Please Rate My Team; Thanks!

[sdieckhaus]

I would greatly appreciate it if I could get some feedback on my team thus far. It is a 20 team, mixed, 5x5, non-keeper league. We are in the middle of round seven, and I am four picks away from drafting again. Please let me know where my biggest weaknesses are in your eyes! Thanks in advance for any help!

Also, we have weekly roster changes.

your team looks great. in a 20 teamer, you have a solid lineup so far and 2 solid starters. Since it is such a deep league however, i would have to advise you to pick up the best closer available, and soon if it isnt already too late!

[sdieckhaus]

Thanks for your input. I'm struggling with my next pick a bit. I want to get a closer, 2B, SS, and C in my next picks, but I don't know in what order. Any input is helpful!

Just added Renteria at SS. Where should I go with my next pick? I was thinking of RP, SP, 2B, or C.

Honsetly, closers are so sketchy! Obviously none of the good ones are left I'd probably be tempted to punt it and hit up the waiver wire during the season!

Also, don't reach for a catcher, very DEEP!

I think I would go for a closer. If not, then a 2B and then get a couple 10-15 save guys at the end.

[sdieckhaus]

I know that there are plenty of SPs out there, and often some waiver gems, but there was a huge run. I was suckered in. Where are my weaknesses now? Again, it is a 20-team league.
