Had 8 solid keepers going into this year. Having 2 aces I focused on filling out my hitting first. I think I could use a bit more SP depth but I'm hoping that Johnson and Jimenez have decent years and that Escobar does well when he gets back. My 2 aces should hopefully carry me for the most part.

12 teamer H2H 5x5 (OBP instead of Avg)

1B Howard
2B Utley
3B Figgins
SS Reyes

SP Webb
SP Lincecum
SP J.Johnson
RP Broxton
RP Gonzalez
P F.Francisco
P Jimenez

BN Marmol,Parra, J.Sanchez, J.Zimmerman, Konerko
DL K.Escobar

I can't find a weakness right now.

If you finish worse than 3rd, you've had some tough luck.

That is a great team overall. I like that you picked up Escobar. I think he will return to form.

I like your team a lot but with Reyes, Kemp, and Abreu, I'm not sure if Figgins is needed for extra SBs and there are a ton of awesome 3b out there that could help you a lot.

i like your team a lot--i agree pitching depth is always good, but i think you are getting a lil picky

and its somethign you can get on the waiver as the season goes on...your team is great---well done...best of luck and YES you can win it all with those guys!!!

the offense is solid. Figgins is good enough at 3B and your team is good in SB. Reyes and Figgins will get alot. Lee/Abrea will add some. im not sure Kemp goes 35 again. i think he could end up closer to 25, which is still good.
you could maybe trade Figgins and an OF for a top hitting 3B and an OF who can get steals, but its like like switching positions of Figgins and whoever in the OF ..so thats not really needed.

your 2 aces are solid with Webb and Lincecum. Johnson should be good. i think after that you have good potential with Sanchez/Jimenez/Parra/Escobar/Zimmerman. it would be nice to have someone more secure/safe for your 3rd/4th type pitcher. someone more consistent to where you know what to expect. im not sold on Jimenez. he walks alot. those walks could hurt in Coors. i think he ends up with an ERA into the 4's with a high WHIP. he has potential for more, but its a risk.
if Marmol gets the closers role away from Gregg you would be alot better position there. im not sure i trust Francisco in Texas.
