Yahoo league...warm up draft but will also stick with the team through the season because I hate it when people abandon teams....
5x5 Mixed...etc...standard yahoo public league rules:
C M. LeCroy (Min - C,1B,DH)
1B C. Delgado (Tor - 1B)
2B M. Giles (Atl - 2B)
3B M. Lowell (Fla - 3B)
SS R. Furcal (Atl - SS)
OF B. Abreu (Phi - RF)
OF P. Nevin (SD - 1B,RF)
OF J. Gibbons (Bal - RF)
Util D. Young (Det - 3B,LF,DH)
BN S. Stewart (Min - LF)
BN P. Burrell (Phi - LF)
SP C. Schilling (Bos - SP)
SP T. Hudson (Oak - SP)
RP J. Borowski (ChC - RP)
RP A. Benitez (Fla - RP)
P J. Beckett (Fla - SP)
P C. Zambrano (ChC - SP)
P J. Lieber (NYY - SP)
BN B. Penny (Fla - SP)
BN J. Lackey (Ana - SP)
BN A. Burnett (Fla - SP)
I like my starters for sure....ESPECIALLY if Lieber and maybe Burnett contribute....but for now Schilling/Hudson/Beckett/Zambrano will keep my head above water just fine......My closers need some work but I wanted to get a couple guys cheap (late) and then watch the wire for the inevitable emergence of a solid guy.
My Outfield is pretty weak...not horrible, but weak....I like the flexibility that Nevin and D.Young give me (help at the corners)...I like most of my infield....
POWER: I feel like I'll probably have to pick up another 30+ HR guy but if Delgado can repeat, I've got a host of 20+ HR guys (7 to be exact) that should keep my head above water...ESPECIALLY if Burrell comes back stronger than last year.
SPEED: Furcal/Abreu will help me stay out of the cellar but I might look at grabbing Dave Roberts to shore me up here....
AVG: Solid....looks like a team avg around .290....most are between .280-.310...should be fine
STRIKEOUTS: I really like where I stand here....Schilling/Beckett/Zambrano should do nicely....plus I can expect 150 or so out of Hudson and Lackey...and IF IF IF Burnett comes back and does okay (unlikely but worth a bench spot till May-June to see...last round grab.
ERA/WHIP: Lackey could be a killer here...he might get moved if he comes out hot...not sure though.....Chilling/Hudson/Beckett might offset him....
Opinions please?
