First Time Fantasy Player, How'd I do?

[ahopnova]

H2H 5X5 10 person league, 8th pick

1) Carlos Beltran
2) Manny Ramirez
3) Justin Morneau
4) Carlos Zambrano
5) Rafael Furcal
6) Robinson Cano
7) Jeremy Bonderman
8) Trevor Hoffman
9) Chone Figgins (I KNOW HE's INJURED)
10) Justin Verlander
11) Brad Lidge
12) Kenji Johijima
13) Torii Hunter
14) Frank Thomas
15) Joel Zumaya
16) Josh Johnson
17) Adam LaRoche
18) Jeremy Sowers
19) Octavio Dotel
20) Jorge Cantu
21) Carl Pavano

How do you think I should go ahead and upgrade third base? Any pitchers I should consider moving? Any other general comments?

It makes it easier for people to rate your team if they can see what your lineup will look like...but I'm bored, so I'll do it for you.
c Johijima
1b Morneau
2b Cano
3b Cantu
ss Furcal
of Beltran
of Ramirez
of Hunter
util LaRoche
bench Thomas
bench/dl Figgins (I assume you drafted him as your 3b)

SP Zambrano
SP Bonderman
RP Lidge
RP Hoffman
P Dotel
P Zumaya
P Verlander
bench Sowers
bench Pavano
bench Josh Johnson

I don't think you did that bad. You're hurting at 3b...but when you get Figgins back you should be all set. I don't like Hunter in your OF. In a 10 person league...I almost think there might be someone better than him on waivers. Keep an eye out and be ready.

I don't thik Pavano belongs on a fantasy roster right now, especially in a 10 team league. Josh Johnson is hurt...I assume you are moving him to a DL spot? In a 10 team league you should be able to have more than 2 closers...make sure they all got drafted. Pick up Jorge Julio (florida closer now) if he got passed over (he just got the job.)

i agree with most of what billy beane said, there should be some good pitching and a solid of in the fa pool.

overall you have a solid core with just a couple holes to be filled, which is easily accomplishable.

good job for your first draft.
