SP-C.Hamels, Carlos Zambrano, James Shields, Billingsley, Mcgowen, Buhrle, Homer Bailey RP-Marion Rivera, Soriano, Brian Wilson, Brandon Lyon
i like this team alot, i think im very solid accept for my RP, i will keep my eye out for closers, Benoit is available so if he closes for Texas ill grab him.
my 1st 5 picks could not have gone any better...Rollins, Howard, Phillips, Morneau, A.Ramirez.
any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, this is a money league with old friends and coworkers and i am the defending champ, my team was unreal last year!!
Unlike the guy before me lol I feel your outfield is a strong spot on your roster. All 3 of those guys though I'm not too sure on Fukudome offer great balance and upside, and Wells is worth a look for where hes being drafted at. I don't know all the details on Fuku but the more I hear from him out of the Cubs camp the more I like him even though those Cubs fans are homers
Only thing I would mention is make some changes on your bench offensively, none of them are necessarily bad backups, I would just drop Greene because your not going to necessarily need a backup behind Jimmy, maybe even find a super utility guy to cover your infield positions.
For your pitching its alright, I personally don't draft young unproven pitchers such as Bailey, McGowan and usually stay away from pitchers in their sophomore season like Shields. Basically I'm rather biased when it comes to pitching, you definitely have lots of potential there and if you catch lightning in a bottle with either of your two youngsters (McGowan/Bailey) its a big steal.
Your closers are fine, Rivera and Soriano are going to log a lot of saves this year and depending on who ARZ closer is, if it is Lyon you should have more than plenty of saves to work with.
Overall nice team, love the Buehrle pick but thats not saying much haha
great responce, thanks...i was thinking about dropping bailey, buhrle, K.Greene or mclouth, im not sure if im keeping any of those guys?? i think my outfield could be ok but theres a chance i might need to improve there.
i was thinking about grabbing one of the young outfielders who could have a impact this year like adam jones, colby rasmus or jay bruce?
for pitching theres benoit available who might close for texas but im not sure, ubaldo jimenez, ian kennedy and a few other sp who i have my eye on are available as well.
