As you can see, neither team is complete yet...So which team is better right now? Also, what does the worser team have to do to be better than the other team?

I like B better right now but it is close.

[Prooks25]

Anyone else?

i like team B mutch better. Although you do have some pitching in team A, B is a more roudned team. Also I always emfasize hitting over pitching meaning that i would like to have Team B. Add a few more offensive tools to team A and you will be on your way to a great season.

Yeah, team A probably could use a bit more power.

In a keeper league Team B is far superior and it's not near as clsoe as others have stated.

Team A actually beat Team B by over 20 Roto points last year.

It's not that far off. Just because Team B has younger sexier names doesn't mean it is far superior. If you look at the numbers of both team, it is actually quite close.

Team B has 120 SBs between 2 players, which is incredible. Team B may also have a tad bit more power, but Team A has yet to fill a power position (3B).

Team A needs closers obviously, but the pitching staff is pretty damn good and young. Team B has some question marks in the pitching staff with injuries (Halladay), inconsistency (Peavy), and inexperience (Santana, Garza).

In the end, I would give the slight edge to Team B, but Team A is only a few pieces away from being right with Team B.
