Aside from RP, which I was gonna punt, and take middle relievers before they went waaaaay earlier than I thought, so I wound up with crappy closers instead of good middle guys, what do you think?

I would throw a question mark over Benitez.....returning from injury and not a high-scoring offense in SF, but I'd watch developments on being traded to Boston. value definitely soars if he gets traded to Boston.
Minors are just four extra roster spots (non starting) that can only be used on people with fewer than 200 AB, 75 IP or 20 Pitching Appearances in a year.
Team is pretty solid. I really don't see any huge holes other than the one you addressed yourself - RPs. SPs are very strong as well as your OF - even with Quentin who is very well suited to your scoring cats. Infield is somewhat shaky, but nothing to be concerned about. I like it.
Wow .. neat leaguer, and great team. I worry a little about Kinsler ... I was real big on him last year, and as a late round pick, pretty greta. However, that's the place I'd keep an eye out cause I dont' see any backup in your pipeline. Love seeing Scott on your bench.
Interesting how your RP situation turned out. You may still yet find your quality middle reliever, perhaps by trading McClung after he logs a save or two. He's in the same tier as Weathers (who was my last roudn draft pick BTW).
thats a fantastic looking team. I even love your bench and prospect players (Joey Votto is the man!, shealy is on the verge of breakout... i could say glowing things about all of them) I wouldn't be surprised if Teahen winds up starting in your OF over CQ.
Obviously you want to keep an eye on the tampa closing situation being that mcclung is literally throwing his job away, but i imagine chad and al are still available should he not pan out, but you already know all of this
Your team looks pretty solid to me, specially our infield. And its pretty much been said already with RP, but I took that same approach and took a dive in RP in my other league hoping the situation in Tampa and Atlanta can work something out for the WW.
