Here is my team.
C V-Mart
1B Helton
2B B Phillips
SS J Reyes
3b E Longoria
OF Markakis, Rios, Dunn
Util M Bourn
Bench Fukudome

PItchers (you can start 12 pitchers a week)
SP Peavy, Halladay, Kazmir, Carmona
RP F Cordero, T Hoffman
Bench Maine, Buerhle, J Chamberlin, R Johnson.

Where are my holes, and where do you think my strengths are???

I'd worry at 1st and 3rd. Helton isn't too good, and Longoria might be the starting 3B... in AAA.

Your pitching is fantastic though.

You lack power, That's the first thing I noticed. Your OF are studs with a ton of upside, but it's possible only one of them will put up 30+ homers and it's very possible no one on your roster will put up 30+ homers other then your OF.

You have a ton of speed though, and should earn many points with singles and doubles. Your pitching staff is pretty nice to, but if I was you I would take Carmona and Kazmir and trade for a big bat.. someone like Miggy or Aram at third... because Longoria is un proven, or for a good first basemen who will put up some homers, an then maybe move Helton to util.

Before I trade anyone, are there any sleepers you think I could possibly pick up for power? Any underrated value players that could potentially hit 30+?

ALso Joba Chamberlin is starting in the bullpen, would you hold on to him? or find an immediate replacement. Most pitchers on the WW are like 5th or 6th tier pitchers, so they're not that great. However, pitching in this custom points league can make/break a team.

BUmp, Can anyone answer my last post question?
Also, would anyone suggest picking up Butler and dropping any of my players from my soter (e.g fukudome or someone else on my team?

1b: Casey Kotchman, Billy Butler(should have eligibility here), Mike Jacobs, Nick Johnson
3b: Hank Blalock, Alex Gordon, Mark Reynolds

You're not going to get 30 out of most of these, but it'll be better (power) than what you have.
Only players I'm POSSIBLY seeing 30 from would be Butler, Johnson, and Blalock.

definitely pick up Butler (he'll be DHing for them) and drop Chamberlin. I'd try to stash Longoria away, find a replacement, and drop Bourn in the process.
