I see a few holes that need fixing:
1. Young has been in a statistical decline for the last few seasons. He cannot be counted upon to provide the high batting average he did in the past. I might trade Young for a pitcher and plug in Andrus, who has elite speed.
2. If Seth Smith or Ryan Spilborghs are available, then I'd drop Fowler for one of them.
3. You need another closer, since Ziegler's job isn't terribly secure.
4. You also need another solid SP. Lohse and Smoltz are both risk plays. On my teams, I only like having one such pitcher.
Good team overall. Should be competitive.
I never smile if I can help it.... Showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates. When someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life.
