am i a contender for the 3000 $ first place regular season prize? or did i just waste 500$?

I WHIR to everyone who helps

[BigMak]

Right now I would say you are not a contender. Giambi and Dunn together are going to kill your batting average. Add Ensberg to that and its a last place category. If Corey Patterson has a decent season then you should be fine in steals. Power department you are good in.

Pitching is a dl trip waiting to happen. Sheets, Harden, Colon, and Patterson are some of the most injury prone pitchers in the game. You are really skating on thin ice with them.

I would look to move Giambi or Dunn for a good starter. Then I would try and move one or two of your starters for a bat to replace Giambi/Dunn. Hopefully somebody will bite on Sheets or Harden after they have a good few outings.

thanks, i was auto picked. i think i agree with all that u said. I will lose avg every week, but i like my power, anyway i will trade some of my injury prone starters along with giambi for a better hitter with a better avg.

[redlegs25]

I have to agree with BigMak. Your batting average will take a hard hit. Sheets I think should pull it out this year. Just keep an eye on the emerging starters.

I like the pitching, though as said above injuries will be a problem. Good closers. I'd suggest dealing Dunn and/or Giambi to a power starved team for AVG.

I like your offense,batting average not withstanding. You have speed and a surplus of power. Like everyone else said I would try and deal Giambi or Dunn. You have some solid arms as long as they don't hit the DL and your closers should get you through the year.

where will i be in the standings if i trade giambi for an avg. guy and assume all my pitchers are healthy.
