5x5 Roto AL-Only (7 Teams)

[TheDooner64]

I had the 2nd pick in the draft, out of 7.

C - Victor Martinez
1B - Chris Davis
2B - Howie Kendrick
3B - Miguel Cabrera
SS - Jed Lowrie
OF - Bobby Abreu
OF - Jacoby Ellsbury
OF - Nelson Cruz
Util - Hideki Matsui
Bench - Alex Rodriguez, Elvis Andrus, Travis Hafner

SP - Josh Beckett
SP - Francisco Liriano
RP - Frank Francisco
RP - David Aardsma
P - Justin Duchscherer
P - Jesse Litsch
P - Jeremy Guthrie
Bench - David Price, Fernando Rodney, Chris Ray, Grant Balfour

What are my strengths/weaknesses....and how do you think I can improve?

The one thing that stands out is that I would look for a better shortstop. I think there are better options than Lowrie, and once Lugo comes back he may go to the bench.

Is there a way to get Peralta? He's got to be the best SS in AL only, right? Lowrie and Matsui?

I wouldn't bother with Aardsma now: Morrow's the closer.

Matsui's hitting cleanup until a-rod gets back, I figured that would be a decent hedge. Lowrie has been hitting the cover off the ball in spring, but ultimately I plan to start Andrus. That a decent strategy? I really need to upgrade my pitching, anyone have any sleepers?

Bump

Just dropped Aardsma for Downs. Anyone have an opinion on Lowrie and Andrus?
