The roster is structured a little weird with Yunel in the minors, but that's mainly because it costs a fee to shift guys up from the minors, and I wouldn't start Yunel unless Hanley were to get hurt. I made a lot of deals in the offseason to get cheap guys locked up that are on the rise. As defending champion, I dealt off guys like Howard and Soriano, and it gave me the flexibility to add Johan and Peavy at auction this year. My question is, does this seem like a team that can win a league? I have reservations about my offense and would like to hear some opinions.
