Team is solid but your OF needs to get younger and less risky and i think you could easily win.

I'm in a 12-team, mixed, 6X6 (OBP, holds) and can keep up to five players. Should I look for OF help with my first selection (roughly 70th-best off the board because of the four or five keepers per team). Also, when should I look to fill my 2B slot?

My keepers:
1B Teixeira
3B Atkins
SS Tejada
OF Crawford
OF Sizemore

[MadDog36]

What's available at each position that helps more.

[robert9]

Players available are unknown because the keeper lists have yet to be submitted. In a regular 12-team redraft, I'd be selecting in the 72, 83, 88, 105, 107, 120, 128, 129, 148, 153 and 160 positions in the first 10 rounds.

i would be concerned about getting a solid #3 OF, PITCHING above all else (try to get 2 studs in the early rounds), and maybe later down a solid catcher falls to you (martin barrett), don't reach unless its for mccann. No doubt all top 2b are taken *maybe a chance late in the draft on Cantu or Weeks would be worth your investment. If you get one of those, I would advise backing them up with another solid option maybe kinsler. a pair of any of those will be at LEAST servicable. Go after pitchers like kazmir, paps, smoltz, felix, bedard, cain, hamels that might be available (IDK?)

Later.

[MadDog36]

send me pms and tell me all the keepers/and how the draft goes and when its your pick and tell me whats avialable//what you narrowed down to i'll be glad to help you, later.

[robert9]

Thanks!

My pitching worries me a bit I wasnt able to notch a top closer but managed I hope to grab some cheap late round saves, my starters I view as injury risks with big potential payoff anyway let me know how it looks and any recommendations you all may have. We also have to start two catchers so thats why the pair.
