New To The Forum fantasy Baseball...Your Advice Is Needed

[pmstick]

Well this is the first year so I'm not expecting to make a huge bank although I got lucky and won $50 in my first year of fantasy baseball).

Please check the squad out and LMK how it looks. What am I missing? What do I have too much of? I know I have a lot of SPs but I'm thinking about quantity over quality and seeing which guys pan out.

I drew the ace and picked 1st and then 24th. I wasn't too thrilled about this. I took Pujols which leaves me with some deficiencies.

My league discounts strikeouts. Here are the other cats. Team should be in sig at the bottom.

anybody? One guy needs shortstop help. He has Matsuzaka, Zito, Haren, Millwood, Hughes, Patterson, Igawa...What can Felipe Lopez get me for this list at this point in time?

You should have your choice of Haren or Zito in exchange

Which one would you choose Haren or Zito? I'm not crazy about trading players before the season really starts. Should I hold off on trading Lopez?
