF) A. Jones 95r 51hr 128rbi .263/.347
OF) Griffey 85r 35hr 92rbi .301/.369
OF) Matsui 108r 23hr 116rbi .305/.367
Util) Hafner 94r 33hr 108rbi .305/.408
Util) C. Delgado 81r 33hr 115rbi .301/.399

Bench is:

J. Dye 74r 31hr 86rbi .274/.333
Gomes 61r 21hr 54rbi .282/.372 (in 2/3rds of season)
Aurilia 61r 14hr 68 rbi .282/.338

I averaged up the 10 starters above for season totals, which on average equals the approxmiate production per year for the team per player:

94 runs per player
32 HR per player
104 rbi's per player
.299 BA avg per player
.380 OBP avg per player
and a woefule 4 sb per player. (oh well, can't have everything)

Maybe, I'm wrong, but I think I have a tremendous offensive team in 5 of the 6 categories... or at least the best I've ever had, but whats your opinion ?

btw, my pitching staff of course suffes the wrath of all of this hitting....

I have:

SP = Ol. Perez, Patterson, Lowe, Suppan, Young(SD) and Burnett (on DL)

RP = Macdougal(DL), Fuentes, Baez, Majewski, Mercker, Eyre, T. Worrell, Benoit

Maybe they'll do okay for me.... but jury is out.

Thanks for any input, and I'll be glad to rate your team, just leave a link.

cheers,
From the friendly Mudhen staff.

Best? Heh...I don't know.

Your hitting is obviously excellent but your pitching can use some work. Especially because of the solid bench, you need to trade a bit and you should be looking good. Maybe try to move Delgado for an ace SP...a Carpenter, RJ, Zambrano, Oswalt, Halladay type? Dye and Gomes are more than able to fill in.

Is this H2H or roto? If it's H2H, it might not be a bad idea to punt steals and saves and see what you can get for Roberts. If its roto, they both need to be worked on as well...probably more so than your SP need. Ya have plenty of trade bait with that offense though.

Thanks for the reply Reply Rubidium.

Yes, my pitching is below the weather, and I agree, I have been talking trade for a SP or two with a few others in my league.... however, everybody is really nervous and tight at this time of the year and afraid to pull the trigger on a trade for anything more than a couple of bench scrubs..... I'm just going to have to wait until a month or so into the season and a lot of teams start realizing they need some offense.

For the first time, we are a head to head league. I don't know what roto is, but for the past 2 years, we added up our statistics as the year went for a season ending who had the most thing.... is that called roto ?
