Only real weaknesses I see are in the OF (Crisp/Bradley are not ideal #3 OF), and in the bottom end of the SPs. If you're banking on Clemens to get back before you make a move, you may be left in the dust by that point.

Other than that, you seem very strong at most positions, especially your infield.

Just noticed... where are your saves coming from again? Or are you punting this category and loading up on holds?

[Allegreenery]

thanx for the input


yea, I wanna try to punt saves and just win hold every week so I can break even between those 2 categories...but I have ray and fuentes that id like to get rid off for a good holds guy, but have had no such luck yet

[Allegreenery]

anyone else? whir

i like Bradley aslong as he can stay healthy, thats the issue with him. if he can play a full season i see really good numbers. if he can continue what he did in the 2nd half last season maybe 25+ HR's?
i read he will be batting 3rd for Oakland and should score runs and get RBI's

[jamesllegade]

YOu never know who the holds guys are going to be from year to year... dont 'PUNT' saves but you can probably get by with the two guys you got... earn a middling roto number by mid season and then trade for need and coast in on a 4 or 5 in Saves.

I'd drop Lowery for a holds guy... probably Mora too.

good team. but after this yr ur OF may become expendable with those old guys. who knows with frank thomas? he could b great, and he could suck. pitching is good, i like lowry alot even tho he struggled last yr

[Allegreenery]

7 keepers, im keeping my infield, which is 5, Bonderman will be my 6th, and I'm working on getting a younger OF such as rios as my 7th....
