Just lost 7-2 in the first week...granted I know it's only 1 week but any suggestions for possible moves I should make would be appreciated.

I like your offense. Some of your guys got off to slow starts, but once they pick it up (see: Teixeira) you'll be fine. The only gaping hole I see on offense is your lack of speed. It doesn't look like you have anybody who will give you enough SB's to compete in that cat every week. SP looks good. Pettitte got shelled his first time out but I wouldn't worry much about that. You have some old guys in your rotation in Maddux and Glavine who have started solid but might fade down the stretch. Keep an eye on them for signs of fatigue. RP looks good. Rivera and Hoffman are excellent. I'd probably drop Foulke if there is anybody on the wire worth grabbing. He seems to have lost the closers job for the immediate future, and the way Papelbon has been throwing he may never get it back.

Thank you for the reply....I liked my team as I was drafting it and still do but have made a couple moves...I dropped Biggio for David Wells and dropped Feliz for Jarrod Washburn. I know I'm taking a chance on Wells. I'm trying to acquire some speed through trades because there is not much on the waiver wire right now.
