Did I improve my team? Any input appreciated. Thanks!

I would say not much difference but I'm leaning towards worsened. It'd be easier to tell if you posted the moves you made, but I don't think Howard will be too much better than Hafner this year. Lee is a risk at 1st but so is Nomar so that's alright. 2B got worse and I think your pitching did too, but that depends on how Webb and Verlander do. It could turn out in your favor, but at the moment I'd say it won't.

Thanks for assessment. verlander will probably not repeat last year's totals. They've had a year to figure him out and I see a dreaded Sophmore Slump!!!But I could be wrong, who knows? I just have a lot more faith in webb than verlander.

Wow, I'm sorry. I responded thinking you gave up Webb and got Verlander. In that case, I'd definitely say improved! I agree Verlander is going to have a slump, while Webb will be closer to last years numbers.

A little confusing having to look between the rosters but...

Gave: Nomar, Utley, Hafner, Verlander, Johnson
Got: Lee, Lugo, Howard, Patterson, Webb, Duffy

I don't know how many trades it took, but great job:

Webb>>Verlander
Lee>>Nomar
Patterson>Johnson
Lugo<<Utley
Howard slightly over Hafner

You got Duffy too
Hands down solid moves!

Webb is an upgrade from Verlander, as he will surely have better bullpen support this year, as well as Verlanders soph slump. I'm wary of Lee just because I feel the Cubs team as a whole is going to have a historic meltdown this year(with the exception of soriano.)All others look good, especially Howard over Hafner, if for no other reason other than you don't want a guy nicknamed "Pronk" on your team. Good moves
