10 team league but went 25rd deep. Im in the top 3 but looking to upgrade in speed (steals/runs) , 3b and always looking for the next breakout pitcher who will give me better WHIP.
I have a PLatoon of Blalock and Encarcion at 3b and my top steal guys are HanRam, Utley, Holliday, but im still lacking. My pitchers are Kazmir, Shields, Haarang, Grienke, Loshe, Oswalt, and Wandy Rodriguez.
Rickie Weeks - getting full playing time, kinda thrown around tho in the batting order (bench/utility is ibanez, ethier, jason bartlet, EE, and
Kelly Johnson - leadoff but is very inconsistent (my 2b is utley)
Mark Reynolds - strikes out alot but is projected to hit 30 plus HR's
Carlos Guillén - my sleeper im watching but is dealing w/ an injury that i dont really know too much about
Adam LaRoche - starts out slow every year, waiting for the right time to pull the trigger but dunno if i really need him since I have Votto
Mark Teahen - i know he was a monster in ST and people were excited about 2b elgibility but thats not going to happend now, so does he now lose all that potential?
Jeff Francoeur - had him, dropped him but hes supposed to be much better w/ new batting stance...my of's are holiday, ethier, dukes, rios, c.lee
Marlon Byrd - got hot last year, on a good offensive lineup
Franklin Morales - just been brought back up by the rox, i know he had a nice start to the season and was decent last year but does he beat out Loshe/Wandy?
Anibal Sánchez - kinda another sleeper iam watching closely, since he's on one of the hottest teams in baseball right now. (yuck that was tough to say since iam a Mets fan)
Phil Hughes - if wang goes down, Im guessing hes the logical replacement, but dunno how his spring was and if i really need him

I think you look fine just the way you are. None of those guys is an upgrade over your guys IMO. I guess I could see an argument for Reynolds over EE, but that's a really minor point. You closers are weak, but I see what you're doing there (trying to ride out Franklin and cover your bases for the Bal closer spot).
i agree about Loshe, he pitched well last season and is cont. that success this year and StL has a very dangerous lineup.
Once they figgure out the closer situation they could be the wildcard contender.
Thankyou
If I did decide to cut him loose the WW (people I like) Morales for Col, Hughes for Yanks, Brett Myers for Philly, Perez for Mets, and a guy im watching closely Glenn Perkins for the Twins.
Go with Brett Myers. No way he should be on the wire. He's got nice stuff when he's on, and the Phils are going to win a lot of games. He's a bit of an injury risk (bullpen to starting is always trouble), but with that kind of talent on the WW you'll be fine.
