Oh by the way when the season starts i will drop kenny lofton and grab rodger clemens he will be on waivers and i get the first pick also im probably going to drop marte and move kaz in his spot cause i have him on a minor league roster thx.

Team looks solid. I dont really like Burroughs at 3rd. You might try to package a couple of your bench players for an up grade at 3rd and as you said get a couple good closers.

[Trot Nixon]

How many teams are in your league?

[bravelaker]

its a ten team keeper league head to head 5x5

Not bad. Definitely start checking the free agent pool as soon as possible for closers.

in my opinion i would drop kendall for clemens not lofton i think lofton will have a good year and u already have piazza and javy.. u could also try n trade palmeiro or ortiz and burroughs for a improvement at 3rd

Killer outfield. If you're looking for saves, the White Sox just signed Japan's leading saves leader to be their closer. He just passed Sasaki's record in Japan.

yeah i dont much like burroughs at 3rd i have tried trading but most the guys come up with crazy deals that i just cant do what i figure is one of my bench guys will do really well this year then i can make a move for someone else at 3rd and as for the closer as soon as the season starts im gonna try and grab him he will be on waivers its just a matter of if they notice or not.

I'd try to package Javy to upgrade your 3B. Burroughs is garbage in a 10 team mix league. Lofton is more valuable to you than Burnitz, so if you have to drop Burnitz.

I don't know.....you gotta upgrade at RP and 3B. Trade a catcher and something else to get a 3-bagger.

you think so i was thinking since burnitz was in colorado he might have a good year i think he avg 30 hrs every year.
