Not bad. Need some infielders and some outfield depth but the pitching is pretty good.

Isn't Ryan Dempster Canadian?

Votto at second? He isn't even a great first baseman.

It's Canada... we have to give them a break...

Why not put Martin Brodeur at 2B?

Steve Nash would probably be better

Dempster should be on the list somewhere. Also, I think Adam Loewen is better than Hill.

I haven't heard of half these guys and the ones I do know are way past thier primes.

Teahen's not Canadian according to BRef. Dempster is. You could try to get Corey Koskie to come out of retirement. Adam Loewen would be your Canadian fantasy sleeper this year. Adam Stern would be another OFer, providing some defensive back-up for Stairs.

Reads:

This guy here is dead.

But, he still might outplay Adam Stern....and he's probably just as good a fielder as Matt Stairs.

Ryan Dempster is not coming anywhere near my team.
Steve Nash is my utility infielder. He can do anything.
Teahen was born in the US but he is Canadian.
Adam Stern doesn't make the team b/c he played for the Red Sox.
Stubby Clapp is our other utility infielder, Bill Wennington is our backup outfielder.
