First Draft, 12 Team League.. What do you think?

[AJPennSt]

For some reason our league starts (2) catchers.. There are 12 teams in the league and I had the 6th pick. I'll start with my starters

C - Russell Martin
C - Chris Snyder
1B -Joey Votto
2B - Chase Utley
SS - Jhonny Peralta
3B - Chris Davis
MI - Jose Lopez
CI - Edwin Encarnacion
OF - Matt Holliday
OF - Nick Markakis
OF - Matt Kemp
OF - Brad Hawpe
DH - Denard Span

Bench - Carlos Guillen, Mike Jacobs, Chase Headley, Adam Lind

SP - Brandon Webb
SP - Felix Hernandez
SP - Derek Lowe
SP - Zack Greinke
SP - Armando Gallaraga
RP - Joba Chamberlain
RP - Chris Perez
RP - Chad Qualls
RP - Brian Wilson

Bench - Dan Wheeler, Manny Parra, Sean Marshall

What do you think? I have a lot of young guys with high ceilings, maybe too many. I should be up there in stolen bases and my team has a lot of 20-30 homerun guys. I'm worried about my starting pitching but I'm hoping to improve through waiver wire pickups and maybe trades. I didn't put much emphasis on relief pitching as I'm sure there will be pickups throughout the year. Thanks guys, I'll help you if you help me!

Starting pitching looks good, but relievers look bad, trade Joba for another good closer since he is slated at a #5 starter and won't get may innings or wins, swap Hawpe and Span positions or play Guillen at Utility, Definately drop Jacobs, you could get a aplayer with the same BA but more homers (thome, or even Hafner who actually hits better)

I would get Carlos Guillen into your starting lineup, he is a very underrated player and he is a having a great spring. Also, the starting pitching is definately a concern, i'm not sure who is available on the waiver wire/free agent pool, but check that out and make sure you aren't overlooking anyone. I don't like any pre-season trades so I would wait to see how things are going a month or 2 down the road and then make a move.
