I will start off by saying that, IMO, a 10 team keeper should look great, if you know what you are doing.
I like your offense a ton! You need to change nothing with your starters! I would think you may be able to have a better option than Shoppach, unless some teams have more than one C. Coco and Felipe have no real value on your bench, but Felipe can be put anywhere, which is nice. You can ride Reynolds' hot streaks when/if they occur. I would think you could upgrade here with some WW material.
As far as your pitchers, I would hope for your sake that a couple of your bench guys start out fast, so you can deal them for some slow starter starters. You can get by with your starters, though. I would also think that in a 10 teamer, out of the gates you may be behind in the saves dept. Your closers are on mediocre teams, and I would guess most teams have more options than you. This can be fixed by being WW savy, so not too big of a deal.
Overall, you should finish in the playoffs, for sure.
I agree, offense is definitely solid, but your starting pitching is very young, and I think you will need a solid #2 guy right behind Billingsley during the season.
First off thanks for the responses. Second I have made a trade to improve my pitching and I also dropped Maine to pick up Brandon Lyon. Please tell me what you think about my team after the trade.
I traded Beltran for Shields, Baker and Maybin.
so here is how my team looks now.
