This is a younger team than I'm used to dealing with (average of just less than 26). The goal is to make the playoffs for the first time (lost out on a playoff spot by 0.5 games last season). I'm still looking to add some power and speed to a young offense, and the pitching has held up very well (knock on wood). I'm in a tight one against a team that is in fourth place and three games ahead. If I push the right buttons, I think I can get the kids into the playoffs.

This is my newest squad. The team is trying to get back in shape after a terrible 14-7 loss last week. There is a good mixture of speed (Reyes, Victorino, and Beltran) and power (Dunn, Howard, and A-Gon), with a deep pitching staff and an excellent relief corps. What I want to see more is to see the hit for average (only .272 on the season) and bring in more Ks for the pitching staff (only 7.44 K/9). There should no reason why the team can't make a serious push in the playoffs (knock on wood).
