Give me your opinion and be honest. I understand that I have too many OF's on the Bench, what holes do you think I need to fill and who do you think I should drop? Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

[Pedantic]

You really need to work on your pitching. Wood is a good ace, but it goes downhill from there. It's a good thing your league doesn't count pitcher walks. IMO, Glavine shouldn't be on your roster. Neither should Ventura or Biggio. Get another solid closer. Urbina won't help you if he's in Japan. Outfield could use some work, too. I wouldn't go into the season with Drew starting on my team.

Yea, Ventura was an autopick as I had to take a break around 11:30 to help my G/F. I guess that is what I get.

[Ecologic]

If Urbina ends up in Japan (not definite right?), do you have any rec's on who I should pick up?

What about starters that probably weren't drafted to help my rotation? Any ideas?

I am behind Drew this year though

Let me know any ideas on who I should pick up if you don't mind. Thanks a lot for your input it was kind of what I was expecting.

mmmm starting pitchers..... maybe Ted Lilly or Josh Towers or Mark Redman.... Rich Harden... AJ Burnett for later in the year (wont be ready till May-ish)... Jerome Williams, Rueter, Ainsworth... There are alot out there

[Ecologic]

Thanks for the tips.

The only pitchers you mention that are still available are Josh Towers and Rueter.

Only if you have time, but as you can tell I have been a little out of the loop in regards to baseball in general, so if you could tell me a few more SP reccomendations and some RP's that would be flat out awesome.

Hopefully I will at least be able to compete

What do you think about Chad Cordeo who will hopefully take over the closer job?
