12 team 5x5 deep roto league, with 3 keepers. My keepers this year where Pedroia, Broxton and Quentin. I had the fourth pick in the draft. In addition to the position players we start 2 catchers, CI, and MI.

In a 12 team league, I think this team finishes 5th to 8th place. Make some moves/get lucky and it could be competitive, but I wouldnt expect a top 3 finish.

ur OF looks pretty strong. If Huff repeats last year you should get nice IF power numbers from them and then you have one of the top 2B in Pedroia.
ur starters are solid but no one elite. ur should do well in saves with nathan and broxton. idk how ull finish becasuse id have to see some of the other teams. but you wont finish last.
I'd say RP is great. The actual SPs are kind of weak. You have 5 nice OFs, so I'd trade Ankiel and a SP (probably Dempster or Vazquez) to get a near-elite guy, maybe like Beckett or Hamels. Since it's ROTO, you may want a little more SB help. I don't think the catchers are too bad, but there a clearly better ones. The only way I see people with 2 significantly better catchers is if they overpaid, so you'd have to overpay to really improve it. Pudge can give solid numbers, but he may see a lot of off days at his age, and Laird's pretty good and with a nice OBP group with DET having Maggs and Polanco. So I'd look to move Ankiel and a SP for a top-end SP, and MAYBE try to get a good deal on a Catcher.
