What can I do to improve this team?

[dawade]

This is a standard 5x5 Roto league on Yahoo. I know I have several holes in this lineup. I was only able to draft after round 4, so that's why Pedro, Halladay and Guerrero were my first choices.

With that being said...here is my roster. I know I need help at SB, but what are some other holes you guys see?

C: Barrett
1B: Tracy
2B: Biggio
3B: Ensberg
SS: Hardy
OF: Guerrero
OF: Wells
OF: Lane
Util: Hafner
BN: Polanco
BN: Bradley
BN: Markakis
BN: Feliz
DL: Lugo

now for the staff:

SP: Pedro
SP: Halladay
RP: Hoffman
RP: Valverde
P: D. Davis
P: Oliver Perez
P: F. Liriano
BN: Kazmir

Thanks for the help guys!

Assuming this is a 12-team league...?

To start with, you've got a bunch of guys on your bench that you could cut (Polanco thru Feliz, except maybe Bradley) if a better option comes along thru a trade or the WW.

I like your SPs a lot, although I'd ideally want one more guy between Halladay and Davis. But if 2 of the 4 from Davis/Perez/Liriano/Kazmir come thru with a good season you're gonna be in good shape there. You do need to add another closer, though.

As far as cats go, you're right about needing SBs but it's not a huge issue at this point of the season. I personally have no faith that Wells is gonna have a very big season, so if he was on my squad I'd wait for a few big games and look to trade. I could be wrong, though... And your OF is a little thin with Wells and the Lane/Bradley combo, so I wouldn't trade him away for a different position.

Not a bad team overall IMO. If you're patient and make good moves you'll be in the running I think...
