Well, we're more than 3 weeks into the season. How has your pitching been doing so far for you? You do see why people here have been ripping your pitching though, right? Myers is solid, but will have his rough spots. Glavine has had a good start, but is the last start the beginning of his coming to earth? Millwood -- very inconsistent and in a hitters park. Kazmir -- great young prospect, but not many wins in his future (plus youngsters can be maddeningly inconsistent). Radke -- consistently mediocre. Burnett -- hurt. Clemens -- who knows? Maroth -- FA-level who you're hoping keeps riding his hot streak. For the relievers, only Papelbon looks really good. Valverde and Reitsma are question marks, though Valverde has pitched well (unfortunately his team isn't so good). Linebrink is a top middle reliever, but his value is lessened in a league not counting holds.

Again, is it working for you? If so, and you like your team, keep doing it. There's no reason you have to listen what people here say. I noticed there is a bias in these "team analysis" threads towards teams with stud starters. I submitted 2 teams for review -- one loaded with hitting, the other with pitching. The pitching team got by far the better response, but the team with the hitters is the one dominating my league.

Is this a roto or H2H league league? Radke's the one guy I really don't like (and he's been horrible so far). Aren't there any decent FAs?
