I'm relatively new. We have 10 teams in our Yahoo league. Our stats are R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, QS. We just drafted and this is my team, I'm wondering how I did, and where I need help/trades.

It looks pretty good. My only suggestion would be that it seems like your 1b is pretty thin. Thats great because 1b is so deep. Maybe you can get a good value shopping around for a quality 1b. WIth so many great 1b options this year, i think you could get great value for a 1b in a trade.

overall I think it looks pretty good, but it seems like you are putting a lot of faith in young/slightly unproven starting pitching. CC is lights out and volquez is solid, but after that I feel like in a 10 team there has to be some more solid options out there.

Agreed. You're strong with relative depth at the thinner infield positions, but it does seem like you're relying on alot of young pitchers to have breakthrough years, which can be a fine strategy but carries its share of risk. As long as you work the waiver wire, you can make it work.

Good luck.
