As I said in the the topic, it is a 6X6 roto league (OPS and holds). My main question has to do with pitchers. I've never done a league until now where the roster requirement is simply a certain number of 'P', rather than a split between RP and SP. Do I have an appropriate number of each SP and RP? And how's the team looking overall? Where should I try to upgrade?

i think you have a pretty good balance with the pitchers. do you start all 5 of those outfielders? if so i don't love all 5 of them but if you just start 3 then you can make a pretty lethal combo out there. Do you have a max innings pitched?
Zumaya and Broxton are long gone. I think I should be good for holds, I'm just hoping I don't have too many middle relief guys at the expense of starters or closers.
And yes, we do start all 5 OF and no, I'm not really happy with the OF either. Have any advice about who I should try to move? I dropped Wily Mo Pena for Milton Bradley.

post some FA bats and arms...only thing im looking at is....your bench to tell you the truth, how can you not be happy with that OF, take into consideration that this is a 10 team league with every roster having a bear minimum of 5 OFs, thats 50 ofs gone right there...to have 2 STUDS like sizemore and lee is great, and then the rest just compliment those 2 greatly, JD Drew will have a great season in bean town, and once figgins comes back he adds a ton of runs and SB, and then Baldelli, i love this guy for a big break out year, and in the mean time with figs down, victorino isn't that bad of a fill in...the infield is SOLID, when you can say that your worst IF player is FLopez you have something good...your RP are VERY strong, and your SP aren't that far behind rolling with Blanton (a VERY underrated pitcher) as your #5 is great, that means that all 4 of your other players are most likely ending up with numbers upwards of 13 wins and 150 Ks which is awesome...the only concern is your bench...hillenbrand isn't worth much if anything, wily mo has flopped for what 3 years straight now and with the BoSox adding JD Drew this year it just barried him that much more...Betancort and Pavano im almost certain can be upgraded...post some Bats and Arms on FA/WW...hope this helps!!!

Yeah no kidding. I'd stay away from Buerle. Something was off w/ him last year and I don't expect him to bounce back. He could get 12 wins again but I wouldn't expect much more. His ERA was up almost two points, K's down by 50.
I know that doesn't narrow your choice down a lot but I'm in chicago, thought I'd give ya the inside scoop.

I'm still looking for opinions on the makeup of my staff in terms of SP vs. RP, and closers vs. middle relief guys. Anyone?
