Disappointed in my first team. What do you think?

[Baseballer02]

Every year I create 4 teams on Yahoo. I do 2 live drafts and 2 autopick drafts. 1 each for both roto and h2h. Anywho, I'm disappointed in my first autopick team that was drafter over last night. Tell me what you think. All 4 of my teams are in winner leagues this year.

C-Ivan Rodriguez
1b-Mark Teixiera
2b-Alfonso Soriano
3b-Scott Spiezio(ugh)
SS-Jose Reyes
OF-Shawn Green
OF-Rocco Baldelli
OF-Carl Crawford
Util-Mike Lieberthal
Bench-Austin Kearns
Bench-Milton Bradley

SP-Josh Beckett
SP-Matt Morris
RP-Billy Wagner
RP-John Smoltz
P-Troy Percival
P-Jason Isringhausen
P-Joe Borowski
Bench-Rob Nen
Bench-Brendan Donnely
Bench-John Lackey

Ugh, I'm just disgusted. Noone with over 100 runs, only 2 with 20 HR, noone with 100 RBI, and more SB than I can shake a stick at. FARRRR to many relievers. A setup man who imploded last year, and an 2 unproven starters. Hoping I can get a good 2 for 1 deal for a good hitter or closer. Should I pick Mauer for Catcher and try to trade I-Rod and Lieberthal?

Great closers....at least that's something. I'd trade a closer or two and one of your catchers. I believe in Joe Mauer, but I'm biased. If you do, take the chance. That could give you a major upgrade. Then trade some of those steals for some pop (@ 3B?). Otherwise, hope for better luck in your other 3 leagues.

[hooligan1]

Yeah. That's not a good team. Did you pre-rank? I pre-ranked both of my publics and wound up drafting 8th in both and got Prior/Vlad/Rolen 1-2-3 in both leagues. It's important to pre-rank!

Agrred that you should look to deal at least a couple of those closers and one of your catchers for some SP and at least one big OF masher. Need to fix that 3B situation too....

[Mookie4ever]

Wow, that is nasty.

OF and IF (except Soriano) need a lot of work.

Definitely a challenge.

[KolbSaves]

maybe I'm blind but it doesn't look that terrible to me, deal Liberthal and maybe some others for a good power hitter to plug into util

[Dudecar00]

Dealing away Pudge and Leibrethal and taking a chance on Mauer is risky (although, in my one league, I dropped Lo Duca, picked up Mauer, traded Chavez + Radke for Posada, and traded Posada for Rolen and Clement).

So, I'd go the safer route and trade away Leibrethal + Crawford/Baldelli and get some power in that lineup. Also, hope to god that Shawn Green has a comeback year.

[Baseballer02]

Alright, my team has gone through a little makeover. I'm dropped Donnely for Jerome Williams and have a couple trades going through. They are Pudge and Borowski for Lowell and Smoltz for Magglio Ordonez. Whatcha think? My lineup should look like this now.

C-Lieberthal
1B-Teixiera
2B-Soriano
3B-Lowell
SS-Reyes
OF-Green
OF-Baldelli
OF-Crawford
Util-Ordonez
Bench-Spiezio
Bench-Kearns
Bench-Bradley

SP-Beckett
SP-Morris
RP-Wagner
RP-Nen
P-Isringhausen
P-Percival
P-Lackey
Bench-Williams

I know I need to trade some hitting for some pitching. Klesko and Hinske were just put on waivers, should I try to pick them up?

[Leber]

nice going...with those trades and free agents pick ups your teams improved alot...nice pickup in magglio...you not in too bad of shape now...
