Is this a keeper league?

[padrino990_200]

8 player keeper.

[Xezus]

Idk how well to gauge an 8 team league, i bet everyones team is stacked. I know yours looks amazing, but i bet so does everyone elses. I think there are absolutely no holes in your team. I would try to grab posada cause he has had a great spring and should do fine in Mauer's Absence. Maybe watch closer situations like STL or COL cause im not sure if wood can keep the job the whole year.
Other than that i think your set. goodluck this year!

First of all Davis, Huff and Cantu are a fine platoon at 3b. Drop Lowell NOW for Justin Upton, he should not be a FA.

Adam Jones and Elijah Dukes are also interesting sleepers.

Since there are so many solid closers available, I'd drop Heath Bell for one of Dukes, Adam Jones, or Jair Jurrjens. Please do drop Lowell for Upton!

Wait for the DL to open up then grab a catcher with the free spot that will be created when that time comes. Do not let Upton sit around in FA. I tell you, you might could give a Doumit, Baker, Towles, Ramon Hernandez, Bengie Molina, Mike Napoli, or Pablo Sandoval a whirl if their available if you need a deep end temp. catcher FYI.

What other catchers are available?

[padrino990_200]

ok i dropped lowell for upton. just snagged lowell in the last round thinking maybe he'll come back, but with 3 other 3b eligible guys i guess i dont need him, no one will probably snag him anyways if i do.

RP availible are:
Mike González
Huston Street
Chad Qualls
Joel Hanrahan
Matt Lindstrom
Fernando Rodney
Joey Devine
Chris Pérez
Anthony Reyes
Hong-Chih Kuo
Brad Ziegler
George Sherrill
Aaron Heilman

also owners have max scherzer, brian wilson, and jason motte on the trading block

[Hustler8800]

I would drop Nady for Qualls

[MadDog36]

You don't NEED another closer .

In fact I'd just roll with the ones you start and cut that extra closer for one of htose upside OF or catcher to start the year.

Trust me don't you see 3 quality closers in FA? In fact I think Devine has the most upside of not only your closers but hte ones in FA as well.

Jorge Posada for Heath Bell

When Mauer comes back, you can either dump Posada at that point for another closer (as needed), maybe try to trade Mauer in a package to upgrade somewhere and just use Posada this year. Trust me 8 team league catchers will be available every year.

[padrino990_200]

somebody snatched up posada the other day.

i think my plan is to wait until the DL spots open up, shift any of my guys that i can into those (mauer and ervin) and snag a couple relievers and maybe an OF

[MadDog36]

u still need a catcher.
