I guess, first off, let me know what you think of my team(and be honest, I have no idea what I am doing), second - where can I improve, third - what/who should I be looking for

Thanks for any help and let me know if you have any questions

I think this is a pretty strong team, but its hard to judge with all the extra categories... Your SP is pretty strong, so if you feel the need Schilling or even Burnett (because he can be wild sometimes) could be traded for a top closer. Your offense is strong, but the DL is hurting it now... If you can pick up Corey Hart or even Shane Victorino they could be good contributors, over Hermida. Because its points only you don't need to worry about different categories, making sluggers a premium because HRs are worth four. A guy that could be picked up is Adam Dunn. Because average doesn't matter, his HRs and RBIs could be really valuable. Watch out for losing pitchers because of the -5 for losses. but really a good team

another sleeper is Mike Jacobs, who has strong HR and RBI and could be hitting cleanup. Post some FAs.

Seeing as I don't follow baseball all that much, I wouldn't be much help
