My First Fantasy Baseball Team, Drafted Today, Ratings?

[NoviceGuest]

Longtime Basketball and Football vet, first time in Baseball. Here it is:

C: B.Santiago
1B: Delgado, Bagwell, Millar, Spiezo
2B: A.Kennedy
SS: T.Batista
3B: Renteria
OF: A.Jones, R.Sanders, Berkman

SP: Halladay, Pettite, Clemens, Ponson, Piniero, B.Lawrence, J.Thompson
RP: Worrell, M.Batista

Good FA's: C.Floyd, Salmon, E.Martinez, Biggio, Mora, A.Sanchez, M.Bradley

I dont know who some of these guys are, from my team: Kennedy, Lawrence, Thompson

So, what do you think? Advice/opinions please.

it needs a bit of help. I would drop a 1B for alex sancez, trade Delgado for a midrange power hitter and a midrange closer(maybe a sanders or salmon or CLee and percival), try to grab a chacon or kolb or graves type player off waivers or package 2 starters (clemens, ponson, pinerio) for a mid range closer

Btw, if you give me advice/honest opinion here, I do the same for your post

[NoviceGuest]

I dunno if this changes anything, but I start C, 1B, 2B, SS, 2B, 3 OF, 1 Util, 2 SP, 2 RP, 3 P (any kind)

like he said before, you really need a closer. You are stacked at 1B, i wouldnt trade Delgado but Bagwell is disposible and he should be able to land you a decent closer

Jorge Julio and Biddle are FA's right now, should I get one of them, and if I do, who should I drop?

[ctylkoko]

drop both Thompson and Lawerence and pick both of them up. Very lucky to have Julio there

By the way you have Renteria and Batista switched. I would drop T Batista for Mora who will be playing 3B for Baltimore this year. I agree with the others regarding your situation at 1B. however, I would keep Delgado and trade Bagwell. Bags shoulder is NOT good at least for throwing, hitting he is ok but risky. I would look to trade Bagwell to a team that is weak at first and has an abundance of Closers or trade him for a better 2B.

I have one concern, Biddle ended the year on a very low note. Also, my league is rotisserie, not head to head so saves are the same as hrs, 2bs, or whatever
