Standard 5 category Yahoo roto league. Right now I'm in 5th place. What do you think? What are my strengths/weaknesses/needs?

[sean23]

Oh yeah and it's a 12 team league.

Looks to be a better than average team to me but not one that can contend. Your pitching is really thin, especially your relievers. Why not drop a hitter or two and pick up more pitching?

[sean23]

Here are the pitchers on the WW in my league

John Patterson
Greg Maddux
Zach Duke
Nate Robertson
Jeff Francis
Orlando Hernandez
Vicente Padilla
Jamie Moyer
Jason Jennings
Doug Davis
Jeff Suppan


Relievers
Clay Hensley
Derrick Turnbow
Hector Carasco
Scott Linebrick
Johnathan Broxton
Ricky Nolasco
Dan Wheeler
Bob Howry
Fernando Rodney
Brett Tomko
Scott Proctor
John Raunch

And there are some more guys on the DL and on waivers, but I didn't list them.

Who should I pick up?

Thanks

Love your SS and OF.

3 2B's (L. Castillo, B. Phillips, O. Hudson) are too many. I actually like your starter Castillo the least of the 3. I'd try to trade of them for a pitcher. If no takers, I'd drop Castillo and pick up a Free Agent pitcher.

If you have daily lineup changes, I don't think you can afford to keep both Wang and Josh Johnson. I'd say cut Josh J. for now (since he'll be out until at least June), and maybe pick him back up later when Wang returns and if your DL spot opens up.

And don't worry about what place your in until at least April 15th or 20th. It's just too early for that.

Good luck to you. Please take a look at my post...

So which of those guys should I pick up off waivers? I suppose I'll drop J. Johnson and one of the 2bmen, but which two pitchers should I get? Or should I trade for someone? Who? Sorry I'm so clueless.

[fenwaypride1912]

get wheeler and broxton. broxton for a ks, WHIP, ERA and vulture saves (could clsoe this year) and wheeler already tried to close to get those 2

[sean23]

OK. Anyone else have any advice?

Start Brandon phillips at 2b and drop luis.

I would rather have John Patterson than meche. For saves puts and gordon shield is good but not too many save with k-rod on same team. When wang comes back i like your pitching if beltre can hit 25 hrs 90 rbi your team is good. You have a great outfield and reyes is awesome.

Also what FA are out there for 3b to back yourself up incase beltre flops.
